my groove list

A truly talented artist with huge following and global appeal, Alex O’Rion continues to go from strength to strength within the world of underground dance. With his work spanning some 15 years of commercial releases, the Dutch master is a welcome returnee to Meanwhile with a stellar quartet of original tracks.

A regular across the industry’s finest purveyors of modern and cerebral progressive house music, Alex O’Rion has constantly found his music featured on such esteemed imprints as Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat, Guy J’s Lost & Found and Nick Warren’s Hope. A regular visitor to the upper echelons of the Beatport charts, over a million Spotify streams in 2020 and 4,000 followers points to broad appeal and wide-ranging support.

Now returning to Meanwhile after a trio of remixes for label head-honchos GMJ & Matter on June 2020’s “Gauntlet” and February 2021’s “The Path”, Alex O’Rion now returns to the label with a devastating 4-track original EP of unrivalled quality.

The “Echium” title track is a blistering sub-bass monster that drives along powerfully on a bed of ticking hi-hats and chest-thumping kick. Building in momentum, smooth pads and effortless synth lines flow across the 8-minute piece before revelling in a stripped-back breakdown. Picking up the pace again in the third movement, gorgeous harmonic overtones layer delicately across each other, borne of never-ending delay sweeps.

“Stranded” continues the powerful rhythmic narrative and otherworldly sonic landscape before a percussive loop provides subtle melodic phrasing. Shifting synth sequences bisect the left-right spectrum as waves of white noise fall against a rocky outcrop of percussive hats. Melodic lines continue to evolve in delicate patterns into the second half in a sonic palette of sheer bliss.

A sumptuous bassline groove propels “The Chase” through its hypnotic paces, accompanied by a chugging rhythmic backdrop. Simultaneously, gentle synth motifs pulsate in side-chained synchronicity as a rich symphony of sound swells into the second half against a plucked earworm phrase. The result is a dynamic and devastating club-friendly track that is sure to inspire a multitude of hands-in-the-air moments.

“The Serpent” ends the quadrilogy with its rippling sound effects that cascade in spiral patterns against a melodious foreground. Delicate percussive patterns marry with a deep resonant kick to provide a rhythmic anchor, giving freeform synth motifs the opportunity to express a meandering sonic voyage that reaches a powerful crescendo at the midpoint. Hitting its stride again in the third movement with additional melodic sequencing, the result is a charismatic end to an outstanding original EP."

01. Mike Griego - Dysbiosis (Original Mix)
02. Mike Griego - Waste of Time (Original Mix)

Release Info: 
Continuing their trailblazing ways, Cid Inc's Replug Records closes out the spring season by welcoming Mike Griego back to the label for a new EP.  Coming off the 2019 release of 'Sienna' for Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, the Argentinean artist racked up an impressive 2020. Backed by a remix from Cid Inc, Mike's much hyped 'Solaris' arrived in July via Replug, a track which now sits at the top of his Beatport best seller's chart. Rounding out the year in style, the Buenos Aires resident then debuted on Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, with the tastefully nostalgic 'My Last Hope', a creation which anchored the label's 'Winter Collection' long player. Now presenting his first new music of 2021, Mike lands back on Replug with a two-track showcase entitled 'Dysbiosis'.

Always trending on the stylized spectrum of progressive music, 'Dysbiosis' finds Mike capturing that rare combination of cutting-edge creativity and emotive musicality. Taking square aim at the dance floor are a backbone of charged beats and a wall of shapely, key changing bass.  Fiery percussion and lively rhythms lock down the groove further, as ghostly vocal wails and stunning effects trail across the stereo field. Sitting at the heart of the creation is a two-minute centrepiece, where a percussive blur melts down into an effervescent glow of melody and colour. Reflective in nature, these clustered notes ring out in timeless suspension, tastefully building to a finale that is both electrifying and elegant.

The companion piece 'Waste Of Time'' impresses further with its buoyant energy and vivacious storyboard. Warm, full and incredibly fluid, it's rolling groove and rhythmic pulses are transcendent, building momentum as hazy melodies delight with their fuzzy charm. Expediting the journey are layers of mesmerizing percussion and trailing effects, uniting for a hypnotizing drawl leading into a cosmic break, which ultimately preludes a groovy finish.

Mike Griego's long standing relationship with Replug has produced several of progressive music's most memorable moments. 'Dysbiosis' once again follows suit, landing with impact and emotion, setting the course for one of the summer seasons most in demand releases.

Tracklist:
01. Cid Inc. - Via Karelia (Original Mix)
02. Cid Inc. - Turning Pages (Original Mix)

Release Info: 
Presenting his first project of 2019, Cid Inc. returns to Replug Records with ‘Via Karelia’. 2018 saw the Finnish artist release two of progressive music’s most widely acclaimed and sought after EP’s in ‘Bird Cherry’ and ‘Abyss’. The two track offerings yielded play and support from his most revered contemporaries, namely Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Guy J. Resounding chart success followed, with the title selections respectively reaching #1 and #2 in the Beatport Progressive House Top 100 tracks. Now after months of road testing and refinement, Cid Inc. unveils his much anticipated ‘Via Karelia’ EP to kick off 2019.

With over a decade of production credits under his Cid Inc. moniker, Replug label boss Henri Hurtig has continued to flourish. Sitting in the upper echelon of progressive music’s elite, the Finnish producer continues his story with ‘Via Karelia’. Following a prelude of warm beats, hip swinging percussion and electric stabs, comes redolent rhythms and  juxtaposed motifs. Tastefully timeless and evolving with an energetic flair, it’s a melodic theme which shifts the narrative further into euphoric territory. Free flowing harmonics add depth and emotion, coming to full fruition during the main break and elegantly peaking for a spirited final act. 

Rounding out the release in fine fashion are the dreamy tech-vibes of 'Turning Pages’. Showcasing a similar rhythmic prowess to its predecessor, a tightly knit core and rugged stabs aim squarely for the dance floor, while an airy, atmospheric resonance delivers a subtle yet powerful emotional response. Irresistibly smooth and unquestionably evocative, it’s seductive cadence pushes forward into an exquisite break, blanketed with glowing pads and iridescent phrasing, before ultimately melting down into a chugging finale. 

In a year that has already provided progressive house fans with many memorable moments, Cid Inc. has once again stepped up and delivered what will certainly be one of 2019's most beloved releases in 'Via Karelia'.

Cid Inc. - Via Karelia EP

PREMIERE: Cid Inc. - Via Karelia (Original Mix) [Replug]

Deadmau5 & Kaskade - I Remember (Caspa Remix)

Reinvigorating their collaborative partnership Dmitry Molosh and Michael A return to Cid Inc's Replug Records with 'Integral'. Hailing from Belarus, both Dmitry and Michael sit amongst progressive music's elite guard. Their respective solo productions continue to earn play and support from the genre's premiere tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while also landing them releases on Hope Recordings and Sudbeat Music. Also calling Replug a comfortable home, Dmitry and Michael now return to the label with their first collaborative project in almost four years.

Much loved for their exploration of all things progressive and groovy, the Belarus duo exceeds expectations here, delivering two stunning pieces of music beginning with the title selection 'Integral'. Set in motion by a warm, chunky foundation, its robust core comes up quickly, with layers of finely tuned drums, crunchy rhythms and squelchy synths uniting in a fiery sonic comet. Shifting energy into the main break, heartfelt harmonics and fragmented melodies gently blanket the electric underbelly, resonating on a higher frequency as tasteful modulation rises and the groove drops for a chugging finale.

Operating on a similar sonic plane is the companion piece 'Twelve Days'. Otherworldly in nature, tough beats and dark stabs anchor the journey as the piece flows through a series of pulsating rhythms and mind-bending effects. Continuing on an unpredictable storyboard, ominous overlays and percussive flashes highlight the first act, perfectly setting up an icy break. Adding further intrigue, a wave of tranquil arps provide an effervescent foundation for the duo's dystopian soundscapes, before building to a granular sizzle as a rush of drums ignites a powerful crescendo. It caps off a hugely successful project from two of progressive music's most talented artists, further solidifying Replug's place at the top of this burgeoning genre.

SIMOS TAGIAS The Rise

001 the rise
002 the rise gmj & matter remix
003 the rise EANP remix
004 the rise barbour remix

Greek wisdom ripples across Lake Kerkini to recognise "The Rise" of Simos Tagias. Melodic shards resonate through the cool mountain air and jagged rhythmic backdrop juts out among the rocky outcrop. Brilliant sonic colour emanates from Australian gems as GMJ and Matter return to familiar European waters. A bassline firmly anchored in the bedrock provides a foundation for rippling arpeggios and twinkling keys to reverberate across the valley in endless waves.

Argentina mines another successful partnership in the form of EANP. Soaring skywards, "The Rise" hits new heights where familiar patterns are fused into fresh sonic formations that stretch out in pulsating configurations. A newcomer clicks into gear with popping percussive framework as another alley debutant combines innovation with craftsmanship. Organic sounds are sculpted into imaginative electronic waveforms as new melodic sequences and glissando bassline are bent to impressive Australian will via Barbour.

"The Rise" of sound both silent and high, forged from earth and air.
