Subandrio - Tides Of Might (Juan Sapia Edit)

'Beginning the new year in style, Cid Inc’s Replug Records welcomes GMJ and Matter back to the label for a two-track showcase. Based in Melbourne, the Aussie duo have been beloved figures in the global progressive house scene for over a decade. Having forged a distinctive sound which focuses on inventive use of melody and rhythm, the duo has drawn the lines between global dance cultures without adhering to any fixed formula. Whether operating in solo capacity or as a duo, GMJ and Matter have taken their elusive production touch to the industry’s most esteemed imprints. From Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and UK behemoth Anjunadeep, to Australia's long-standing Balance Music and their own burgeoning Meanwhile imprint, it’s GMJ and Matter’s storytelling style that continues to surprise and inspire even the genre’s most discerning trendsetters. Replug has also served as a landing spot for the talented Aussie’s, with the release of Matter’s ‘Satori’ EP marking his label debut in 2017, while GMJ first arrived in 2016 with a contribution to the label’s Replugged, Vol. 2 collection. Now, fresh off their latest Meanwhile vehicle ‘EXT 135’, GMJ and Matter land back on Replug to begin the new year with ‘Metanoia’.  

 As a recent favourite of Replug boss Cid Inc, EP opener and title selection 'Metanoia' finds GMJ and Matter composing with a strong sense of space. Instantly seductive, its looping hypnotism and subtle musicality never fail to command your attention, driving each other into a whirlpool of spiralling emotions, making for a flexible club track that bends between scenes while injecting vibrant energy into the dancefloor. Rich atmospheres, effervescent percussion and dubbed out tones are at a premium across the eight-minute excursion, with each sound being an event in a slowly expanding landscape, zooming out to reveal a world of scale in which depth and contrast coax perfectly with rhythm and melody.  

 Moving forward to selection two, GMJ and Matter masterfully synthesize their talents into one singular meditative vision that is 'In Bloom'. Building with a subdued pulse, its smoky resonance eventually gives way to melodic experimentation, where textural and structural dimensions blanket subterranean wobbles and tightly knit percussion, resulting in a profound mood setting experience. Thematically distinct throughout, the duo’s misty melodies are haunting and highly memorable, ringing out in timeless suspension across a mood lifting break, before segueing into a utopian finale that resonates with a rare combination of hope and reflection. 

 The 'Metanoia' project is a fantastical journey across a vivid electronic cosmos, one where GMJ and Matter carefully balance technical vision, with thought-provoking musicality and elaborate rhythmic sequences, making for a two-track affair that brings us closer to knowing the enigmatic duo, while continuing to live in the mystery of their design.

GMJ & Matter - Metanioa

Premiere: GMJ & Matter - Metanoia [Replug]

A notable highlight in the Meanwhile production catalogue, Jamie Stevens provided a slice of sonic magic in mid-2022 with his “Circles” EP. Now revisiting the 3-track offering, a trio of remixes come from high-profile artists across three continents.

Hernan Cattaneo & Marcelo Vasami need little introduction to anyone with a passion for underground house. The Argentinean, a household name, regularly plays to audiences in the tens of thousands across South America and beyond, while his Sudbeat Music imprint is at the forefront of the electronic music scene. Widely known as “El Maestro”, Hernan’s reputation is assured. Similarly, Marcelo Vasami has been a renowned figure for over a decade with his music on the likes of Plattenbank, Afterglow, Replug and Sudbeat. Joining forces for their Meanwhile debut, the Hernan Cattaneo & Marcelo Vasami remix of “Stuck on a Feeling” immediately captures the light melodic eloquence of the original while adding a plethora of new production layers, not least in a sublime new bassline progression and crisp rolling percussive groove. Familiar refrains and the vocal so prominent in the original, come to the fore as textured and ethereal pads provide an enchanted moment in the final movement.

A growing force under his progressive house guise with releases on Lost & Found, Sudbeat Music and Mango Alley, Mike Rish has hit upon a formula for success since early work for UGENIUS. December 2021 provided the Melbourne resident with the opportunity to make his Mark on GMJ & Matter’s imprint as he released his impressive musical triptych, “Beyond”. Now returning for a debut remix, the Mike Rish reworking of “Storm Front” is characterised by a deep and chunky bass groove that sits perfectly within a popping, wood-block top-line with its roots firmly in Jamie Stevens’ original. Evolving with ease, smooth production elements from the Mike Rish studio make their presence felt before a richly sustained bassline assumes a prominent role in the second half to superb effect.

Navar has been at the forefront of the underground dance scene for more than 15 years with his imaginative approach and immaculately honed sound. 200 production credits are testament to that fact, for such esteemed imprints as Balance, microCastle and Guy J’s Lost & Found. November 2022’s “Return of the Sun” illuminated Meanwhile in late 2022 as the Dutch star returns for a second remix outing. Reworking the title track, the Navar interpretation is a sparkling jewel that transforms “Circles” into a glorious, arpeggio-laden offering that shimmers with delays and delicate rhythmic cadence in the early stages. Building imperceptibly with bass groove and vocal breaths from the original, it erupts at the mid-point with a driving beat that provides a spine-tingling dancefloor juxtaposition to the smooth melodic sequences, capturing the hypnotic character of Jamie’s work.

Three new remixes see Hernan Cattaneo & Marcelo Vasami, Mike Rish and Navar create another set of magic “Circles” for Jamie Stevens.

Release Info: 
Ever-evolving, the creative hub that is Melorama ventures deeper into its multiversal storyline with its third installment, Ezequiel Arias' 'Melomania / Polvo de Estrellas'. Poised for a standout year, the Argentine artist delivers a blistering two-track EP that has been forged in absolute patience by the sands of time.

Imperious, 'Melomania' thrusts us into a perpetual motion cycle with its restless bassline and rock-solid percussive motifs as delightful melodic bursts traverse right through its frame, lighting up like combusting stars as Ezequiel blazes up across some intergalactic highway, somewhere in space. Holding us close in a warm embrace come breakdown, the Argentine creator opens the casements, allowing us to bask in the unique marvels that swirl in a carefree manner around us before a blinding flare propels us deeper into the vast, uncharted corners of the universe. Beyond genres, 'Melomania' showcases once again the constant evolution of an artist that continuously moves through emotions with unrivaled flair.

In the same vein, 'Polvo de Estrellas' is an electrifying ride that expertly balances unbridled vigor with a profound sense of timing. Here, synthetic swells lend a colorful hue to an infectious bassline that twists and turns with pure finesse as it races through a myriad of neon blips and melodic lasers that decorate the environment around us. Following a showstopping break, 'Polvo de Estrellas' resumes with unadulterated, high-octane resolve that is bound to keep clubs swinging with its state-of-the-art effects and shimmering storyline.

A symbol of an artist in his prime, 'Melomania / Polvo de Estrellas' is bound to become one of the cornerstones in a discography that is in perpetual expansion as Ezequiel blurs the boundaries in search of something that has never been seen before.

Making a welcome return to the label he co-founded in mid-2021 with fellow countryman, GMJ, Matter once again showcases his exceptional production skills on Meanwhile Horizons, this time in the shape of the 3-track, “Waratah / Living Dream / All Knowing”. 

After debuting on the label’s inaugural “Beyond the Horizon” release in August 2021, Matty Doyle took his Matter production moniker to new heights with the scintillating “Starchild” album. Released in November that year, the 10-track magnum opus perfectly illustrated the Melbourne star’s production wizardry with an immaculate blend of rolling grooves, cavernous basslines and floating melodies. Responsible for over 30 production credits on the flagship Meanwhile imprint in solo and collaborative guises, the most recent have come in January 2022’s “Banksia” and September’s remix of Alex O’Rion’s “Echium” with GMJ. 

“Waratah” thus retains all the trademark production knowhow built up over a decade at the vanguard of the progressive house scene. Characterised by a skipping rolling groove, a huge pulsating bassline powers across the low-end while a smooth lead-line coruscates above with carefree abandon. Delicately cadenced chords and rich pads add to the soundscape, revealed fully at the breakdown, while a second half combination of groove and melody creates a sublime denouement. 

Replete in complex and intricately programmed percussive flare, the feelgood, “Living Dream” is propelled forward with deep kick and catchy muted motif. Vocal-infused pads whisper gently while an upward arpeggio adds additional character and sonic flare as the track reaches its captivating zenith. 

The final offering sees the melancholy overtones of “All Knowing” ripple across a hypnotic rhythmic backdrop. Ticking hats and fizzing shakers keep dancefloor energy high while a panoply of complementary melodies and phrases fire off each other, culminating in a filtered analogue sequence at the mid-point. Building once more in the second half the phrase comes to the fore once again, surrounded by the head-shaking groove and subtle melodic arrangement. 

Crafting a beautiful sonic novella via “Waratah / Living Dream / All Knowing”, Matter demonstrates an abundance of creative talent.
