► Release Info:

GMJ & Matter need little introduction to the underground dance cognoscenti. In-demand producers and DJs with a beguiling sound that defines modern progressive house, the Australian duo return to Balance Music with their ‘Helioflow’ EP.

Both prodigious artists in their own rights with a slew of high-profile releases to their name, the Australian duo first came to prominence as a collaborative force with their May 2016 'Superposition' EP on Proton Music. Since then, GMJ & Matter have continued to see their careers hit stratospheric heights as international DJs, producers and label owners.

Now returning to Balance Music for the first time since 2019’s ‘Emerge' EP, alongside fellow countryman, FunkForm, the 'Helioflow' title track is a glorious modern progressive house gem. Full of trademark production characteristics, a heavy kick and hypnotic percussive groove lays the foundation for swirling white-noise fuelled pads to rise and fall gently. Before long, a filtered synth line enters the fray liberally coated in sweeping delays and cavernous reverb. Evolving easily to the mid-point, textured elements and motifs combine in a haunting breakdown before the powerful rhythmic foundation drops back in to create a pulsating closing movement.

Imagine sitting on a high-rise building with your legs dangling from the edge—that's the adventure on offer in 'Skyline Depth.' The drum section takes you on an enveloping ride through shuffling hats and tightly bound percussion, all accentuated by dream-like synths and samples awash in the most glorious reverb. The journey culminates in a sensational breakdown, where balmy, mirage-haze melodies rise in the distance. This is a track to share with friends on early morning dancefloors as the sun rises.

We're thrilled to share Mango Alley's brand new ALLEY255 "Oceans In Between / Hidden Path", a collaborative piece by Meeting Molly & Maze 28. The release introduces two distinct tracks, "Oceans In Between" and "Hidden Path".

With "Oceans In Between" Meeting Molly & Maze 28 blend their creative energies to craft a composition that feels like a voyage across boundless seas. Waves of melody and rhythm ebb and flow, carrying listeners on a journey of discovery and wonder.

GMJ & Matter and EMPHI infuse "Oceans In Between" with fresh energy and perspective in their remixes, breathing new life into the original. Their interpretations unlock hidden depths within the track.

"Hidden Path" unveils a mysterious landscape waiting to be explored. Meeting Molly & Maze 28 weave a sonic lacework that beckons listeners to venture into the unknown, guided only by the allure of hidden pathways.

Maze 28's debuting alter ego, Futura City, takes on the task of remixing "Hidden Path," transforming the track into a sonic labyrinth of intrigue and mystery. Futura City's reinterpretation adds layers of complexity and depth, while making the whole pack complete.

► Release Info:

First appearing on Meanwhile in mid-2023 with a 3-track extravaganza of epic proportions, Tantum now returns to the label with another musical triptych in the shape of "Contact High / This is Real / Scatter". A production career that began with a high-profile debut on EIN2, German producer, Tantum, has made a name for himself blurring the boundaries between progressive house and melodic techno. Subsequent releases for Juicebox Music, Mango Alley and Guy J's Lost & Found have put Tantum firmly on the underground dance map. May 2023's "Secondary / Suan Pan / Narko" was a notable highlight on GMJ & Matter's imprint, while a remix of the duo's "Time to Space" a few months later showcased another side to his production credentials. Opening the EP, "Contact High" is a chunky rhythmic jewel that glistens with iridescent light as reversed melodies and rippling arpeggio build powerfully against a driving dancefloor beat and body-swaying percussive groove. Hypnotic and vibrant, a rasping bassline and pitched oscillator motif create a mesmerising intensity that builds through the breakdown before dropping back into the club-ready groove in the second half. The aptly titled "Scatter" impresses with its angular beats and liberally placed fragmented effects. Muted arpeggios and mid-range motifs infuse the middle sections as a searing glissando lead line rises and falls with analogue-filtered intensity. The combination of melody at the breakdown then heralds the arrival of the dominant kick to regain rhythmic vitality in the third movement. The final track sees "This is Real" delight with hits wood-block percussive cadence and syncopated bass sequence. Revelling in an array of complementary synth lines, pitched oscillators create an easy free-flowing character that is both innovative and dynamic. Weaving gently throughout in coruscating patterns, it builds intensity as the rhythmic gravitas hits its heights post-breakdown to inspiring and striking effect.

► Release Info:

As Meanwhile Horizons readies itself for an 18th impressive release, Matter and Eric Lune join forces for an Australian triple-tracker on “Starlight / Memory Burn / EyeAndYou”.

Both shining lights within the progressive fraternity, Melbourne-based Matter and Eric Lune are individually responsible for a plethora of high-profile releases on such leading imprints as Balance Music, Vapour Recordings and Proton Music. Now the co-founder of the Meanwhile brand joins forces with a label debutant as Meanwhile Horizons brings together Matter and Eric Lune for their collaborative debut.

Replete with trademark progressive house tropes, “Starlight” opens proceedings with a typically smooth and luscious sonic landscape. A heavy beat and shimmering percussive backdrop combine with rippling arpeggio to pave the way for a lead motif that takes centre stage. Full of warm feelgood overtones, subtle vocal textures build as layers of new melody and pitched synth effects create an elegant and blissful wall of sound.

“Memory Burn” offers a slightly faster-paced touch with its kick / snare combination and triplet hi-hat shuffle. A muted arpeggio soon enters the fray as its open filter cadence sits perfectly within the rhythmic backdrop. Adding dancefloor flavour, a smooth bassline sequence creates a stunning emotive atmosphere while a floating synth lead hits its zenith at the mid-point before dropping away to deliver a stunning new grooved bassline. Combining effortlessly in the second half, rhythm, melody and bass sizzle and sparkle in majestic fashion.

The final track finds a chunky rhythmic framework laying the foundation for a huge bassline groove to propel “EyeAndYou” into Ibiza dancefloor territory. Syncopated synth riffs sparkle while vocal flourishes and glassy keys create counterpoint melody aplenty as they pan across the stereo spectrum. The result is a delicate and effortless affair that resonates with a Way Out West / Jody Wisternoff air.

Three tracks from Matter and Eric Lune light up new horizons through “Starlight / Memory Burn / EyeAndYou”.
