Ending the year on a high having witnessed a plethora of musical highlights, Meanwhile has been a shining beacon for progressive house throughout 2021. Now, Australian, Mike Rish, becomes the latest debutant to showcase his talents on GMJ & Matter’s blossoming imprint with the 3-track “Beyond” EP.

From his home on Australia’s south-eastern coast, Mike Rish has witnessed an impressive rise to notoriety, courtesy of a clutch of high-profile releases on an exclusive set of blue-chip labels. Not wanting to flood the progressive house scene with a swathe of formulaic dance music, the Melbourne resident’s “selective output” is based on a carefully thought-out commitment to “keep people engaged, but also wanting more”. Thus, Rish’s work for the likes of Colorize, Serendeep and Juicebox Music, has seen the Australian carve out a sizeable niche for himself, further enhanced by March 2021’s 12-track “Interlinked” album for UGENIUS Music.

Opening his Meanwhile account with the “Beyond” title track, a chunky beat and cavernous bass groove sit tightly against off-beat hats and snare. Filtering into sonic range, an elegant arpeggio provides glorious melodic interplay as white-noise washes and meandering pads pulse gently across the near 10-minute piece. Full of spine-tingling atmosphere, additional melodic phrasing is introduced at the breakdown before extending into the third movement with ease, combined with a raft of effects and masterful touches.

A bouncing bass groove immediately finds “Mindgame” oozing with hypnotic force and low-end menace. Sat perfectly in between deep kick and ticking hats, a flowing melodic line ripples across proceedings as it rises and falls with filtered dynamism. Twisted vocal cuts and acetylene-edged synth effects pitch with glissando range adding to the aural collage in a track full of dark and mesmerising beauty.

Closing the EP, “Here For You” is characterised by an intricate percussive arrangement that introduces a subtle melodic backdrop. Effects and textured pads span the stereo stage in modulated glory as a pulsating lead melody enters the fray in the second movement. Building steadily before revealing itself fully in the stripped back breakdown, the second half blossoms in commanding fashion with a pulsating confluence of rhythm and melody. The result is a track that illustrates Mike Rish’s unique talent and technique.

A musical triptych full of innovation and sonic narrative, Mike Rish has gone above and “Beyond” with a glittering display of production prowess.

Musique de Lune Noire opens 2024's final month by welcoming Brisboys to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Ireland, John Manning aka Brisboys has been a fixture of the progressive house underground for the better part of three decades. As a DJ first, John found his place amongst Northern Ireland's burgeoning nightlife, holding down residences, both radio and club, dating all the way back to the late nineties. After a chance meeting with fellow countryman Ciaran Duffy (RIP) in Australia in 2008, the duo formed the Brisboys alias, going on to release projects for Frequenza, Krafted Digital, One Of A Kind and the infamous Rising High. A four-year hiatus to focus on the Bemannte & Bruder alias shelved the Brisboys moniker until earlier this year, a time when John took the reins in solo capacity and subsequently rebooted his Brisbeats Records imprint to showcase his new solo productions. Now, continuing the Brisboys resurgence, the Irish producer debuts on Musique de Lune's Noire division with 'Sure Thing'.

Beginning with 'No Drama' Brisboys flexes that timeless progressive style for which he has become known. Complete with boundless energy and fluid rhythmic structures, it's an arpeggiated top line which eventually takes centerstage leading into the break. Melting down to a quiet calm, the introduction of a siren-like lead highlights the interlude, eventually anchored by warm key changing bass swells, before smoothly shifting energy into a nostalgic finale.

The companion and title piece 'Sure Thing' provides a deeper more swing heavy approach making is nice complement to the larger sounding 'No Drama'. Basslines sway and percussion flickers against a backdrop of shimmering atmospherics, as timely overlays and quirky stabs add depth and character leading into the break. The dreamy interlude is captivating to say the least, evoking emotion through tasteful modulation, before a wall of drums and percussion paves the way for a warm key changing final act. Already played by Gai Barone and charted by Kiss FM Australia for several weeks, it rounds out an excellent Musique de Lune Noire debut for Brisboys. Highly recommended.
