CATALOG MW025

After an incredible year from which Meanwhile continued to release a panoply of stellar music, GMJ and Matter's imprint begins 2022 in scintillating fashion. Now, with a quarter century of releases under its belt, Matter returns to the label with his second original EP in the shape of the 3-track, "Banksia".

After an incredible 2021, culminating with the November release of his debut "Starchild" album on Meanwhile Horizons, numerous collaborations with production partner in crime, GMJ, and over 1 million Spotify streams, the Melbourne based DJ and producer begins the year with a musical vignette of the highest quality.

Opening proceedings, the title track is a glorious piece of trademark progressive house from the Matter production studio. As mesmerising as it is powerful, an immaculately syncopated percussive and melodic groove combine in joyous harmony as a repeated motif waxes and wanes with filtered ease, backed by thumping beat and rumbling bassline. Huge white-noise swells herald new sonic phases as "Banksia" builds to a powerful crescendo post-breakdown in a spine-tingling second half.

Continuing the deep rolling groove of its predecessor, a seismic kick and head-shaking bass pattern form the foundations for "Burnout". A trademark swathe of filtered synth motifs soon come to the fore amongst waves of gently pulsing white-noise risers, before an Underworld-esque breakdown of bassline prowess and hands-in-the-air synths explode into a third movement. Containing all the characteristics for a club-friendly stormer, "Burnout" is sure to fill festival floors over the antipodean summer.

The third track sees "Magic Rooms" complete the triptych with its shimmering arp and swung hi-hats. Working together in perfect synchronicity, a bassline sequence adds subtle urgency and low-end power before an evolving suite of synth elements combines in a magical symphony of sound that rises and falls in counterpoint glory. A characteristic bevy of reverb-soaked white-noise effects add to the sonic dynamism as the track opens up post-breakdown into a stunning arrangement of production know-how and sonic mastery.

A career that continues to blossom with each successive release, "Banksia" finds Matter coming into bloom once again with an iridescent pattern of musical verve.

Bensus7 - Honey Gloom

Following the hugely successful release of 'Waiting For The Sun' earlier this year, it's now time for the official remixes.

Paul Hazendonk has invited two industry veterans to join his Manual Music label for the very first time, reworking his collaborative effort with Mira Nait and Riigs. Both Lexicon Avenue and Ozgur Can need little to no introduction as they bring to the table a joined experience of 50+ years. Their takes on 'Waiting For The Sun' are both totally different but equally mindblowing whereas Lexicon Avenue drops an uplifting dance floor pleaser with chords what will stick in your head no matter what, whilst Ozgur Can dives deep into the world of electronica and IDM resulting in a dark and heady remix.

Two worthy remixes for one of Manual Music's biggest releases of 2024 thus far.

Premiere: Savvas - Adrift (Kimball Collins & Rudiment Remix) [Where The Heart Is]

Chris Cargo from Belfast (United Kingdom) is up next. Well known for his earlier work on Renaissance, Choo Choo Records & Method Records, music that had set a path for the current movement of melodic progressive house, Chris is back in action after nearly a decade of silence. Without wasting any time, he managed to get on Bonzai Progressive, Lowbit, Sprout, Soundteller & Clinique with some stellar releases. For Juicebox Music, he’s brought in a gem in the form of “Crystal”. A chunky & bouncy bassline sits along with the percussion-filled groove to carry the weight as shots of a crescendo melody get fired around. Pads slowly creep up in the background & a subtle riff joins in as they all converge in the end.

*We have currently paused operations due to limited capacity*

Founded originally as a boutique electronic music blog in 2012 in India, now crossing borders in Berlin, Getting Deeper has organically grown and consistently delivered authentic music with genres such as deep house, deep tech, minimal, IDM, downtempo, trip-hop and techno.

Lush vibes, melodic intricacies and sublime mindstates are places we constantly strive to reach through the music we publish. We also like to encourage escapism, philosophical meanderings and sometimes indulging in the dark side of things. In simple words, we like to get deep.
