Behind the Progressive House : Release Notes

A pairing of considerable experience, Luke Brancaccio & Gai Barone return to Proton Music with a brand-new original track in the shape of Got to Get it Started, alongside remixes from Michael A and Orsen. A powerful duo with a rich combined history stretching back more than 15 years, the UK / Italian axis has accounted for some of the finest underground house releases. First coming together in August 2021, their Lust Stop / Letter to Her EP shone a bright light on Guy Js esteemed Lost & Found imprint before going on to feature on the likes of Selador, Renaissance Music and Sudbeat Music. A 2023 remix of Verche for Particles was then followed by a debut Proton Music remix of dernis the kids Maybe feat. Clara Jo a year later. Now returning with a debut original offering, Got to Get it Started is a powerful progressive gem that hits hard with thumping beat and ticking hats before a smooth female vocal proclaims the track title. A cast of hypnotic melodic elements builds with filtered intensity with a pulsating arp and hefty bassline to keep the energy high. A glorious piano phrase supplies old school vibes at the breakdown while cadenced vocal snippets evolve with the hypnotic array of pitched synth arps in the second half to reach a stirring crescendo. Michael A has been at the vanguard of the Proton Music sound since his 2017 Bright Hope EP. Over 60 production credits later and the Belarusian has seen an ever-evolving sound feature on the likes of Aura Tears, Geometria and 5 incarnations of the popular Fantasy series. Remixes for such iconic figures as Pole Folder, Dousk and Trilucid have also contributed to a sought-after production talent as Michael A reworks Got to Get it Started in typically majestic fashion. A huge thumping beat opens proceedings while a syncopated bassline echoes Luke Brancaccio and Gai Barones original. An immaculate percussive groove supplies dancefloor sensibility as the remix builds seamlessly. Pausing for breath at the breakdown, familiar melodies from Got to Get it Started shine through as they intertwine with Michaels original production material. The result is a seething, progressive gem that is another commanding reminder of Michael As talent and passion. Legendary figure, Dan Orsen, has been at the progressive scenes top table for over a decade. Responsible for some of the finest modern underground house tracks, the UK-born, Austrian-based artist has been a regular on Sudbeat Music, Perspectives Digital and a raft of releases on Cid Inc.s Replug where he heads up A&R. Nine remixes for Proton Music since a 2016 reworking of Mondkrater has seen Orsen interpret the likes of Roger Martinez, Dimuth K and GMJ & Matter, while a 10th Proton Music remix now sees him produce a driving mesmerising interpretation. Playing handsome tribute to the sonic overtones and vocal cadence of the original, Orsen transforms it into a spiky, coruscating, acid-powered affair that gradually builds in energy using the melodic crescendo of the original to magnificent effect in the second half. The result is a dramatic and impressive departure from the traditional Orsen sound. A dancefloor classic, Got to Get it Started sees Luke Brancaccio and Gai Barone jumpstart their Proton Music sound with glittering remixes from Michael A and Orsen.
