GMJ & Matter

Hello everyone, you are back on board PFG's whistle stop tour of Australia, join us in our search for the best DJ's and Producers this beautiful country has to offer!
To say we're delighted to have finally secured the services of our next act, would be something of an understatement. In the 5 years since they joined forces, and countless top ten releases, remixes, a new label, multiple radio shows and DJ sets together, its fair to say they sit astride the global progressive music scene today, and the foreseeable future. We know the 3 years its taken for us to get them here is very much worth it! Ladies and Gents... GMJ/Matter!

Melbourne’s https://soundcloud.com/gmj-fulcrum (Gavin Martin) and https://soundcloud.com/matter (Matty Doyle) joined forces in late 2015, a triggered recognition and magnetism for their shared perspectives and love for deep atmospheric music leading to the formation of the GMJ & Matter collaboration.
Over the next 6 years a natural synergy and seamless understanding has seen works constantly flow with remixes for https://soundcloud.com/pole-folder,  https://soundcloud.com/juandeminicis, Nopi, Donny Car & https://soundcloud.com/zankee-gulati amongst a raft of original works on seminal labels including https://soundcloud.com/balance-series, Jee productions, Proton Music, https://soundcloud.com/themangoalley & https://soundcloud.com/onedotsixtwo.

Studio success has translated into demand from a constantly growing number of respected festivals and clubs both locally and abroad, highlighted by a European Tour in 2019 with gigs for Progressive Astronaut in London and Replug Records 10 year anniversary at ADE in Amsterdam.
Joining forces in 2020 with https://soundcloud.com/morningafteragency saw an acceleration and springboard of growth towards headlining gigs both locally and on a global scale.
The same year set the stage for the conception and constant growth of the pair's https://soundcloud.com/meanwhilerec imprint, which opened to high regard throughout the industry, both as a platform for their own signature sounds, and as a home to some of the world’s finest. With support from heavyweights including https://soundcloud.com/guy-j, https://soundcloud.com/djnickwarren & https://soundcloud.com/hernancattaneo, among others, and with many amazing artists and releases on the horizon, Meanwhile has established itself firmly as a top 10 global label in progressive house.

 And despite being locked down for the best part of this year 2021 has seen the next step in the growth of meanwhile with the conception of their new label 'Meanwhile Horizons'

With constant inspiration raising the heights in reflection, the future is to the stars! 

ENJOY THE MIX!

PFG The Progcast - Episode 82 - GMJ & Matter

Following the success of August 2021’s debut compilation series, and a first volume featuring six original tracks from a stellar cast of international talent, GMJ & Matter now return with a thoroughbred 10-track sequel in “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2”.

Presenting a global dance party with artists from across the continents, from North and South America to Europe, Australasia and Asia, the second instalment of the “Meanwhile Excursions” series combines an array of established talent with up-and-coming nubreed artists who shine a bright light on the progressive house genre.

"Opening with the deep bass groove of “Negev”, Colombian star, Golan Zocher, and label head-honcho, GMJ, blend their talent with a delicate ambience that shimmers across its 8-minute time fame with textured pads and flowing soundscape. "......

A 10-track trip through the sound of modern progressive house, “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2” is a journey to remember.

Tracklist:

03. Chris Zippel & Ghenwa Nemnom - To Follow (Landhouse Remix)

Release Info: 
A new label to enter the underground house milieu, Pillbox has a set of 24-carat gold credentials from which to cast its net over the global club scene. Owned and curated by Proton progenitor, Sam Packer, the label's first release sees a track from German and Lebanese talents. Remixes come from Australia and Germany.

An artist with a rich electronic music history, Chris Zippel has been immersed in the world of house since the age of 15. Splitting his time between Berlin and Ibiza, the German artist has taken centre stage with work alongside the Pet Shop Boys, Robbie Williams and Paul Van Dyk. With music signed to Ubersee Music, Allisum Records and GMJ & Matter's Meanwhile Horizons, Zippel continues to grow in stature. A rising star, renowned for her status as a leading Qanun player, Ghenwa Nemnom has combined her love of the traditional Middle Eastern instrument with an ability to use its unique sound in the world of dance music and the organic house sound found on such leading imprints as Café De Anatolia, Alt Orient and Melody of the Soul. Now joining forces for the first time, "To Follow" is an extraordinary track that drifts enticingly with gently rolling beat and deep 16th note sub bassline. In tandem, the beautifully plucked sound of Nemnom's Quanun reveals itself in a virtuoso performance. A whispering vocal phrase emerges at the mid-point before ambient effects and subtly placed arpeggio combine in the second half to spine-tingling and immaculately crafted effect.

Gavin Griffin needs no introduction to those familiar with the progressive house sound of the past 5 years. A leading light in the underground fraternity with his performance behind the decks and near 500 production credits for the like of Anjunadeep, Balance Music and Proton Music, the Australian artist continues to push boundaries, defining the modern progressive sound. Reworking "To Follow", the GMJ remix is dripping in trademark silky smooth melodies and rolling rhythmic underpinning. Building imperceptibly, a vocal sample from Zippel and Nemnom's original creates a melodic peg from which to hang a glorious analogue synth motif. The cadenced phrase shimmers across the stereo spectrum as layer of pads and counterpoint motifs create an uplifting sonic experience. Using the fundamental harmonic themes from "To Follow", the track builds post-breakdown into a glorious sonic collage that showcases GMJ's technique and talent to the full.

PREMIERE: Chris Zippel & Ghenwa Nemnom - To Follow (GMJ Remix) [Pillbox]

Hey everybody! We are really proud and happy to share this mix at the end of a big year that was 2022!

The year has felt like many years in many ways with the rollercoaster of challenges as well as highs.
Musically we were able to travel and build and expand our Meanwhile brand, and amongst that find new inspiration for the music we love.

Our intention is always to connect with the cosmic within us to be the bridge to manifest the sound that comes through us.

With that in mind, we wanted to bring forward a deep and introspective journey for this mix that reflected and resonated with our path as both artists and music lovers.

We really wanted to do something different; our intention and feeling was to create something timeless that listeners will want to keep coming back to… a listening experience more than a pure dancefloor set.
Most of our mixes these days being label owners and producers contain a lot of the freshest music we have access to which is always exciting, but for this we wanted more of a journey over a wider span of time and to present a flow that remains deep and reflective, with timeless tunes that fit no matter when or where they were written.

Of course there is some fresh stuff there from our labels and ourselves, as well as a few edits we have made especially for this mix.

We hope you all enjoy this journey; we poured our heart and soul into it and we are honoured to share this as the last 333 mix for the year that was 2022.
