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

Hitting the Proton Music release schedule in mid-2020, Juan 
Deminicis and his twin-track Synchronicity was an instant 
classic. With a pair of remixes from Alex O'Rion and Subandrio 
forthcoming on the flagship imprint, a 'Particles Edition' sees 
remixes from Colombian and UAE artists.

From the northern Caribbean coast city of Cartagena, Gux Jimenez 
has been a mainstay of the Colombian dance music scene for over 
15 years. Nominated for the Latin American Electronic Music and 
Vicious Music Awards in 2018, Jimenez has an enviable triple 
century of production credits to his name for such esteemed 
imprints as Round Triangle, Balkan Connection and fellow 
countryman, Juan Pablo Torrez's Clubsonica Records.

Making his Particles debut, the Gux Jimenez remix of 
Synchronicity is a multi-layered offering that bears all the 
melodic hallmarks of Juan Deminicis' original offering. Adding a 
driving beat and 16th-note rolling bassline, familiar refrains 
ripple across the mid-range while white-noise washes and 
dancefloor character create a dynamic new sound that reaches its 
zenith via a filtered and fizzing rendition of the stepped 
arpeggio so central to the original. The result is a rich and 
impressive Particles debut.

A regular across the clubs of the Middle East and a Pacha Ibiza 
Dubai residency to his name, Ejaz Ahamed is as comfortable 
behind the decks as he is producing the club gems that fill his 
unique DJ sets. With performances alongside a host of notable 
names that include John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo and James 
Zabiela, Ahamed's production credentials are no less impressive 
in a career that began in early 2017 with remixes for PHW 
Elements and Yin and Yang. Additional work for OLD SQL, Stellar 
Fountain and BC2 in 2019 has also seen Ahamed's stock rise. A

trio of remixes for Particles that have seen reworkings of Jero 
Nougues and Sam Heyman in July 2018 and June 2019, were followed 
by a remix of Julian Nates' Renaissance in April 2020. Now 
adding a fourth remix to his Particles portfolio, the Ejaz 
Ahamed remix of Synchronicity flows effortlessly via a dynamic 
rolling percussive groove and heavy beat. A cadenced bassline 
adds to the dancefloor character as elements from Juan 
Deminicis' original seep into the eight-minute piece. 
Simultaneously, a raft of additional production material weaves 
its way in and out of proceedings. The stepped arpeggio so 
central to the original makes its presence felt in the second 
half as textured pads add further to a hypnotic and well-crafted 
remix.
