A stellar career within the electronic music industry has seen Jamie Stevens rise to the very top of his profession. Making his full Meanwhile EP debut, the 3-track “Circles” continues his illustrious story.

A double ARIA winning artist with iconic live act, Infusion, Jamie Stevens’ solo career is no less impressive. A veteran of the global DJ circuit with performances at Womb (Tokyo), Fabric (London) and across his native Australia and Melbourne hometown, Stevens has continued to see productions feature regularly in the upper echelons of the progressive house chart.

With almost 400 production credits to his name, Dave Seaman’s Selador, John Digweed’s Bedrock and Guy J’s Lost & Found have all played host to the unique Jamie Stevens sound on multiple occasions as he continues to go from strength to strength. A meticulous approach to his production work and unrivalled attention to detail is coupled with a wider ability to see the bigger musical picture and his music infused with warm tonality and rich rhythmic patterns.

Returning to Meanwhile after a remix of Roger Martinez’s “Cosmic Drum” in late 2020, the “Circles” title track is characterised by a pounding club-friendly beat, while shades of Giorgio Moroder shimmer through the percussive groove and syncopated melodic elements. Building in hypnotic patterns, vocal shouts and a liberal sprinkling of reverse reverb effects and white-noise washes, join forces in a glorious harmony to create a typically impressive body-shaking floor-filler.

The aptly titled “Storm Front” quickly emerges with a subtle tension imbued within it. Continuing on the same mesmerising footing as its predecessor, an immaculately crafted groove, redolent in sub-bass and off-beat percussive roll, powers through the 8-minute timeframe. Subtly synthesised and reverb drenched vocal cuts shimmer across the upper-range throughout, making their presence fully felt at the breakdown before the driving elemental force of the central groove drops back into place through the seething third movement.

The final musical image of the sonic triptych has a softer musical vibe brought about by a swathe of complementary harmonic phrases. A beautiful central motif marries elegantly with a smooth vocoded vocal that gently sings the “Stuck on a Feeling” title. Rising and falling with ease Stevens evokes a warm summer evening vibe with his beautiful arrangement. Where the opening pair of tracks hypnotized through powerful rhythmic structures, the final track oozes spellbinding warmth with its glittering array of analogue synth phrasing.

Three “Circles” find Jamie Stevens drawing a vivid sonic picture that elegantly shows the logical relation between rhythm, melody and energy in a precise musical Venn diagram.

This is my tribute to Mindaugas Spakauskas, also known as Minnado, in celebration of his debut on Amulanga Records with his EP "Miela" (which means "cute" in Lithuanian, his native language). Based in London.

I have been captivated by his chill style, characterized by melodic, peaceful piano chords, soothing vocals, and delicate basslines. Perfect for unwinding after a long day. 

It's an honor to see him make an impactful debut on Amulanga, and I've included all four tracks from the "Miela" EP in this mix. I hope you find as much enjoyment in listening as I did in creating it. 

(Note: "Miela" EP will be released on January 27th and is available for pre-order on Beatport).

IN MUSIC WE TRUST.

DEEPDOWN SESSION 6 | Emko Blues

We’re returning from a long holiday weekend by turning back to our roots with Elliot Moriarty, who delivers a thirty-ninth Moonlight Mixtape that’s a heady hour of lush organic house landscapes perfect for getting in touch with your creative flow.

Hailing from the UK and busy pushing boundaries with his sound and style in clubs around the world, Moriarty’s talent for the craft haas earned him releases on labels like When We Dip, The Soundgarden, Songuara, and Where The Shadow Ends, to name a few. This week, he starts out deep and dark, with shadows of the ethereal and the melancholy woven between pounding kicks and booming bass lines. His track list is stacked with dynamic energy, matching his reputation as an adept selector. Look out for a stunning cinematic buildup that breaks into elation before diving into a smooth melodic groove that’s made for movement.

We were pleased as punch when this mix arrived, and we’re even more so to share it with you.
