Proton Music was founded in April of 2005 by Proton Radio director and Particles host Jason Wohlstadter (aka Jay Epoch). The inspiration for the label came from it's first release, "Fingerpaint" by Digital Witchcraft, which at the time was having trouble finding a home.

The label aims to capture the variety of genres played on Proton Radio while keeping true to Jay Epoch's musical taste: atmospheric and melodic electronica.

Proton Music releases biweekly on Beatport, iTunes, and other digital retailers.

PROTON0064 Tarmo Vannas - Topaz - Part 2 (Jul 9th, 2008)

Login to Rate this Release »

  Tarmo Vannas, host of the weekly TechTribe Essentials show, is back on Proton Music with Part 2 of his "Topaz" EP. Part 1 came out last year featuring progressive remixes from Derek Howell, Benz & MD, and Federico Epis.

This time things go a bit deeper. Part 2 has remixes from Satoshi Fumi, Spin Science, and Electriano. Tarmo has re-done the original as well, crafting it into an 11 minute epic. As the line between techno, deep house, and progressive blur we're happy to say we don't really have any idea what genre to classify these remixes.

Keep an eye out for Japan's Satoshi Fumi who has a debut album on Klik records soon and Spin Science with a new EP coming soon on the always classy Urbantorque.

" Nice ep, as always great music on proton, my fav satoshi fumi this time, will play out for sure" - 4.0 / 5

Tom Solo (Invisible DJs) (USA)
"Great stuff here, I really think this is where progressive is headed, some good techno techniques in there and nice deep proggy synth sections that, for the most part, don't overpower the track." - 4.0 / 5

Sasha Le Monnier (UK)
"wicked package again from a label that never fails to deliver, especially love the Satoshi Fumi & Tarmo Vannas Remix! Great Stuff" - 4.5 / 5

Dingle (Northern Ireland)

Darin Epsilon (USA)
"Wicked package! It's a real toss-up between the Electricano and Satoshi Fumi remixes. Something good in every version, I think this EP will have mass crossover appeal for Progressive and Tech House crowds." - 4.5 / 5
