Berlin-based, Dutch-born audiovisual artist Liza Dries presents "Nightcore," a track that resonates as an introvert-millennial anthem. The track's hyper-pop feel is highlighted by the reverb-drenched vocals, beautiful y2k synth melodies and cheeky jungle-esque drum breaks. Inspired by Owl City’s "Fireflies," "Nightcore" awakens the feeling of a late-summer romance. Nightcore tells a fragmented story through quirky observations and self-reflections, questioning the sincerity of love and happiness

Burial - Temple Sleeper (MRD Remix - Rework)

Returning to their April 2020 debut release, Meanwhile head honchos GMJ and Matter rediscover "Lost on Origin" through a trio of new remixes courtesy of Italian and UK artists.

Italian born but firmly ensconced in adopted Argentinean homeland, Andrea Cassino is an iconic figure in the underground dance movement with a glowing career that has seen over a century of credits in solo and collaborative guise for Proton Music, Lowbit and Balkan Connection. Making his Meanwhile debut, Andrea Cassino takes "Microclimate" on a typically impressive journey of driving mesmeric bass groove and syncopated percussion with its roots in the Australian duo's work. Making intelligent use of original components, melodies hypnotise and new production material from the Cassino arsenal drifts across proceedings and into an unencumbered breakdown. Dropping back into the extended groove in the second half after a 'hands in the air' white-noise riser, the Italian has created another club floor-filler.

Continued critical acclaim has seen Imran Khan a consistently impressive artist over the past eighteen months. A rapidly growing portfolio has seen a host of original and remix material signed to the likes of Particles, Stellar Fountain and Proton Music, supported by Dmitry Molosh and Nick Muir among others. Another Meanwhile debutant, the first of two remixes sees Imran Khan's aptly titled "Sunset Mix" deliver a cone-melting bass groove that is the perfect stripped back version of the one created by GMJ and Matter in "Lost on Origin". A heavy beat and whip-cracking percussion add further weight as the multi-layered pads and rich melodic phrasing of the original seeps into Khan's rework. The second "4am Mix" provides a more uptempo vibe with its staccato bassline and head-shaking groove. Once again, the textured pads of the original arrive in vast swathes across the musical landscape as additional production via subtle melodic touches and stereo-panned effects invigorates "Lost on Origin".

Still as hypnotic as it is powerful, "Lost on Origin" continues to find purpose through standout remixes from Andrea Cassino and Imran Khan.

GMJ & Matter - Microclimate (Andrea Cassino Remix)

My first drum was a blue empty water basin that was nearly as big as me. Til this very day I don’t know how I ended up with it at 4 years old but it was destined to be banged on for hours in the bathroom as my mums goes sick at me from the outside. No matter how much noise I made after a while she still let me play. I joined the Bermuda Gombeys around the same time which taught me sonic language, soundscapes, pace/tempo and distinct rhythms native to its homeland. 500 year old dance moves and performance fighting between each Gombey, 7person drum orchestras, high pitched whistles, polyrhythmic riffs and intoxicating claps of rims and sticks. 

'Gombey' comes from an African word meaning 'rhythm. The infectious beat is provided by various percussion instruments, including a snare drum and goatskin bass drum which creates a unique type of percussive singing. On the first track Drum Core the loose and high sounds of a fife adds unexpected melodies as the hard hitting note flurries around you. Aye Gombey! provides a sonic escape to Bermuda's dancehall and reggae culture - chopped and slowed tempos using ship horns, snares and ethnic drums fused with whips and whistles of Gombey Dancing. Enchufada's Rastronaut flips Drum Core with a percussive head-bopping energy layering his unique imprint from the underbelly of Lisboa's electrifying music scene.

Here’s my tribute to the heritage and music which shaped me
