Behind the Progressive House : Release Notes
An artist who has quickly come to the fore over the past 3 years, Wolfframm now joins the Proton Music roster with his debut Us / Trommelbaer EP. A German/Australian producer with a growing set of production credentials to his name, Paul Richter has excelled under his Wolfframm pseudonym. A debut on Late Night Music in early-2020 has quickly led to more than 30 credits for the Melbourne-based imprint, before March 2024 saw the release of the Lucid EP on Particles including remixes from Jamie Stevens and Amháin. Now debuting on Protons flagship imprint, a whispered vocal heralds the opening of Us before a louder enunciation punctuates the 8-minute offering. Full of the dramatic cinematic layering that has become a trademark of his work, Wolfframms impressive production techniques are fully to the fore as an array of evolving melodic layers cascade off each other, blossoming at the mid-point, before exploding into the third movement. Anchored by a wonderful dancefloor groove that exudes dancefloor knowhow, Us is a pure joy to behold. Trommelbaer is a glorious groove-laden affair that bristles with a shuffling shaker-led percussion and deep kick. An immaculately syncopated bassline adds depth while a gloriously muted lead line gradually plucks its way into listener consciousness. A richly textured backdrop of pads and delicate vocal touches add to the soundscape as trademark cinematic strings and reverb-drenched lead-line emerge at the breakdown before evolving further in a dramatic and commanding second half. No stranger to the musical limelight, Dowden has been a key figure in the Progressive House genre, not least through a triple century of credits for the likes of Alex ORions Solis Records, GMJ & Matters Meanwhile, and Mangos Mango Alley. First appearing on Particles courtesy of a remix of Ric Neils Reasons, Dowden now joins the Proton Music roster with a beautifully crafted reworking of Wolfframm. Making intelligent use of the central melodic theme that runs through Trommelbaer, Dowdens skill is to wrap his interpretation around a crisp rhythmic shell that provides the perfect vehicle for a gradually evolving soundscape to flourish over its 8-minute timeframe. Pausing with a delicate, pulsating breakdown, the second half picks up the pace with dancefloor ease to create a memorable and unique interpretation of Wolfframms original. Andrea Cassino is no stranger to the Proton Music limelight. The Italian-born, artist has lit up the label with a score of production material that includes 2017s Divine, 2020s Losing Part of Me and 2021 Asante in collaboration with Lio Q. Furthermore, remixes for Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat, GMJ, Michael A and Savvas have shown another side to the Argentinean-based producers work. Now returning for the first time in over 2 years, the Andrea Cassino remix takes Us on a magical journey that is fuelled by a driving rhythmic backdrop and bassline gravitas with its roots firmly in the original. Thickly textured pads add to the dense aural collage and new ethereal phrases emerges alongside familiar phrasing as the striking rhythmic backdrop propels the remix forwards with incredible dancefloor prowess that blossoms in the second half with grace and poise.
