[ ::.. RELEASE NOTES ..:: ]
............................

Operating out of the global fashion capital, Davide Ferrario is 
a stylish new name within the world of underground dance music. 
With releases on Manjumasi, My Other Side of the Moon and 
Kitchen Recordings, the Milan based artist returns to Particles 
after remixing Rudy in February 2020. Now debuting with his 
twin-track End of an Era EP, the title track is an organic house 
gem that bristles with vibrant, low-slung groove and gently 
panned arpeggio backdrop. Before long, a beautiful and emotive 
piano section enters the fray, juxtaposed against heavy 
metronomic beat. Counterpoint melodies entwine effortlessly 
adding to the emotion and aural texture in an impressive 
opening. Tempo provides a slightly more powerful melodic techno 
vibe as driving beat and gated chords sit against each other in 
perfect unison. A shimmering arpeggio and glass lead motif add 
further intrigue as a free-flowing phrase swims from left to 
right with ease. The result is a track that showcases Ferrario's 
skill as a composer, producer and musician.

With over a century of production credits stretching back over 
an eight-year period, the combined talents of Sergey Kulikov an 
Vitaly Bragin have found Doyeq a force to be reckoned with. 
Regular DJ performances across Moscow have contributed to this 
reputation as has music signed to Manjumasi, Kindisch and 
trueColors, the latter through the Break into My Walls EP 
including a remix from Hraach and Amen Miran. Making their 
Particles debut, the Doyeq remix of End of an Era is an 
impressive offering that makes intelligent use of the melodies 
central to Ferrario's track while intelligently introducing a 
new clicking and fizzing rhythmic framework. A searing, 
glissando lead makes its presence felt post-breakdown to 
devastating effect in a remix that is a welcome and powerful 
addition to the Particles catalogue.

Estonian artist, Oleg Ivanov, has an ear for the cinematic 
through his about : river pseudonym. Concentrating on building a 
narrative through his music with stratified layers of sound and 
a wide and varied sonic palette, his music for Easy Summer, 
Astrolabe Recordings and Nie Wieder Schlafen has been a powerful 
indicator of his talent, not least through his six-track EP for 
the latter in June 2020. Making his Particles debut, the about : 
river remix of End of an Era revels in reversed playback of the 
original's powerful melodic sequences, while adding a sumptuous 
array of further production material. A new motif pierces its 
way through the mid-upper frequency range, complemented by an 
organic rhythmic framework that rattles along in stereo-panned 
groove and subtle ambient effects. The resulting reworking of 
Davide Ferrario is an impressive debut.

Two new original tracks plus remixes from Doyeq and about : 
river find Davide Ferrario at the start of something special 
with his End of an Era.
