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."

Hernan Cattaneo returns to the label showing off the amazing talent of Jody Barr, picked as his studio partner for the first time on the upcoming 'Airglow' EP.

'El Maestro' needs little introduction. An active DJ since 1983, it was his fateful residency for Clubland at Pacha Buenos Aires that saw him take the world by storm after being noticed by Perfecto Records boss, Paul Oakenfold. Life since has become a blur of international gigs, genre-defining mixes and global acclaim, but always at the heart of it is the music he loves and wants to share with the world. This will never change.

Jody, by comparison, is still very much in the beginnings of his career. But what a start it's been! Signed to LNOE, The Soundgarden, Armada and more, his sound is vibrant, uplifting and groovy winning him plaudits as diverse as Black Coffee, Alan Fitzpatrick and Joris Voorn.

First up, title track 'Airglow' wastes no time in finding its feet. Subtle acid bubbles alongside the snappy percussive framework of the opening section, and airy sweeps billow into the soundscape ramping up the energy for the main drop, where ornate synths remind us of trancey memories and sweaty hugs in a field during high summer.

'Clara's Dream' opens with deep tribal vibes. Low slung and mellow, the e-moments are super emotive. Finally, 'First Wave' ups the tempo with more subtle tribal feels. Arps and a wobbly reese bass aim this one squarely at those moments Hernan is famous for when all bets are off and there's no way you're ever leaving this dance floor! Even after 40 years at the top of his game, Hernan continues to find a way to surprise and delight us all.

After playing ‚Lovestar’ to death, we reached out to see if Sébastien was still feeling in an emotional mood. We discovered quickly that, in fact, this is where his creative heart lives and breathes. 

The two tracks featured here were conjured up (in a daydream we like to believe) in time to play out at all the Summer All Day I Dream closing events in the USA, on Be@TV's coverage at the BPM festival and on our South American tour. Already loved, already "track ID'd, and all ready to create more magical moments.

Enjoy!

Sébastien Léger - Lost Miracle

Replug Records continues its 2018 journey by welcoming Navar to the label for his debut EP. Through releasing material on Guy J's Lost and Found Records and Canadian behemoth microCastle, the Dutch artist emerged in 2014, firmly establishing himself in the world of deep melodic house. More recently Navar lent his talents to the long standing Belgian Events brand EDGE, launching their new imprint alongside a remix from Guy J as 2017 came to a close. The Dutch artist now steps into the new year with his long awaited debut for Cid Inc's Replug Records.

Beginning with the EP's title track 'You Find' it becomes evidently clear what a unique talent Navar has become. The near twelve minute opus effortlessly melds elements of minimal, deep house, progressive and electronica, for a free flowing journey that has become a synonymous and inimitable style of the Dutch artist. Deep and fluid throughout, it's delicate motifs and organic designs are mysterious yet emotive, backed by a warm, pulsating groove, underpinning the track and translating it's spiritual message to the dance floor. 

The lone interpretation of 'You Find' is provided by Replug label artist Dmitry Molosh who returns for his third appearance. The Belarus producer's debut on the Finnish imprint proved impactful, making its way into the sets of Hernan Cattaneo and Guy Mantzur, eventually leading to Beatport chart success and releases on Plattenbank Records and Sudbeat Music. As 2018 begins, Dmitry sits as one of the most exciting and in demand artists in progressive house, having toured the world, showcasing his fresh take on the genre while his productions remain on the cutting edge. Now presenting his first remix of the new year Dmitry brings 'You Find' a step closer to the dance floor. Encased in a soft hypnotic shell, it's reshaped groove and rhythmic pulses are transcendent, building momentum as the melodic storyboard takes shape. Atmospheric overlays and fuzzy stabs add further warmth, before the second of two breaks ventures into hazy harmonics and hopeful vocal phrases, creating a wispy musical collage to close out the eleven minute journey.

The second odyssey 'Moonstruck' follows the smooth, organic qualities of its predecessor. Possessing more of a dramatic undertone, raspy stabs and crisp percussion drive the framework, as freeform harmonics create a charismatic canopy. Transferring energy into the second act, spiralling motifs slowly decay into a wall of white noise as the groove drops with thunderous affirmation.

In a world of homogenous sounding artists, Navar's Replug debut sees him raise the bar once again, setting in motion what promises to be a monumental year for the Dutch producer.
