Ending the year in style, Meanwhile celebrates its 39th release with label head-honchos, GMJ & Matter showcasing a 3-track epic in “EXT 135 / Elemental / Time to Space”.

Artists who have risen rapidly to secure permanent seats at underground dance’s top table, GMJ & Matter excel within the DJ and production arenas. Responsible for some of the most intelligent and atmospheric progressive house music the industry has seen and an ironclad provenance behind them, the Melbourne based duo have been leading lights in their hometown and beyond for more than 15 years. Hugely respected artists in their own rights with over 500 individual production credits each, a century has come within their collaborative partnership.

As such, original gems have included several original EPs for Proton Music, with additional work finding its way onto the likes of Anjunadeep, onedotsixtwo and Balance Music. However, it is on Meanwhile where the Australian duo have joined forces with such style and grace. From 2020’s “Lost on Origin”, “Gauntlet” and “Eldarin” to 2021’s “The Path /Perfect Storm”, plus remixes for Alex O’Rion, Rich Curtis and Roger Martinez, GMJ & Matter have been at the vanguard of modern progressive house as they now return for another stellar outing.

“EXT 135” is a fizzing powerhouse of hi-hat percussion and white-noise fills as immaculately filtered melodies emerge from the rhythmic melange alongside a chorus of expertly woven pads. A gentle vocal cut adds a melancholy vibe as the track pauses for breath at the breakdown before blossoming once more into the second half with ease and trademark aplomb.

Continuing the rich rhythmic foundation of its predecessor, “Elemental” develops a stunning rolling cadence and swung percussion that provides the perfect platform for a warm blanket of textured pads and pulsating melodies to emerge. Redolent in delays and effects, a reverse-reverb vocal chant creates tension and variation while a simple motif holds fort in the background, helping rhythm and melody gel across the track’s duration.

The final track sees “Time To Space” propelled forwards with cavernous bass groove, ticking percussion and laser beam effects. Evolving elegantly, a sustained pad creates an Underworld-esque backdrop from which a chunky synth motif filters into sonic range before being juxtaposed by a glassy counterpoint phrase. Building through the breakdown, the tracks hits its stride once more in the latter stages with an expansive soundstage and metronomic groove.

Illustrating unrivalled talent and craftsmanship, GMJ & Matter once again conquer the progressive house landscape with “EXT135 / Elemental / Time To Space”.

Long-time friend of Meanwhile and regular contributor to GMJ and Matter's label, Simos Tagias returns once more with the twin-track "Archaios / Geometric".

With over 400 production credits to his name for some of the finest modern imprints, Simos Tagias has regularly found an outlet for his distinctive brand of progressive house through the likes of Sudbeat Music, Mango Alley and Proton Music. Making a sizeable impression with his debut outing on Meanwhile, the sonic diptych that constituted "Euphoria / Emotion" in March 2021 showcased an immaculate sonic collage that shimmered and glistened with melodic beauty. Remixes from Paul Deep and GMJ and Matter followed in April 2022, while Simos also found himself back on the Meanwhile catalogue with remixes of Imran Khan and Alex O'Rion in late 2021 and early 2022.

Opening his latest original EP, "Archaios" is driven by a powerful rhythmic bedrock that generates club-friendly groove and bassline prowess before shape-shifting pads drift across the mid-range. Subtle motifs gradually enter the fray, exposed fully in the intoxicating breakdown where white-noise risers and open filters provide an epic crescendo. Hitting its straps in the second half, fully evolved melodic sequences jockey for prominence alongside textured chord sequences and driving percussive force. The result is the perfect illustration of modern and emotive progressive house.

A whip-cracking kick and chunky top-line groove anchor "Geometric", while a pitched synth effect immediately piques interest. Dropping easily into its second movement, bassline and rhythm supply the perfect backdrop for a plucked motif to hypnotise with its delicately evolving character, while a heavily side-chained pad pulsates in cadenced waves and adding to expansive sonic landscape. Pausing for breath at a beatless breakdown, the track effortlessly drops back into its mesmerising combination of revolving motif and heavy rhythm as effects and pads generate an almost transcendental state of bliss as "Geometric" plays out.

With consummate ease, Simos Tagias sculpts a new sonic masterpiece in "Archaios / Geometric".

Basil O'Glue & Nomas   - Mission (Hakan Ozurun Remix)

After a pair of remixes 7 years apart, Verche now returns with a full debut and his thematic "Riptide" EP. Opening with the 2-part "Metastaze", a robust groove and sustained bassline provide the foundation for cadenced stabs and trilling synth motif to build alongside a glassy motif in a pulsating club-friendly manner. Part 2 continues the bassline theme of Part 1 as a powerfully sustained lead replaces the more subtle phrasing of its partner track. The result is a gloriously dynamic and dramatic piece. "Riptide" continues the melodic themes of the opener as a powerful groove provides the backdrop for familiar motif and driving force to make their mark. Evolving, vocal chants and white-noise infused pads add real dancefloor purpose. Changing the overall vibe, "Surreal" is typified by a chunky rhythm and syncopated bassline. A flurry of melodic elements and effects-laden pads create a bright sonic landscape as the track rises and falls with ease reaching its denouement at the 6-minute mark. The final original track sees "Northern Lights" continue with a vibrant driving character that builds easily across its 8-minute timeframe where counterpoint and carefully patterned motifs jostle for position. Fully unleashed post-breakdown, a huge kick and pulsing white-noise pads drive the track home with delicate melodies cutting through the mix in repeated phrases.

The combined pair of Luke Brancaccio & Gai Barone needs little introduction. A veteran of more than 20 releases on Bedrock plus work for Platipus and Selador stretching back over 15 years, Brancaccio is an iconic figure. Similarly, Gai Barone's 600 plus production credits for the likes of JOOF, Black Hole, Armada and his own Afterglow imprint, have sealed the Italian's place in dance music's hall of fame. First joining forces on a 2019 remix for Dear Deer, the duo's recent work for Selador, Lost & Found and Renaissance has seen them at the top of their profession. Remixing "Riptide", a chest-thudding kick and ticking percussion provides the foundation for a strongly rhythmic melody to repeat hypnotically throughout in dramatic fashion. Making superb use of the vocal phrasing of Verche's original, the remix blossoms in the second half alongside intelligent use of original components.

On the back of a pair of Particles remixes in 2021, Toronto based, Zoi, saw his talent shining through on reworks for To Ricciardi & Dope (PT) and Jayden Klight. Appearances on Flug Lab, Dream Culture and Traum, over a 5-year career, have showcased a penchant for "complex soundscapes and deep melodies", with Zoi's remix of "Riptide" displaying an array of melodic textures and laidback rhythmic foundation. Making clever use of the Verche's original components, a stripped-back interpretation allows for a floating soundscape to swell gently throughout the 5-minute piece as original production and new motifs enter the fray in the second half. The result is an ingenious and highly original new interpretation.

5 new tracks plus sparkling remixes from Luke Brancaccio, Gai Barone and Zoi find Verche riding a powerful "Riptide".

Riptide

Verche - Riptide (Luke Brancaccio & Gai Barone Remix)

A notable highlight in the Meanwhile production catalogue, Jamie Stevens provided a slice of sonic magic in mid-2022 with his “Circles” EP. Now revisiting the 3-track offering, a trio of remixes come from high-profile artists across three continents.

Hernan Cattaneo & Marcelo Vasami need little introduction to anyone with a passion for underground house. The Argentinean, a household name, regularly plays to audiences in the tens of thousands across South America and beyond, while his Sudbeat Music imprint is at the forefront of the electronic music scene. Widely known as “El Maestro”, Hernan’s reputation is assured. Similarly, Marcelo Vasami has been a renowned figure for over a decade with his music on the likes of Plattenbank, Afterglow, Replug and Sudbeat. Joining forces for their Meanwhile debut, the Hernan Cattaneo & Marcelo Vasami remix of “Stuck on a Feeling” immediately captures the light melodic eloquence of the original while adding a plethora of new production layers, not least in a sublime new bassline progression and crisp rolling percussive groove. Familiar refrains and the vocal so prominent in the original, come to the fore as textured and ethereal pads provide an enchanted moment in the final movement.

A growing force under his progressive house guise with releases on Lost & Found, Sudbeat Music and Mango Alley, Mike Rish has hit upon a formula for success since early work for UGENIUS. December 2021 provided the Melbourne resident with the opportunity to make his Mark on GMJ & Matter’s imprint as he released his impressive musical triptych, “Beyond”. Now returning for a debut remix, the Mike Rish reworking of “Storm Front” is characterised by a deep and chunky bass groove that sits perfectly within a popping, wood-block top-line with its roots firmly in Jamie Stevens’ original. Evolving with ease, smooth production elements from the Mike Rish studio make their presence felt before a richly sustained bassline assumes a prominent role in the second half to superb effect.

Navar has been at the forefront of the underground dance scene for more than 15 years with his imaginative approach and immaculately honed sound. 200 production credits are testament to that fact, for such esteemed imprints as Balance, microCastle and Guy J’s Lost & Found. November 2022’s “Return of the Sun” illuminated Meanwhile in late 2022 as the Dutch star returns for a second remix outing. Reworking the title track, the Navar interpretation is a sparkling jewel that transforms “Circles” into a glorious, arpeggio-laden offering that shimmers with delays and delicate rhythmic cadence in the early stages. Building imperceptibly with bass groove and vocal breaths from the original, it erupts at the mid-point with a driving beat that provides a spine-tingling dancefloor juxtaposition to the smooth melodic sequences, capturing the hypnotic character of Jamie’s work.

Three new remixes see Hernan Cattaneo & Marcelo Vasami, Mike Rish and Navar create another set of magic “Circles” for Jamie Stevens.
