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.

John Digweeds Bedrock Records recently celebrated a milestone 100th single release in superb style with two of the best tracks that you could hear this year, from two of the most creative young producers in the electronic dance scene Guy J and Henry Saiz. Now its time to continue the celebrations with two of the best remixes you will hear this year courtesy of the mighty Eric Prydz and one of the hottest rising stars of 2011, Spains Dosem.In this day and age to not only survive as an independent label, but also to flourish and constantly evolve, bringing forward new and exciting talent, is something that should be applauded. A mark of the global respect and love that Bedrock has steadily gained through years of releasing quality dance music that rides the waves of trends and fashions is the fact that the Bed100R remixes have received over 20,000 listens on Soundcloud by word of mouth alone, before they were even officially announced! So, it is hardly surprising that this remix package is currently one of the most highly anticipated releases and quite rightly so, since it features two absolutely stunning reworks of the amazing original tracks.First up, Swedens superstar Eric Prydz under his Pryda guise proves he is worthy of the huge acclaim and respect he receives worldwide as he takes apart and re-designs Guy J and Henry Saizs joyously beautiful Meridian, creating a truly astonishing uplifting, anthemic remix that will surely prove to be one of THE musical highlights of 2011.Catalan producer and DJ Marc Dosem is unquestionably one of the hottest rising stars in the electronic dance scene. His bold debut album, Parallel (Sino), was released to much critical acclaim in the summer of 2011, further cementing growing respect, having already unleashed massive tunes such as Silent Drop and Beach Kisses. Dosems unrivalled ability to harness glistening melodies, taking listeners on a trip through wondrous realms of emotion, makes him the ideal candidate to rework his fellow countrymans extraordinary La Marea and his mind-blowing remix is indeed one of the best you will hear for a long, long time to come.Once again, its hats off the Bedrock for raising the bar even higher with these exceptional remixes, the mark of a truly exceptional independent dance music label.

With their first collaborative project Alex O'Rion and Antrim debut on Roger Martinez's Higher States with 'Imagine'. Hailing from the Netherlands and Argentina respectively, Alex and Antrim have found favour amongst progressive music tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while finding a home on Sudbeat Music, Hope Recordings and Cid inc's Replug Records. Now presenting their first ever joint productions, Alex and Antrim present a two track artist showcase via Roger Martinez's Higher States.

Alex and Antrim show the fruits of two artistic minds coming together on the title cut 'Imagine'. Fluid and inviting, it's well contoured groove is full of character, shape and warmth; while a band of hip-swinging rhythms put your emotional centres on high. Ghostly fragments add an air of anticipation, perfecting setting up a cascading lead theme which effortlessly weaves it's way in and out of the framework. Lying gently below surface, it's emotive charm is hard to resist, juxtaposed against a storyboard of timely effects, before rising to prominence following an expertly executed break.

The companion piece 'Round Trip' follows a similar sonic ethos but with a dubbier quality overall. In crafting a smooth rolling groove, the cross-continental duo have fashioned another powerful foundation, complemented with hypnotic pulses and percussive drive. Ethereal in design and poignant in delivery, harmonic phrases descend over the framework, carrying the piece into a hopeful second act, before getting washed away in a rush of beats and drums for a pulsating finale. It caps off a hugely successful collaborative project from two of progressive music's most beloved talents, making for another outstanding offering from Roger Martinez's Higher States.

- Alex O'Rion -
Alex's Meanwhile remixes of GMJ & Matter’s 'Gauntlet' were a notable highlight alongside a stellar 2020 and now with his inimitable style and flair, his remix of 'The Path' builds on the deep undulating groove of the original while building a new bassline component that bristles with intent, emotion and dancefloor prowess. Using the central arpeggiated motif of the track, richly textured pads provide new melodic direction as white-noise washes crash against the rhythmic bedrock in pulsating waves. The resultant interpretation finds O’Rion at his consummate best with a flawless mix of technique and precision.

Hailing from a long line of talented Dutch producers, Alex O’Rion is one of the brightest stars to recently emerge on Hernan Cattaneo’s SUDBEAT label. He started to experiment with music at 14 yrs old, inspired by Sasha, Nick Warren and John Digweed. Although his first appearance was in the trance scene, Alex soon found out that deep progressive music was his passion.

With 150 releases on beatport on labels such as Sudbeat, Hope, and Cid Inc's Replug, he has seen support from Hernán Cattáneo, Nick Warren, Guy J, Cid Inc, Eelke Kleijn, Guy Mantzur, and Quivver, amongst many others.

2019 saw him playing for Sudbeat’s Showcase in Amsterdam’s Westergasfabriek plus notable appearances at Nature One Festival in Germany, Ministry Of Sound in London and Es Paradis in Ibiza.

2019 raised the bar higher as the duo joined forces with Funkform for a highly anticipated debut EP for the esteemed Balance Music. With supporting gigs for Nick Warren and Dezza + a live performance for Wildwood events, they embarked on their European tour in 2019, with gigs for Progressive Astronaut and Replug Records at ADE.
