Roland Appel releases debut album
Roland Appel strikes out on his own with a debut solo album Talk To Your Angel due out next month.
The albums title hints at Appel’s newfound path as solo producer: “When you are working alone you sometimes want to talk to someone - but on the other hand you don’t want to talk to them, because you really enjoy being alone. It’s then that it becomes clear to you that you can talk to your angel”.
Talk To Your Angel is a collection of mostly dancefloor cuts that meld song structures with Appel's influences: techno, house, soul, disco and house.
The nine-tracker includes past singles Dark Soldier and Unforgiven, as well as current 12" Inner Soul.

The Khvaleyev brothers have been writing music for a while, but it wasn't until 2007 that Pavel and Vitaliy saw their success take flight.
Their music has been selected this year on both Jimmy Van M's Balance 10.1 compilation as well as Tiesto's In Search of Sunrise 6, releases on Traum, Regular, their own Disoma and Moonbeam labels, and finally Kickin' -- home of Trentemoller's "An Evening with the Bobi Brothers".
The first Moonbeam originals for Proton Music come on a dual EP release.
Insight, Sky, Predator, and Samurai highlight the key aspects of this Russian duo's diverse sound: Working with a variety of vocalists, catchy melodies, and a strong handle on energy.
If you want more Moonbeam, be sure to check out their show of the same name on Proton as well as their plentiful back catalogue on Beatport.

Micah´s Lukasewich (myspace page)In just a few short years Micah Lukasewich has built his name and sound on a solid sense of melody and rhythm that is well known throughout the progressive dance world.
Producing since 1997, Micah pushes his boundaries with each new production/remix, and they are plentiful with at least one or two original tracks or remixes released per month within the year 2005 alone!.
Micah's music has appeared on such labels as: Fade,Silverplanet, Method, Acting out, Propulsion and More!, with remixes slated for the prestigious Lost Language.
Over the past few months Proton Music has explored the sounds of progressive tech house. Now with Spring upon us we turn to melodic Techno first with an EP from the rising German duo Davis & May followed by a double-A side release from Umek.
Davis & May came out of the gate full throttle in 2007 supported by Sasha with their Neotrond EP on Piemont records, the label & duos first release. Before long their music had been played by John Digweed as well.
Now the two manage their own labels Maripoza and *back home as well as their monthly Proton Radio show.
The Motion EP is their first solo release on Proton Music and features the absolutely orgasmic "Clouds Passing By" featuring visceral and evocative melodies that hark back to the labels "Fingerpaint" beginnings.
Support for the EP comes in from Proton's top jocks-- Anthony Pappa, Jody Wisternoff, and Jimmy Van M.
Don't miss it!
