Berlin-based storyteller Powel has spoiled us.

He delivers four completely unique records, each knocking through the speakers with fierce percussion, and melodies that glide and fly, carrying the listener off to somewhere else. On each cut, he exhibits his mastery of joyful keys and exquisite drum programming, never missing the opportunity to craft delicious, exciting grooves that are sure to ring out around clubs worldwide.

The title track, Rad, shares the same name as the 1986 film, which inspired the EP, and it takes us on a progressive journey, with beautiful synth pads and subtle vocal manipulations layered over a strong, knocking drum beat that builds in intensity as the track progresses.

Not content with stopping there, Powel cuts in and out with stunning synth lines and a snare drum that instantly makes your head bounce — a statement of intent for the quality of music that is to follow on this EP.

The project's second song, Out Of Fashion, instantly catches the listener's attention with a stiff, marching beat, eerie stabs and a manipulated vocal sample that swings around the drums. But quickly, the vocoder melts into a gorgeous, pulsating synth line that is urgently propelled along by the percussion towards its crescendo.

Then we're transported deep into Powel's mind for the third cut, where he treats us to a gorgeous slice of melodic goodness on Wine & Cigarettes. It is good-natured and has an old-school groove that grips you and promises to never let go.

And suddenly, just like that, we reach Ode To A Carrot, which takes the form of a euphoric dream, set in a warehouse party in the 90s. Powel serves us a fat, squelchy bassline that is unlike anything else we have heard from him before.

Meshed with wavy pads and a pounding kick drum to create a funky dancefloor anthem, this acts as the perfect closer for a body of work that speaks volumes about a producer who seems incapable of producing mediocre music.

As if that wasn't already enough, the EP is complete with a remix package featuring Haider Uppal and Timo Chinala, Mark Slee, Lauren Ritter, and Brigade. Again, each remix takes the original track in a completely unexpected direction, delighting the listener and highlighting every moment of joy from Powel's original creations.

'The Happy Camper parents Unders, Britta Arnold and Noraj Cue translate intimacy, community, good vibes, liberty and love into musical bliss. Their medium to enlighten and brighten our currently pandemic dominated world. Together, they share their story, so roll out your carpet, expose your soul, and embark on our Happy Camper journey!

Mekong is a energetic tribalistic heater that is bossy from the start. Subtle driven stabs create a melody suitable for any dance floor. With enough tech to keep it groovin’, Los Cabra sustains a continuous build and release. All derived from layers of elements which, without a doubt, will attract your attention and make it easy to dance till the very end.

Our very own Noraj Cue brings a remix that is compelling, seductive, yet still raw at the same time. The right balance of build and progression keeps your head and body in motion. Seasoned with sounds from the original in combination with some timed randomness will maintain a steady development throughout. We always love Jaron's touch.

Futaleufu, a Mapudungun word meaning ‘Big River,’ starts with a driving kick that channels into a dark, rolling bassline. Elements of techno, and tribal percussion paves the way to this stream of mysteriousness and hypnotic spirit. This is what we’ve been waiting for. Give in.

And to top of the ep, Britta’s remix is a deep fusion of techno and grindy house with a sprinkle of acid. Her intricate layers of drum elements play perfectly off each other to provide an ‘elefante’ und elegante taste of minimal tech, that signature sound you and I so dearly love to hear from this Katerblau resident. Meoooow!

We give a warm welcome to Los Cabra joining our family!'

After remixing GMJ & Matter’s “Lost on Origin” in late 2020, Imran Khan returned to Meanwhile with a full EP debut in February 2021. Returning to the stellar release, two new remixes come from Argentinean and Greek stars.

A legendary figure in the underground house fraternity, Juan Deminicis has consistently been at the cutting edge of the movement with a distinctive and innovative sound that has seen him grace such iconic imprints as Pablo Bolivar’s Seven Villas, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Guy J’s Lost & Found. Now making his Meanwhile debut, the Juan Deminicis remix of “Horizonz” is a compelling rework that dazzles with trademark rhythmic flair and sumptuous melodic arrangement. Layers of sound cascade over each other in intelligent fashion as the cadence of the original is enhanced with a dynamic vibrancy from sparkling hi-hats. Sumptuous pads and reverb-coated synth lines ripple across proceedings with ease as the subtle motifs of Khan’s work are complemented further by Deminicis’ stunning artistry.

Another iconic figure to feature heavily within the progressive house movement, Simos Tagias has been a watchword for high-quality production work that has been at the heart of a plethora of blue-chip labels after early work for Lynx Records in late 2012. Since then, some 400 production credits have featured heavily for the likes of Roger Martinez’s Higher States, Aly & Fila’s FSOE and the evergreen Proton Music. March 2021’s “Euphoria / Emotion” EP showcased the Greek producer’s talents on Meanwhile as he now returns with a blistering reworking of “Horizonz” that carries all the hallmarks of an artist at the height of his powers. Pitched arpeggios rise and fall with ease as subtle melodic layers criss-cross in imperceptible patterns, creating new harmonies and pulsating waves of sound. Reaching a rousing crescendo, a hypnotic new motif appears in the second half to mesmeric effect as Tagias extends Imran Khan’s work into a stunning new direction.

Looking out over new “Horizonz”, Juan Deminicis and Simos Tagias create a bright new dawn for Imran Khan.

Imra Khan - Horizonz (Juan Deminicis Remix)

Clubsonica Records opens the fall season by welcoming Golan Zocher back to the label for a new single. The Colombian born, Israel based artist makes progressive music that breaks boundaries, moves feet and twists minds. Since making his label debut in 2017, Golan has found a comfortable home on Clubsonica, releasing two remixes and a single across two calendar years. Also finding a home on Beatfreak, Or Two Strangers and Proton Music, Golan now lands back on Clubsonica with a new single entitled Ready to Fly', alongside remixes from Navar and Stereo Underground.

Beginning with the original mix, it is Golan's masterstroke to collaborate and introduce the sublime vocals of Rona. Hailing from Israel and an artist of profound talent, she injects the piece with authentic soul and emotion, as Golan's warm grooves and impassioned musicality provide the perfect dance floor vehicle. Rona's breathy wails come in waves, effortlessly drifting through a forest of detailed percussion and tranquil tonal themes, before reaching a serene and spiritually uplifting apex across the second of two breaks and a powerful finale.

Making his label debut and providing the first interpretation of Ready to Fly' is Navar. As one of the underground's most creative talents the Dutch artist has shaped a sound all his own. His emotive musicality and organic design have led to signings on Guy J's Lost and Found Records, Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, Nick Warren's Hope Recordings and Cid Inc's Replug Records. Now fresh off his Land of Caya' EP for Belgium's EDGE, Navar makes his Clubsonica debut with an inspired rendition of Ready to Fly'. Spanning ten magical minutes, Navar's consciousness-expanding conversion of musical ideas resonates on a profound level, as he effortlessly melds rugged dance floor minded grooves with fiery percussion and otherworldly effects. Reprocessed for aural enlightenment, Rona's vocals drift across the rumbling framework, weaving their way through an unpredictable array of atmospheric swells and melodic fragments before an expansive break spearheads an enlightening apex and intergalactic finale.

The release concludes with Stereo Underground also making his label debut and providing the final interpretation of Ready to Fly'. Famed for releases on Balance Music, Beat Boutique, Lost and Found, Sudbeat and UV, the Israeli artist sits firmly in progressive music's elite class of producers. Also, a favourite of the genre's premiere tastemakers, Stereo Underground has a long list of supporters, including Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Guy J and John OO Fleming. Now in a year that has seen the Tel Aviv resident release just one remix he makes his Clubsonica debut with a stylish rendition of Ready to Fly'. Carried by an indie inspired framework, Stereo Underground juxtaposes Rona's spirited wails over broken beats, striking stabs and hopeful atmospherics. Coming to full fruition across a two-minute break, the vocal narrative continues to expand, working in perfect unison with meditative melodies and rising modulation, eventually reaching a tasteful crescendo as the groove drops for a thumping conclusion. Also included for the less vocally inclined is an instrumental version which adds further depth and variety to the release. It rounds out a welcome return to Clubsonica for Golan Zocher, who continues to be one of progressive music's most beloved and sought-after artists.
