Our new week begins by welcoming back Australian imprint Meanwhile with a raw and powerful uplifter from Greekman, Simos Tagias, perfect for that outdoor closing vibe.

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.

AGORIA Ft. NINO DE ELCHE - WHAT IF EARTH WOULD TURN FASTER - DAMIAN LAZARUS RE - SHAPE

From Berlin with a lot of love, the respected Portuguese producer has crafted a masterpiece. Jepe´s ¨astral journey¨ consists of three dance floor gems. A perfect combination of elements make up this release. The title that gives name to the ep can not be more accurate with a cosmic sound where most contemporary elements are complemented by a fine and exquisite melody. Within "Hama" we find a tense progression that hooks us throughout its duration. Elegance and hardness are the characteristics that make up the "Closer Encounter" that accompanied by aggressive percussions will make you remember this track forever. Get ready that we take off to the astral trip that our dear friend Jepe has prepared for us.

Release Title: Aikido EP 
Artist: https://soundcloud.com/madebypete
Label: https://soundcloud.com/yoshitoshi 
Catalogue No.: YR261
Release-Date: 31.05.2019

After a handful of fine releases on Crosstown Rebels Gruuv, and
MadTech, Yoshitoshi is excited to welcome the UK’s Made By Pete to the
label with his fantastic Aikido EP, which brings together heavy tribal
grooves, climactic melodies, and brilliant arrangements to create an
exciting mix of afro-tinged house that wouldn’t sound out of place at
Burning Man. The title track’s conga-driven groove gives way to an
enormous build that is devastating in the club; it’s a textbook floor-filler.
Rising star Enamour is on remix duty for this one, giving us a deep,
trippy mix perfect for the afterhours crowd. The Greencoat Row
continues the formula of Aikido with its layered percussion, spicing things
up with a dramatic melody that creates a spacious and ethereal
atmosphere. The EP is a consistent, thoughtful and breathtaking Yoshi
debut from Made By Pete.
Look out for the Aikido EP May 31 on Beatport and Spotify.

Los Suruba and their record label Nazca Records present their eighteenth release called ‘Alpha’ EP produced by Roberto Carlos, better known as Thimble. From Spain, he will captivate every listener with this release that comes out throughout three fantastic tracks that intrigue from the first minute.

NAZCA Records was born after internalising the connection between the advanced world of the Viracochas, beings from other planets and the archaic world of the Nazcas, lovers of music, dance and art in general.

This new EP consists of three songs. The first one, 'War Pipes' combines a futuristic and mechanical beat with a cool vocal that sound like out of this world.
'Aletella' climaxes in powerful groove caressed by a synth melody and an arpeggio that make each silhouette stand out on the dance floor. Finally,
'Divided' is a broken beat track that catches you in this futuristic combo. The electronic synths keep your feet on the ground while the intensity grows allowing the arpeggios and sequences to merge with your senses letting the vocals direct your thoughts.

If you want to be part of this tribute to psychedelic musical mysticism, do not miss the release date this next May 4th.

Italian duo Armonica has been a project we've discovered a long time ago, so working with the full release with guys is our pleasure and honour.
Their significant productions with Connected Frontline, Stil Vor Talent and Multinotes, as well as the recent remix, done with MoBlack for the legend of afro-beat Fela Kuti, released with Defected, have become the main reasons to love guys' sound.
The main title 'Slave' is powerful and effective banger edging between the melodic influence of laidback Indie Dance vibes and the acid sounds.
We are happy to have Dutch producer Patrice Baumel taking his hands on the remix of 'Slave': going more underground with powerful low-ends work, catchy melodies and the enveloping breakdown, Patrice's version is the undoubted proper floor-worker.
The third 'Ratio' has a profound ground: major synth spots and the melodic elements are unified into the properly performed track.
Enjoy any of the tracks from the release, either all of them; the second will make us happier.
While we prepare more to please you in future.
With no boundaries, as a rule.

Britta Arnold - No Pushing Only Pulling (Kadosh Remix) [Happy Camper]

In August 2020, Kamilo Sanclemente began an exciting new journey "Beyond the Future", ably assisted by Colombian colleague, Dabeat. Now returning to Proton Music with a trio of new tracks and a trio of new collaborators, Sanclemente presents "Beyond the Future, Vol. 2" with remixes from French and Italian legends.

Opening with "Levitation", a powerful beat and machine-gun fire percussion trade blows with a subterranean bass groove and glorious arpeggiated riff that moves from muted to open filter in a smooth sweep. Adding texture through pads, the track, co-produced with Zalvador, evolves into beautifully crafted chords and shimmering emotive energy in the second half. In partnership with Giovanny Aparicio, "Innocence" is another shining jewel that glistens with evocative synth phrasing and delicate delays. A trademark heavy beat holds sway over the melodic elements as a swathe of glorious piano chords open up in the second movement and building in the back end with a powerful wall of sound crescendo. A third original track in collaboration with Mauro Aguirre, sees "Ambar" continue the strong rhythmic narrative of its predecessors. With a subtle organic house flavour, a free-flowing middle eastern inspired synth line meanders across the track while a rich vocal layer complements with natural sounding synth work. The result showcases Sanclemente's inimitable production skill and craftsmanship.

Returning to Proton Music on the back of four volumes of his ever-more successful, "One Side of the Underground" series, Rick Pier O'Neil continues to showcase an immaculate production technique through his prolific output. A pair of remixes in the shape of 2016's reworking of Karl Johan's C9 moniker and Mondkrater's "Stellar Depth" a year later, is now joined by a third. Reworking "Magma", O'Neil's attention to rhythmic nuance comes fully to the fore via an intricate percussive top line, while melodic themes rooted in Sanclemente & Dabeat's original, wax and wane across the 7-minute piece. In addition, a glorious array of additional production material adds a new dynamism with a subtle melancholic flavour, characterised by minor key changes and an incomparable understanding of the dance music industry.

Andrea Cassino is another artist who has found himself a regular on the Proton Music catalogue. A storied producer with a history of hit material under his belt, Cassino has shone with 2017's "Divine" EP and 2020's "Losing Part of Me" (alongside Greenage). Remixes for Rudy, GMJ and Michael A have all contributed to the Andrea Cassino narrative as the Italian born, Argentinean based artist excels once more through a glorious new treatment of "Aerology". Showcasing all his progressive house talent, a stunning array of reverb-coated pads and delayed motifs combine with driving beat and rolling percussion to create a rich and emotive sonic landscape. Using elements from Sanclemente & Dabeat's original with skill and ingenuity, Andrea Cassino extends the track with his production talent to create a progressive gem of an interpretation that hits the heights in the third movement.

A new musical triptych plus remixes from Rick Pier O'Neil and Andrea Cassino demonstrate Kamilo Sanclemente is looking "Beyond the Future" with Volume 2.

Emotional Tourist - The Day the World Meets You EP [XYZ031]
Release Date - 03.19.21
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/EmotionalTourist

Easing us through the depths of March, we welcome Emotional Tourist back into the XYZ fold. Since the soaring reception to his remix of DSF’s Pouf, the Bucharest-bred producer has been firmly in the crosshairs as one to watch in 2021. After making waves last summer with a supreme EP on Kindisch, the Romanian released a stunning edit of Sade to claim our nod as one of the tracks of the year. We think he’s making some of the best deep and melodic sounds around, and we’re thrilled to showcase his immense quality with The Day the World Meets You.

Alfama closes out the project, drawing inspiration from its predecessors. Soft vocals and a delicate string arrangement greet piano stabs, complimenting an ever-present drum rhythm. It’s classic Emotional Tourist, and rounds out an EP that touches upon everything we love about the Romanian. Melodic music from a warm soul - what more could we ask for?
