TR:ST - Destroyer (Issac´s May As May Rework)

RELEASE DATE 2021-11-05
LABEL Meanwhile Horizons
CATALOG MWH003

As Meanwhile Horizons continues to establish itself as a prime vehicle for electronic music and a considered alternative sound, co-founder, Matter, provides a career highlight with his debut full-length album, "Starchild".

In development for over two years, with a stellar cast of powerful and innovative tracks, Matty Doyle continues a journey that has seen him light up the electronic music industry's finest imprints with a distinctive sound via his Matter moniker. A veteran of such esteemed labels as Proton Music, Black Hole and, most recently, on Nick Warren's The Soundgarden with Dutch talent, Alex O'Rion, Matter has consistently served up a plethora of high quality original and remix material in both solo and collaborative guises.

Opening the 10-track magnum opus, the "Starchild" title track is an opulent blend of emotive chord changes and textured soundscapes. A 4/4 kick and hi-hat percussion at the mid-point provide a rhythmic anchor before the club-friendly "Chemical Therapy" warms with its ethereal vocal phrasing and upbeat melodic flow. Originally appearing on Meanwhile Horizons' first release, "Beyond the Horizon", the pulsating "Air Sand" finds its rightful place in the Matter canon as the laid-back rhythmic groove and effected vocal cuts of "So it Goes" maintains a fluid dancefloor character.

Pausing for a moment of serenity, "We Will Fade" reveals a kaleidoscopic array of layered textures that sit beneath a wave of free-flowing guitar sequences, before giving way to the chunky beats and rolling groove of "Lost in Seasons" that are juxtaposed against an evolving and multi-faceted sonic tapestry. "The Search" immediately impresses with it its heavily effected and side-chained phrasing, while a cavernous bassline paves the way for gloriously flowing and floating melodic sequences to reveal themselves in glorious depth at the stripped back breakdown.

The shifting cadenced groove of "Sundial" is the perfect vehicle for sun-kissed synths to wash over the 8-minute piece in blissful waves amidst imperceptible vocal hints. "Lucid Academy" continues Matter's penchant for opulent sonic textures woven in golden threads around a deep kick and offbeat hats; the resultant effect is a glorious sonic melange and diaphanous motifs. The closing track sees the beautifully arranged "Pacha Mama" take centre stage with its outstanding melodic sequencing and sympathetic bassline poise. Counterpoint melodies shine through and the result is a 24-carat reminder why Matter remains at the vanguard of the modern progressive house scene.

Looking upward into distant skies, "Starchild" is a reminder of the incandescent glow with which Matter lights up the dance music universe through a galaxy of musical innovation.

1 - Matter - Starchild

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.

Not much to say about this one other than it's a bit different from my usual stuff, but it was how I was feeling at that moment (in a Housey mood) and surprisingly came together in a matter of hours, hope you like!  💚

Kamilo Sanclemente - Divine Eternity (Original Mix)

Clubsonica Records continues a strong start to the year by welcoming JFR to the label for his debut EP. Juan Franco Rivero aka JFR hails from Mendoza and has been rising out of Argentina's progressive house underground since making his debut in 2017. 2021 proved to be a breakout year for JFR, as the Argentine continued his upward trajectory with standout releases for UK behemoth Anjunadeep, Dreamers and the fast-rising Nature Rec. World class DJ Hernan Cattaneo has also taken a liking to JFR's sound, featuring the Argentine's music in both his live and radio sets on multiple occasions. Now presenting his first EP project of 2022, JFR adds Clubsonica to his resume with 'Kira | Zulu', alongside remixes from djimboh and Deviu.

'Kira' gets the release underway and sits as one of JFR's most emotive productions to date. Warm beats and a buzzing groove set the foundation for a narrative of gentle stabs, rolling rhythms and detailed percussion. Pushing a poignant storyboard, kaleidoscopic arps rise across the first act, flowing through tasteful modulation while impassioned chord charges and symphonic overlays bring depth and colour leading into the main break. Executed to perfection, the interlude builds anticipation through striking chord stabs and siren-like wails, before melting down to a pulsating drop and smooth finale. The companion piece 'Zulu' finds JFR diversifying his portfolio further with a smooth melodic creation. Sleek and positive throughout, the eight-minute journey delights with its whimsical arps and balmy atmospheres. The narrative then shifts with colourful tones highlighting the main break; glowing and effervescent in equal measure, this newfound theme not only demonstrates what a melodic craftsman JFR has become but sets in motion a glowing musical finale.

The lone interpretation of 'Kira' is provided by djimboh. Hailing from the UK, djimboh first came to our attention in 2019 with releases via Freegrant Music, Immersed and Mango Alley. Quickly regarded for a sound that was both groovy and musical, the London resident continued to impress across the next two years, finding favour with a cross-section of the underground's premiere tastemakers, while adding top tier imprints such as Monstercat and TRYBESof to his resume. Now looking to kickstart his 2022 in style, djimboh debuts on Clubsonica with a gorgeous take on 'Kira'. Opting for a deeper approach, the UK artist makes intelligent use of the primary themes, while incorporating his own, uniquely distinctive quirks. Perhaps most impactful however is the main break, which clocks in at an expansive two-minute running time. Here, djimboh allows glowing tones to resonate against a warm, hazy backdrop, casting a spell over the listener, before breaking out into a tastefully restrained final movement.

The release concludes with Deviu providing the lone interpretation of 'Zulu'. Based in Pasto, the Colombian artist began his journey into electronic music production in 2014 under a variety of alias', before eventually settling on Deviu in 2020. Created as an outlet to explore the realms of deep, progressive and organic house, Deviu soon landed releases on Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, Dopamine White and Purified, where his fresh sound immediately found footing. Now continuing his journey with Clubsonica, the Colombian artist dials in an impressive rendition of 'Zulu'. Building elegantly, its glassy arps and fluttery motifs descend over a warm, voluptuous framework, eventually advancing the journey into an emotive break. Stripping right down, the interlude brings further brilliance to the spirit of the track through charming plucks and heartfelt bass swells, before giving way to a colourful crescendo of drums and effects, which initiate a soaring finale. A gorgeous remix from Deviu which rounds out a welcome Clubsonica debut for himself, djimboh and JFR.

Framewerk have been long establishing an eclectic electronic style that defies genres yet maintains a deep distinctive atmosphere throughout all their music. With influences ranging from 70’s prog rock to 80’s electro, the duo both found a home in the UK acid house scene of the late 80’s and later joined together to form the group “Manhattan” during the mid-90’s progressive house era. These decades of dedicated development and unrelenting passion have kept Darren and Alec continuously at the forefront of the underground electronic music scene. Their work today as “Framewerk” showcases their diverse styles and innate abilities to create and share music that represents the best of the golden eras with a fresh, modern sound all their own.
Using their understanding of quality music to run their well-established imprint Capital Heaven, Framewerk continue to influence the industry with their unique perspective.

It's very simple - I love making and listening to new and old musik I loathe long walks on the beach but love sunrises..

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, frustrated, misplaced, silent they're hurt, they're scarred from the past,  issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't conceive. They wish, they dream and they hope - as should we. And right now, they are sitting there reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so YOU don't feel alone anymore. Don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new day. Stop, pause that thought, breathe and focus on today it is ALL we have - moment by moment. If today's ain't so hot - don't worry, it's only temporary. Think of your life as an hourglass. You know there are thousands of grains of sand in the top of the hourglass; and they all pass slowly and evenly through the narrow neck in the middle. Nothing you or I could do would make more than one grain of sand pass through this narrow neck without impairing the hourglass. You and I and everyone else are like this hourglass...if we do not take (tasks) one at a time and let them pass...slowly and evenly, then we are bound to break our own... fragile structure. Tomorrow is a new chance to sing, smile, run, swim, dine or DANCE. So hold on and " SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND(s) " 💎💎

-   Quote from: Human Traffic 
"The weekend has landed. All that exists now is clubs, drugs, pubs and parties. I've got 48 hours off from the world, man. I'm gonna blow steam out my head like a screaming kettle, I'm gonna talk cod shit to strangers all night, I'm gonna lose the plot on the dancefloor. The free radicals inside me are freakin', man! Tonight I'm Jip Travolta, I'm Peter Popper, I'm going to never-never land with my chosen family, man. We're gonna get more spaced out than Neil Armstrong ever did, anything could happen tonight, you know? This could be the best night of my life. I've got 73 quid in my back burner - I'm gonna wax the lot, man! The Milky Bars are on me! Yeah... " 

Peace, Love and Respect - J
