• Format: Stereo 44kHz 256Kbps (CBR)

Hollidayrain is giving us a lot of really well produced trancy/club stuff. Let's start off our weekend with another! This progressive house track launches with a long dj intro but soon gets into a fun groove with some very upbeat synths and melodies that sound straight out of a 16-bit Sonic the Hedgehog game. Great stuff.

• Artist: Mnemosyne
• Title: Evisceration
• Album: protagonistrecords.net
• Year: 2010
• Length: 4:09 minutes (9.59 MB)
• Format: Stereo 44kHz 320Kbps (CBR)

Mnemosyne hits us with a Nu-Style Gabba track. Sweet kick modulations, awesome melodies, and some chopped up vocals. Warning: Explicit Lyrics. While this isn't a style I care for myself, let me know wether you want more like this on Protagonist. Put a comment here, or hit me on twitter: @sgxmusic.

• Artist: Platonist
• Title: Ezkalate
• Album: protagonistrecords.net
• Track: 1
• Genre: Electronic
• Year: 2009
• Length: 7:42 minutes (11.94 MB)
• Format: Stereo 44kHz 216Kbps (VBR)

Developing slowly from a pretty minimal, dry, piece of electronica, to a full trancy/club track with a lofi, chiptune-esque slant, it takes a while to get going, but getting there is great. Check it out.

• Artist: Navi
• Title: Monsoon Season
• Album: protagonistrecords.net
• Year: 2010
• Length: 3:46 minutes (5.42 MB)
• Format: Stereo 44kHz 192Kbps (CBR)

Navi hits us with some slick hiphop and rapping. Great beat, buzzing bass synth, slick scratching. Love it. Monsoon Season is off of Navi's recently released album, Grayscale which is downloadable for free. The rest is similarly awesome.

We're starting a new initiative here at Protagonist, changing things up a bit.
Instead of relying on free track from artists that sell music through Protagonist, we're going to be accepting free track submissions from anyone and posting a constant stream of awesome music every week.
The goal is to post one single every single weekday (that's 5 a week) if we can get interest high enough and keep the quality of submissions high enough. At minimum, we'll post three a week.
So watch out for a stream of awesome electronic music coming your way! It's already started, if you've noticed. Subscribe to our podcast/rss feed to get music and updates automatically through your RSS reader or iTunes! Click the big "pop up player" button on the right to have a new window open up that streams all tracks in the order posted! Listen at work! Keep up with updates by being a fan on facebook and following on twitter. If you know any awesome indie electronic musicians, give em a heads up and tell them to submit their track to us! Anything with an electronic edge to it will be considered!
Peace! And enjoy the music!

• Album: protagonistrecords.net
• Genre: Electronic
• Year: 2009
• Length: 5:00 minutes (11.48 MB)
• Format: Stereo 44kHz 319Kbps (ABR)

The first track off of his new A Sense of Urgency 2009 album, Chain Reaction comes at ya with a groovin', plodding, almost swingin' standout beat, dirty, lofi bass, and syncopated synths for a pretty killer album-starter. Stream his album, or name your price to download it HERE.

• Artist: Bankai
• Title: Party Harder
• Album: protagonistrecords.net
• Year: 2009
• Length: 4:31 minutes (11.24 MB)
• Format: Stereo 44kHz 320Kbps (CBR)

Woah! We haven't had anything like this on Protagonist before, and it is awesome. Crazy aggressive electro chopped up breaks, defective synths, wild vocals (avoid this if you don't like colorful language). This is the first track off of Bankai's freeTeen Slut Pimp Strut EP. It looks like all his music is free. How noble! Check him out. I am!
