----------
 A truly talented artist with huge following and global appeal, Alex O’Rion continues to go from strength to strength within the world of underground dance. With his work spanning some 15 years of commercial releases, the Dutch master is a welcome returnee to Meanwhile with a stellar quartet of original tracks.

A regular across the industry’s finest purveyors of modern and cerebral progressive house music, Alex O’Rion has constantly found his music featured on such esteemed imprints as Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat, Guy J’s Lost & Found and Nick Warren’s Hope. A regular visitor to the upper echelons of the Beatport charts, over a million Spotify streams in 2020 and 4,000 followers points to broad appeal and wide-ranging support.

Now returning to Meanwhile after a trio of remixes for label head-honchos GMJ & Matter on June 2020’s “Gauntlet” and February 2021’s “The Path”, Alex O’Rion now returns to the label with a devastating 4-track original EP of unrivalled quality.

The “Echium” title track is a blistering sub-bass monster that drives along powerfully on a bed of ticking hi-hats and chest-thumping kick. Building in momentum, smooth pads and effortless synth lines flow across the 8-minute piece before revelling in a stripped-back breakdown. Picking up the pace again in the third movement, gorgeous harmonic overtones layer delicately across each other, borne of never-ending delay sweeps.

“Stranded” continues the powerful rhythmic narrative and otherworldly sonic landscape before a percussive loop provides subtle melodic phrasing. Shifting synth sequences bisect the left-right spectrum as waves of white noise fall against a rocky outcrop of percussive hats. Melodic lines continue to evolve in delicate patterns into the second half in a sonic palette of sheer bliss.

A sumptuous bassline groove propels “The Chase” through its hypnotic paces, accompanied by a chugging rhythmic backdrop. Simultaneously, gentle synth motifs pulsate in side-chained synchronicity as a rich symphony of sound swells into the second half against a plucked earworm phrase. The result is a dynamic and devastating club-friendly track that is sure to inspire a multitude of hands-in-the-air moments.

“The Serpent” ends the quadrilogy with its rippling sound effects that cascade in spiral patterns against a melodious foreground. Delicate percussive patterns marry with a deep resonant kick to provide a rhythmic anchor, giving freeform synth motifs the opportunity to express a meandering sonic voyage that reaches a powerful crescendo at the midpoint. Hitting its stride again in the third movement with additional melodic sequencing, the result is a charismatic end to an outstanding original EP.

Premiere: Alex O'Rion - Echium  [Meanwhile]

In October 2020, GMJ released his debut solo EP on the Meanwhile imprint. “Mood Medicine” thus provided a tantalising glimpse into the Australian maestro’s musical soul with three original tracks of the highest order. Returning to the EP, a trio of remixes provides new insight courtesy of Paul Kardos, Sebastian Sellares and fellow label-head, Matter.

 

An artist with a rich array of music to his name, Paul Kardos has seen his work featured on such esteemed imprints as Balkan Connection, Soundteller Records and Darin Epsilon’s Perspectives Digital. Making his Meanwhile debut, the Hungarian artist impresses with a deep and powerful reworking of the title track. Intelligently making use of original components central to GMJ’s original, a glorious new melodic theme flows across “Mood Medicine” in sparkling fashion. Redolent in reverb and delay, sonic textures cascade across the left/right spectrum as new arpeggiated sequences and counterpoint phrases emerge in the third movement. A heavy beat and effervescent percussive groove add further to a powerful statement of intent from the Paul Kardos studio.

 

Fresh from the success of his “Dunes at Dawn” EP on Meanwhile, Sebastian Sellares has been at the vanguard of a fresh and modern progressive house sound since a debut for PHW Elements in 2018. Going on to see his music signed to UV, Or Two Strangers and Proton Music, his “Zen State” EP for the latter was a notable highlight in October 2020. Returning to Meanwhile, the Sebastian Sellares remix of “Precipice” oozes class as the familiar bouncing bassline and central melodic theme of the original envelope the listener. Building with ease, white-noise effects pulsate gently alongside a rolling groove and deep resonant kick as melodic sequences filter into sonic range, highlighted by a stripped back and spine-tingling breakdown.

 

Matty Doyle needs little introduction with his Matter production pseudonym. A regular across the finest underground dance imprints from Cid Inc.’s Replug to Roger Martinez’s Higher States and the renowned Balance Music, the Melbourne resident continues to dine at underground dance music’s top table with an inimitable blend of “deep synth lines, driving bass and pulsating rhythms”. November 2020 saw Matter debut on the Meanwhile imprint with his “Amanita” EP as he now returns to remix his friend, production partner and label co-owner. Reworking “Rite of Passage”, a trademark smorgasbord of rich and evocative soundscapes wash over the listener as glistening melodic lines flow enticingly atop. A chorus of effects pan the stereo spectrum in dizzying glory as themes inherent in GMJ’s original reveal themselves with ease. The result is another masterpiece of sonic seduction from the Matter studios.

PREMIERE: Kazuki - Samsara (Subandrio Remix)  [Late Night Music]

Operating out of his Brooklyn studio, Mike Isai is a new name to grace the Meanwhile catalogues as the Australian imprint delivers its 18th release with “Home / 87 North”. A single remix comes from fellow US artist, Forerunners.

A relative newcomer to the Progressive House scene, Mike Isai’s nascent production career has already seen a debut on the Nick Warren led, Hope Recordings, via September 2020’s “Pillars to Butterflies” EP. A March 2021 reworking of Shanil Alox’s “Algorithm” for Droid9 illustrated Isai’s remix capabilities, as the US star now debuts on Meanwhile with his twin-tracker.

Opening proceedings, “Home” is a dark and sultry piece that pulsates hypnotically through its near 9-minute voyage with a panoply of textured layers and white-noise effects. Quickly hitting its stride, a pounding kick is accompanied by an immaculately syncopated synth motif that provides the basis for a counterpoint phrase to sit elegantly on top in glittering repetitive pattern. Reaching a rousing filtered denouement at the mid-point, “Home” drops back into a familiar arrangement as all elements combine to impressive effect in the third movement.

Continuing the powerful rhythmic framework of its partner, “87 North” immediately impresses with its 16th note bassline and seismic kick. Another syncopated synth loop provides an imposing trademark production technique as haunting melodies drift over the mid-range, drenched in reverb and white-noise washes. Coruscating pads add further intrigue as the 7-minute piece evolves, coming fully to the fore in a ‘wall of sound’ breakdown, before the second half picks up the pace again with percussive intensity. The juxtaposition of meandering melodic threads and bassline urgency thus creates an impressively woven dynamism.

Another new artist to grace Meanwhile finds Arizona based Brenden LaBonte creating a potent wave of success with his Forerunners moniker. With over a double century of production credits to his name for some of the finest modern dance imprints, Sudbeat Music, Anjunadeep, and Black Hole have all played host to the US artist’s emotive soundscapes. Reworking “Home”, the Forerunners remix is chock full of the trademark soundscapes that characterise LaBonte’s work, with whispering melodies floating atop a powerful beat and ticking hi-hat groove. A relentless bassline sequence adds weight and poise over the 8-minute offering as subtle variations on Mike Isai’s original make their presence felt. Pausing for breath at a spine-tingling mid-point, cadenced bass groove and subtle melodic prowess hit the heights in the latter stages.

New music sees Mike Isai guided home by his north star, accompanied by a shining remix from Forerunners

Esteban Ikasovic is one of those artists which came out of the blue but you see all over the place nowadays. And there's a reason for that of course, because the Argentinian producer is simply very skilled! This time he drops two new originals on Francesco Pico's Magnitude Recordings label, accompanied by a big remix by industry veteran Golan Zocher. Essential stuff for the progressive house community!

Continuing a strong summer season, Madloch's Sound Avenue imprint presents new interpretations of Nopi's Flatter'. Originally released in October of 2020 as part of the Ukrainian's well received Where to Go' EP, the creation rounded out the collection on the strength of Sarah Chilanti's dreamy vocals and a delicate piano top line. Now bringing new life to the much loved track, Sound Avenue invites Dmitry Molosh, about:river and GastoM to provide their own interpretations for the summer season.

The first interpretation is provided by Dmitry Molosh who returns to the label for his fifth appearance. The Belarus based producer sits firmly in progressive music's elite class of artists, showcasing his work via Cid Inc's Replug Records, Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, Nick Warren's Hope Recordings and Guy Mantzur's Plattenbank Records. As a mainstay in Beatport's sales charts, Dmitry now makes a welcome return to Sound Avenue with a powerful rendition of Flatter'. Beginning with warm beats and effervescent percussion, it's the pulsating nature of the groove which becomes instantly compelling. Driving, chunky and full of great character, it anchors what is a cosmic slice of progressive house. Emerging melodies marry luminous tones across the first act, before a break of clustered arps and colourful tonal tension spearheads an electric drop and epic finale.

Release Info

Presenting their third offering of 2021, Roger Martinez’s Higher States welcomes Abity to the label for their debut EP. Hailing from Argentina, Jóse Duque and Bruno Signorelli make up the Abity production team. The Rosario natives have been collaborating and creating their brand of progressive music for over a decade. Laying claim to a discography of close to 150 credits, the Nick Warren favourites have showcased their music via Antrim's Or Two Strangers, 3rd Avenue, Soundteller Records and Stellar Fountain. Following a release for Nikko.Z’s Dopamine White, Abity now makes their much-anticipated Higher States debut with ‘Hollow’. 

As Abity approaches their thirteenth year together, the duo’s creative synergy continues to flourish with ‘Hollow’. Typically impressive, the seven-minute journey is one of power and hypnosis, characterized by a muscular groove, charming effects and breezy atmospheric swells. A forest of neatly manicured percussion adds to the glorious progression, as vocal overlays bring further depth at timely moments leading to the break. Tranquil arps highlight the centrepiece, bringing meditative qualities to further saturate your senses, onwards to a thumping finale. 

The companion piece ‘Particles’ is equally impressive with its infectious drive and otherworldly atmospheres. Warm and full, it’s voluptuous groove and rhythmic pulses are transcendent, building momentum as interwoven effects delight with their mystical charm. A magnificent break sits at the heart of the journey, highlighted by glassy arps and muted beats, eventually melting down to a rousing drum roll and suitably hypnotic finale. It rounds out an exceptional Higher States debut for Abity, an artist duo who continues to impress with their heady creations. Highly recommended.
