A regular contributor to the finest dance music imprints of the underground scene, Simos Tagias makes a welcome debut on Meanwhile with his 'Euphoria' EP.

Bursting onto the scene in late 2012 and early 2013 with a clutch of releases on Modu and Lynx Records, Simos Tagias has overseen a career path with a steady upwards trajectory that has since seen some 400 production credits to his name. Indeed, Clubsonica Records, Mango Alley and Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music have all played regular host to the Greek artist’s work, not to mention successful releases on Cid Inc.’s Replug and Aly & Fila’s hugely successful FSOE.

Now opening his account on GMJ & Matter’s ever-growing Meanwhile, 'Euphoria' immediately impresses as a collage of elements fly across the sonic spectrum while a clicking ambient effect and grooved percussion provide dance floor character. Building in effervescent fashion, reversed synth motifs vie with delicately delayed phrases as a plethora of spot effects swim enticingly around the listener’s head. Winding up after a dizzying breakdown, the third movement carefully combines all the elements introduced in the earlier stages through a mind-melting melange of frequencies that pitches and falls in an innovative wall of sound Phil Spector would be proud of.

'Emotion' is a high-octane offering powering forward with chest-thumping kick and immaculately syncopated percussive groove. White noise infused synth motifs soon fill the sonic spectrum as a rapid-fire 16th note bassline carries the melodic elements with ease. Full of emotion and beautifully flowing synth lines, the track reaches its musical zenith at the breakdown before hitting its stride in the second half where all elements converge in lay lines of raw power and emotion.

Release info:
"  An artist with a growing reputation within the underground dance fraternity, Sebastian Sellares makes his Meanwhile debut with his "Dunes at Dawn" EP.

After a 2018 debut for PHW Elements, Sebastian Sellares has made increasingly sizeable waves with his smooth and unique musical style. Already seeing his music signed to an array of high-profile imprints including onedotsixtwo, UV and Or Two Strangers, Proton Music's "Zen State / Jinsei" was a further notable highlight in October 2020 including remixes from Matias Chilano and Bedrock's Nick Muir.

The title-track opener is a gloriously atmospheric offering that builds gently over a rhythmic foundation of rolling top-line groove and pounding beat. Filtered pads soon enter the fray followed by atmospheric birdsong effects and rippling arpeggiated synth line that resonate with the "Dunes at Dawn" title. Rising to a spine-tingling zenith at the mid-point alongside deep, captivating bassline, the second half continues the rich melodic collage creating a sumptuous start to the EP.

Continuing the powerful rhythmic basis of the opener, "The Stars Above" scintillates with its chugging rhythmic vibe and syncopated bassline pattern. Evolving through subtle percussive urgency, dreamlike pads float across the mid-range beside steam-powered white noise waves, before intricately programmed synth plucks complete the foundations. Before long, undulating arpeggios glitter in delayed patterns as counterpoint phrasing adds emotion and guile to create a contemplative offering.

"Nocturne" completes the musical triptych, revelling in a subtle melodic hypnotism that blends acid-tinged loop with flowing analogue motifs. Panning the stereo spectrum with plucked phrases, a magnificent combination of counterpoint melodies rise and fall across a nine-minute magnum opus that results in another string to Sellares' increasingly powerful bow. 

Three new tracks from Sebastian Sellares illustrate a sparkling display of sonic brilliance through the "Dunes at Dawn"."

8 Bit Era

8 Bit Era (Nick Warren & Nicolas Rada Extended Remix)

Rising out of Argentina's progressive house underground is Guille Cornejo aka Antrim. Long a favourite of the genre's premiere tastemakers in Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, the Cordoba resident also lays claim to releases on Sudbeat Music, Hope Recordings and his own Or Two Strangers imprint. With a sound that stretches from the deeper, dreamy spectrums of house, to the tastefully melodic confines of contemporary progressive, Antrim now makes his Replug Records debut with 'Trip To Red' alongside a remix from Orsen. 

In an odyssey that spans ten plus minutes, Antrim commences the journey with warm, punchy beats, electric rhythms and metallic hits. The introduction of a pulsating groove heightens the senses as fuzzy designs and elegant harmonies descend over the framework. Emotive chord changes further the narrative, building anticipation with each successive loop and perfectly setting the stage for a memorable lead. Euphoric yet charming, it's a cascading theme for the ages, almost surreal in nature it's youthful energy gets lost in a wash of colourful harmonics, before one final break resets the groove for a percussive finale.
 
Amidst progressive music's elite guard lies Replug's Orsen. Alongside Cid Inc, the UK born, Austria based producer not only owns and manages the label but is an artist of substantial merit. Regarded as one of the genre's choosiest producer's, Orsen's discography is both astute and enduring, showcasing releases on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music and US conglomerate Proton Music. Ending 2018 with a stunning rendition of Dmitry Molosh's 'Sacra', Orsen now presents his first production of the year with an inspired take on 'Trip To Red'. Always a creative remixer, Orsen deconstructs the main elements into newfound themes for what sits as an ideal complement to the original. Atop a warm, full bodied groove comes effervescent phrasing and buoyant arpeggios. It's a remarkable sonic marriage and one which makes for an energetic yet meditative journey, elegantly peaking through sizzling modulation across two breaks, before an exhilarating final act puts a cap on this creative gem. 
 
With 'Trip To Red' Antrim continues to build on what has been a breakout year for the Argentine, one which continues a course of artistic growth while adding nicely to an already impressive body of work.

- 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.

- GMJ & Matter - 
Melbourne’s GMJ (Gavin Martin) and Matter (Matty Doyle) joined forces in late 2015, a triggered recognition and magnetism for their shared perspectives and love for deep atmospheric music leading to the formation of the GMJ & Matter collaboration. With an acclaimed 'Superposition' EP for Proton followed by Osmosis / 11 Moons & Interscrope EPs in 2018, the two have produced remixes for Pete K, Andre Sobota, Juan Deminicis, Nopi, Donny Carr, DJ San & Rudy UK, & fellow Aussies Funkform, Pantheon and David Leckenby. 

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.

2020 has seen the conception and constant growth of the pairs Meanwhile Recordings imprint, which has opened to high regard throughout the industry, both as a platform for their own signature sounds, and as a home to some of the world’s finest. With many great releases on the horizon, Meanwhile is already on the way to establishing itself as a premier force in the world of global deep progressive house.
