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.

Open your mind, Open your heart and Open your ears. Music has metamorphosed into so many things for so many people. It should not have borders and that creativity and experimentation without restrictions and expectations is what allows artists to express innovative ideas, make exceptional music that becomes timeless and treasured. 

Music is one of the most profound and unifying forces in the world. It transcends language, culture, and borders, speaking directly to the human soul in ways that words alone cannot. A universal language, music bridges gaps between people, fostering understanding, connection, and shared emotion. It has the power to heal, to inspire, and to transform lives, offering solace in times of hardship and amplifying joy in moments of celebration.

Throughout history, music has been a reflection of humanity's deepest emotions and experiences, a timeless medium for storytelling and self-expression. It connects us to our past, unites us in the present, and envisions a better future. It is woven into the fabric of our lives, enhancing our individuality while reminding us of our collective humanity.

Music is not merely entertainment; it is a necessity—an intrinsic part of what makes us human. Its rhythms resonate with our heartbeat, its melodies echo our dreams, and its harmonies remind us of the beauty of coexistence. In a divided world, music remains a powerful reminder that, at our core, we are all the same—seeking connection, meaning, and a voice to express the inexpressible.

It all started with a few friends who like to hang out and bold enough to roll out a fresh vision with true emotion into their productions. Live “Living Room Sessions” (LRS) started evolving and building a tribe of exceptionally talented artists and like-minded souls, bringing people together as one within a liminal space. 

Influences such as House, R&B, Blues, Rock & Roll, Indie Dance, Deep and Progressive House, Melodic Deep-Tech and Psychedelic Trance and everything in between. Conjuring up exaggerated tones that are brightened harmonics over others ecstatic combinations.

Always a chance to dance, LADYRO$E will take you on a carpet ride, that is her promise!
