A long-time friend of Meanwhile and regular contributor to GMJ & Matter’s label, Simos Tagias returns once more with the twin-track “Archaios / Geometric”.

With over 400 production credits to his name for some of the finest modern imprints, Simos Tagias has regularly found an outlet for his distinctive brand of progressive house through the likes of Sudbeat Music, Mango Alley and Proton Music. Making a sizeable impression with his debut outing on Meanwhile, the sonic diptych that constituted “Euphoria / Emotion” in March 2021 showcased an immaculate sonic collage that shimmered and glistened with melodic beauty. Remixes from Paul Deep and GMJ & Matter followed in April 2022, while Simos also found himself back on the Meanwhile catalogue with remixes of Imran Khan and Alex O’Rion in late 2021 and early 2022.

Opening his latest original EP, “Archaios” is driven by a powerful rhythmic bedrock that generates club-friendly groove and bassline prowess before shape-shifting pads drift across the mid-range. Subtle motifs gradually enter the fray, exposed fully in the intoxicating breakdown where white-noise risers and open filters provide an epic crescendo. Hitting its straps in the second half, fully evolved melodic sequences jockey for prominence alongside textured chord sequences and driving percussive force. The result is the perfect illustration of modern and emotive progressive house.

A whip-cracking kick and chunky top-line groove anchor “Geometric”, while a pitched synth effect immediately piques interest. Dropping easily into its second movement, bassline and rhythm supply the perfect backdrop for a plucked motif to hypnotise with its delicately evolving character, while a heavily side-chained pad pulsates in cadenced waves and adding to expansive sonic landscape. Pausing for breath at a beatless breakdown, the track effortlessly drops back into its mesmerising combination of revolving motif and heavy rhythm as effects and pads generate an almost transcendental state of bliss as “Geometric” plays out.

With consummate ease, Simos Tagias sculpts a new sonic masterpiece in “Archaios / Geometric”.

'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.

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.

Beloved for their combination of groove and melody, NuFects return to Clubsonica for their much-anticipated debut EP. Conceptualized in 2013, Colombian artists Alejo Cortes and Carlos Lopez aka NuFects decided to undertake a project full of energy, joy, colour and intrigue. They started producing progressive and organic house under the name NuFects, quickly earning recognition from Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Cid Inc, along with very important local talents Dabeat, Gux Jimenez and Kamilo Sanclemente. Also finding a place in the more melodic uptempo realms of the genre, legends Paul Oakenfold and Solarstone became NuFects supporters, playlisting their music and making the duo a legit crossover act. Nufects now makes a welcome return to the label for their debut EP 'Wild | Sordina', alongside remixes from Juan Deminicis and Sebastian Sellares. 

Destined to be a highlight in Nufects discography, it is the melodic stylings of 'Wild' which get the release underway. Electrically charged from the outset, its rolling rhythmic structures, striking electronics and character rich groove set the piece on a course for aural enlightenment. Euphoric chord stabs and haunting atmospheres rise across the first act, carrying momentum and mood into the main break. Acid-like lines delight across the centrepiece, eventually melting down to the duo's symphonic motifs, as flurries of drums and rising sonics unite for a tasteful crescendo and cosmic finale. The companion piece finds NuFects collaborating with fellow countryman Jab Vix. Together the trio masterfully synthesize their talents into one singular progressive vision that is 'Sordina'. Continuing the groove-centric vibes of its predecessor, the trio let's lush vocal elements and reflective chord stabs descend over perfectly carved basslines and flashing percussive arrangements for the ultimate mid-set style groover. 

Providing the interpretation of 'Wild' is Juan Deminicis. As a favourite of progressive music's top tastemakers in Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Guy J, the Argentinean artist has released on some of the genre's finest imprints over the course of his now fifteen year career. Hoomidas, Lost and Found, Replug, Souksonic and Sudbeat Music have all been regular landing spots for the talented Buenos Aires resident. With three remixes for the label across the last five calendar years, Juan makes a welcome return to Clubsonica, taking 'Wild' into deeper territory. Rather than burst into a dancefloor whirlwind or electronic symphony, Juan's interpretation evokes its emotions through slow burn repetition, dodging expectations and emphasizing its conceptual charm, painting idyllic scenes of solitude, as hypnagogic motifs unveil a semi-conscious dreamland, before the Argentine's progressive attitude reveals itself during a second act of driving grooves, haunting atmospheres and cosmic effects. 

Providing the interpretation of 'Sordina' is Sebastian Sellares. UK behemoth Anjunadeep, Antrim's Or Two Strangers, Cid Inc's Replug Records and GMJ and Matter's Meanwhile have all served as landing spots for the Argentine's beloved sound, while world class DJs Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Guy J have been steadfast supporters along the way. Sebastian now makes his Clubsonica debut with a gorgeous take on 'Sordina'. While maintaining the elusive spirit of the original, the Argentinean artist crafts a sweeping sonic experience all his own, a spirited journey into an atmospheric hinterland, where rolling basslines and emotive melodies surface from their progressive architecture, onwards to a finale of chugging grooves and hopeful overlays. A heartfelt interpretation from Sebastian, which rounds out a must have EP from NuFects, an artist duo who continues to impress and emerge from Colombia's electronic music landscape.

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.
