When We Dip | Premiere: Petar Dundov unveils his debut solo offering on Proton Music

Petar Dundov has made an impressive mark on Proton Music thus far with a pair of typically high-class remixes. Reworkings of Simos Tagias and Huminal in September 2019 and 2020 has seen the Croatian become a welcome figure on the label. Returning to the flagship imprint after releasing the glorious new ‘Ghostmachine’ EP with Gregor Tresher on Dubfire’s SCI+TEC imprint in October 2020, Petar’s debut solo offering for Proton Music sees the beautiful ‘Salvation / Nature of Nature’ take centre stage.

‘Salvation’ is a typically smooth and melodious offering that glitters with delayed analogue synth lines and syncopated bass pattern. Building in seamless fashion atmospheric pads and a squelching 303-inspired lead line add intrigue and dancefloor character before counterpoint lines emerge at the mid-point. In tandem, a driving beat and rapid-fire hi-hat percussion create a stunning hypnotic framework. ‘Nature of Nature’ lilts gently along with cleverly programmed bass patterns and percussive wood-block groove that hints at verdant jungle atmosphere. Subtle melodic lines sit atop in shimmering arrays and the 303 character contributes to the EP narrative while stereo-panned pads add class through emotive chord changes.

Offering ‘Salvation’ via a pair of new original track and remixes from Jamie Stevens, Trilucid and Phil Martyn, Petar Dundov has provided a musical force of nature.You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Salvation’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
