1.Laguna (Original Mix)
If anything binds the many musical faces of Nate Raubenheimer, it’s that fact that each of his productions move. His latest work of Protoculture art, the mighty ‘Laguna’, is no exception. Featured on Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance 2013, this jewel sets a high standard for 2013.
There’s only few styles that South-African producer Protoculture hasn’t touched yet. And there’s even less that he can’t handle. Throughout the course of his career, that spans over 10 years already, he’s ever intrigued the listener with outstanding soundscapes, original melodies and solid, deep bass. ‘Laguna’ is another one of those. A real gem, that embraces you right there on the dance floor.
It provides that magical moment, when nothing but the music matters. Hands in the air, eyes closed and ‘Laguna’ to guide you.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Re*Brand is the hot imprint of Max Graham who has the ability to find out new talents and give them the space to develop their career with real support. Protoculture is one of those artists that were lucky to be close with Max Graham and he manage so quickly to make a such good name for himself and his great music. Of course we all witness his talent as dj along with Max at ASOT party in Mexico via the live You Tube streaming. His track Laguna is already included on the legendary compilation ASOT 2013 mixed and compiled by Armin van Buuren. Now is released in its full unedited extended version for all the fellow djs to play endlessly and maybe simultaneously all over the world. Its a magnificent creation of colourful feel good melodies, heavenly style female voices that elevate the whole track to another mystical mysterious level. The basslines are deep and haunting and his beats driving and energetic to carry you away for a cinematic journey. The breakdown is the moment that the huge synthy lead is unleashed to make the crowd go wild and start shouting with joy. When the beat kicks back it offers the finest climax to uplift body, spirit and soul without even understanding that something is happening to you. Epic proglifting trancer to wake up your imaginationa and senses. Once again Protoculture deliver the goods. Love IT!
