Following the success of August 2021's debut compilation series, and a first volume featuring six original tracks from a stellar cast of international talent, GMJ and Matter now return with a thoroughbred 10-track sequel in "Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2".

Presenting a global dance party with artists from across the continents, from North and South America to Europe, Australasia and Asia, the second instalment of the "Meanwhile Excursions" series combines an array of established talent with up-and-coming nubreed artists who shine a bright light on the progressive house genre.

Opening with the deep bass groove of "Negev", Colombian star, Golan Zocher, and label head-honcho, GMJ, blend their talent with a delicate ambience that shimmers across its 8-minute time fame with textured pads and flowing soundscape. Mango Alley favourite, Forty Cats continues with the smooth sounds of "Mutualism" as hypnotic rhythms and bass groove propel things forwards, while Andrés Moris creates club-friendly force via "Owen's Dream". Full of emotive chords progressions and twinkling arpeggios, a pulsating bassline makes for a beautifully assured debut.

Redolent in intricate percussive groove and juxtaposed with sumptuous synth arrangement, Tonaco's "Setentrional" is a rhythmic tour de force that only pauses for breath at the beatless breakdown, while Dowden's first of two offerings is a typically impressive offering with "Halstatt" glittering via earworm motif that melds with freeform counterpoint sequence as it evolves through a flurry of white-noise fills and mesmerising presence.

A slow-burning jewel that combines strong rhythmic force with running bassline presence, "Retro" finds Ivan Aliaga showcasing an evolving melodic tapestry that waxes and wanes with ease, while "Misanthropy" is another rhythm-fuelled affair that demonstrates why NOIYSE PROJECT is a name currently on the lips of the progressive cognoscenti with his club-friendly groove and ear for melodic emotion. Moving forwards, the low-slung groove of EMPHI's "The Box" helps to generate a brooding wall of sound that builds in tension-filled phases that rise and fall in ever-evolving synth work and stereo-panned white-noise effects.

The second track from Dowden see him join forces with Meanwhile's other co-founder as the immaculate production credentials of Matter see beautiful piano phrases glitter across "York", fully exposed at the mid-point where reverb-drenched and delay-soaked chords vie for space with a dynamic rhythmic backdrop and ticking hi-hat percussion. Ending as it starts, smooth melodic patterns flow from the fingertips of Gorkiz and Distro in cascading layers of dreamy sonic passages that create a coruscating mosaic of sound atop the blistering rhythmic energy of "Staring at the Sun".

A 10-track trip through the sound of modern progressive house, "Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2" is a journey to remember.

Premiere: Ivan Aliaga - Boy Says [UV]

Eleven years have passed since Hernan Cattaneo, in collaboration with Guy Mantzur, released the Delayed Green exclusively on PlattenBank Records. The wait has been worthwhile. Hernan Cattaneo, a revered figure in underground dance music, is known for his sold-out shows, impeccable music selection, and humble, almost spiritual demeanor. Unconcerned with fame, Cattaneo is dedicated solely to sound.
This commitment is evident in his latest release, featuring the title piece Tranquilo, along with remixes by remix competition winners Adrien (AR) and Franco Giannoni. True to its name, the title track exudes a carefree and peaceful vibe, perfect for summer atmospheres. Characterized by a breakbeat rhythm and emotional bliss throughout the arrangement, it culminates in the third act. In contrast, the remixes adopt a classic four-on-the-floor rhythm, each adding unique elements while preserving the essence of the original. This release is not just a celebrated return of Hernan Cattaneo to PlattenBank. It also promotes talented remixers and showcases advanced studio skills. It’s a statement. Get it!

Will DeKeizer, an internationally renowned American producer, delivers his third release on Plattenbank Records, run by Guy Mantzur. This three -track collection spans nearly 25 minutes and captures DeKeizer’s distinctive musical voice.
The journey begins with Sound of Neptune, a smooth and percussive track featuring an 80s disco-inspired bassline. Dark atmospheres blend effortlessly with a sweeping melody, creating an emotional soundscape. Its energy makes it equally suited for dance floors worldwide or reflective listening at home. Though the shortest piece in the collection, it immediately commands attention.
Next comes Rocket Jam, a slow-building composition that extends the momentum of the opener. Melodic from the outset, this track dives deeper into DeKeizer’s creative world. Its versatility ensures it resonates at any time of day, offering DJs a powerful tool for festival dominance while inspiring spontaneous movement in any setting. The collection concludes with Cracked, a bold, energetic track with a futuristic edge. Tribal rhythms and spacey elements intertwine, reflecting DeKeizer’s ability to explore diverse aesthetics. Psychedelic undertones and dynamic crescendos build suspense, rewarding the listener with a rich and immersive payoff. Every moment pushes boundaries, delivering an exhilarating finale.

This release demonstrates Will DeKeizer’s capacity to create layered, compelling music that captivates both club audiences and private listeners alike.
