Launched in summer 2012, Mobilize's "Evening Kisses" arose from a conceptual idea that saw a six track EP launched in tandem with a six-part Particles Guest mix series. Particles now revisits four of Mobilize's original tracks with remixes from the cream of talented producers from across the globe.

From the populous Indian continent, Vinayak Karkthikayan has become a widely respected figure under his Vinayak^A production guise. Since his first work for Baroque, a slew of subsequent releases including the full-length 2012 album "Lonesome Train" on Wind Horse Records, the immense "You May Sit and Wonder" on Dopamine, and "Sands of Goa" on Mesmeric, have seen Vinayak's career rise ever upward. Taking his unique approach to "Evening Kisses", Vinayak^A has transformed Mobilize's original into a rippling rhythmic triumph complete with atmospheric echoes of his home in the shape of haunting vocal cuts and tribal percussion. A series of lilting lead lines and pads further add to the wonderful sensation of an intriguing odyssey through sound.

Dutch master craftsman, Exoplanet, has consistently performed feats of ingenuity with the rich and colourful sound palette at his disposal. One of Particles most prolific artists, 2012 saw the scintillating "Synthetic Evolution" and magical "Minsdtream" EPs, while 2013 saw impressive interpretations of the latter from Verve and Verche in a January remix EP as well as a guiding hand on the tiller of Sed Project's album, "The End" for Proton Music. Taking a typically unique approach to Mobilize's "Freedom", Exoplanet's soundstage is full of breathing pads, twinkling synths and an array of lo-fi sampled effects that would grace the works of Holger Czukay and Can. This married to an immaculate sense of rhythm and programming skills marks "Freedom" as something special.

From the Silk Sofa artist roster, Canadian, Harold-Alexis first caught the ear of Jay Epoch with his beautifully organic sounding and best-selling remix of DJSaint's, "Souls" on the Gorm Sorensen run label. 2011 marked the launch of Toronto resident's career with the stunning "The Ocean's Feedback" supported by James Warren in his "Visceral" project. Remixing "Sad Bisco" here, Harold-Alexis has made subtle and clever use of Mobilize's track components, maintaining the rhythmic vibrancy of the original while adding numerous layers of trademark melodic sheen over proceedings to present an impressive remix.

Owen Ear, from the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk is also a regular contributor to the Silk Sofa portfolio with a penchant for subtle, crisp percussion and startling melodic sensibility. With almost 50 releases for the likes of Easy Summer, Terminal 01 and Cartoon Fresh, Owen's original productions for Silk Sofa have seen support from Solarstone, cementing his reputation for unparalleled melodic verve on releases such as "The Crowd" and "Alone" EPs. His remix of "Ocean of Love" continues this rich vein of form with an interpretation of rare beauty and poise. Emotive strings, and shimmering motifs juxtapose effortlessly against angular and distorted percussive hits while a deep growling bass line and a broken bear further provide a sublime aural experience.

Mobilized by stunning remixes from three continents, "Evening Kisses" is still illuminating the night sky.
