Rayomand - Running Away (Andrea Cassino Remix) [Particles]

Andrea Cassino needs little introduction with a back catalogue that has seen him at the forefront of the dance music industry for two decades. Firmly settled in his adopted Argentinean home, the Italian has been a regular contributor to Proton Music and Particles with both production partner, Alex Laben, and subsequently in impressive solo guise. 2017's "Divine" EP marked a debut solo outing on Proton Music with "Losing Part of Me" following in September 2020. A perfect sextet of remixes have found their way onto Particles for the likes of Nicolas Rada, Danny Lloyd and Simos Tagias, while a seventh now sees Andrea Cassino return to rework Rayomand. A pulsating, progressive house gem, a powerful bassline groove lays the foundation for elements from the original to sit enticingly on top, not least in the pitched effects so central to "Running Away". Creating a new melodic phrasing with its roots in Rayomand's work, Andrea Cassino's skill is to create a powerful and evocative interpretation that adds real gravitas to proceedings before subtle arpeggiated refrains make their presence felt in the final movement.
