Opening a new chapter in an already leading best-seller, GMJ & Matter launch a companion label to sit alongside their peerless Meanwhile imprint. Through Meanwhile Horizons, the Australian duo are set to focus on a more melodic and considered dancefloor sound with a liberal smattering of downtempo and chillout music. 

A debut release sees a stunning quartet of artists take centre stage on “Beyond the Horizon”. Opening the EP, Maddy Hughes once again takes his renowned and revered Funkform moniker into the limelight with “Cosmosis”. Beautifully imagined, delicate textures and sonic waves wash over each other in delicious harmony as subtle motifs emerge out the aural collage. Building in delicate intensity, a chunky beat and airy percussive groove sit atop the 9-minute piece as the second half opens up with glittering arpeggio and an immaculate wall of sound. 

Co-label founder, Matter, once again delivers another stunning performance with “Air Sand”, the first single from his forthcoming debut album on Meanwhile Horizons. A veteran of countless high-profile releases on the likes of Anjunadeep, Balance and Proton Music, the Australian provides a powerful backdrop of thumping beat and ticking percussive overlay as a rolling groove creates the foundation for an evolving array of sounds to blossom in the 10-minute sonic excursion. Always keeping the dancefloor in mind, a club-friendly middle section is a progressive house masterclass of layered melodies, vocal breaths and hypnotic plucked motif. Sandwiched either side by waves of atmosphere and texture, “Air Sand” is another Matter gem.

A stalwart of the progressive house scene for 8 years, Rafa’EL is another artist with a rich seam of high-profile releases to his name for the likes of Balkan Connection, Univack and Electronic Tree. Now making his mark on Meanwhile Horizons, “Julie” is a fluid, progressive house jewel that glitters through use of sparkling arpeggio and sumptuous free-flowing pads. The most recognisable club-friendly track of the EP, a strong rhythmic framework anchors the track while synthesised vocal sounds pitch delicately against layers of counterpoint motifs to create a spell-binding debut.

Debuting his new ambient and downtempo soubriquet, Meanwhile supremo, GMJ presents Qiam on the final track of the release. Already an iconic name within the underground dance fraternity with scores of best-selling releases on blue-chip imprints, “Dadradah” is a gloriously imagined track brim full of emotion and atmosphere. Within a beatless structure, thickly textured pads dominate as an emotionally charged bassline sustains throughout. Building to a spine-tingling crescendo over its 6-minute duration, a filtered arpeggio sequence opens up as delicate string motifs had further intensity in the final stages.

Stretching out into a golden dawn, “Beyond the Horizon” showcases an increasingly bright new future.

Release date: Sept.10th 

After remixing GMJ & Matter’s 'Lost on Origin' in late 2020, Imran Khan released a debut EP this past Feb on Australia's Meanwhile Recordings. Now, they welcome him back with two new remixes from Greek star Simos Tagias & Argentinian artist Juan Deminicis with today's featured premiere of Juan's remix of 'Horizonz'.

----------
A legendary figure in the underground house community, Juan Deminicis has consistently been at the cutting edge of the movement with a distinctive and innovative sound that has seen him grace such iconic imprints as Pablo Bolivar’s Seven Villas, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Guy J’s Lost & Found. Now making his Meanwhile debut, the Juan Deminicis remix of 'Horizonz' is a compelling rework that dazzles with trademark rhythmic flair and sumptuous melodic arrangement. Layers of sound cascade over each other in intelligent fashion as the cadence of the original is enhanced with a dynamic vibrancy from sparkling hi-hats. Sumptuous pads and reverb-coated synth lines ripple across proceedings with ease as the subtle motifs of Khan’s work are complemented further by Deminicis’ stunning artistry.

Imran Khan
Imran began his journey with electronic music in the 80s with a love of early hip-hop, scratching and the breakdancing scene. Roxanne Shante, Doug E Fresh, Mantronix and The Beastie Boys were big influences. 

The arrival of the late 90s saw him develop an addiction to vinyl and DJing, diving headlong into the music scene, absorbed by the hypnotic sounds of Sasha & Digweed, Danny Tenaglia and Paul Oakenfold amongst others. The turn of the millennium saw an interest develop in the production side of electronic music. Over the years he has slowly honed his craft, being drawn to the dark and deeper side of the genre. 

A wide spectrum of musical influences, from Film Scores to Metal, have helped develop his own musical identity. And now...with releases and remixes on top labels such as Proton, Particles and Meanwhile to name but a few, he has earned a new level of exposure that through pure passion and dedication he has worked long and hard to achieve.

Looking out over new 'Horizonz', Juan Deminicis and Simos Tagias create a bright new dawn for Imran Khan.

Release info:
"As the New Year appears, 2022 sees fresh music come into focus as Meanwhile Horizons welcomes Chris Zippel to the roster and his “Noosphere / Ombra” EP.
 
An iconic artist with a host of impressive production credentials to his name, Chris Zippel, has been at the vanguard of electronic music since the age of 15. His portfolio thus sees music writing credits for the Pet Shop Boys, Robbie Williams, Norah Jones and Paul Van Dyk in a long and illustrious career. Splitting his time between his Berlin hometown and the party island of Ibiza, Zippel also has a raft of solo production credits to his name, dating back to a debut for Organic Records in early 2001. Since then, a cornucopia of underground electronic music has found its way onto the likes of Elektrolux, Parasol Phonotheque, Ubersee Music and Allisum Records.
 
Now debuting on GMJ and Matter’s sister imprint, Chris Zippel opens with the spellbinding “Noosphere”. Anchored upon a thumping beat and ticking hi-hat percussion, a rolling groove is the perfect bedrock for a hypnotic analogue bassline to propel the track forwards, accompanied by a smooth arpeggio and sympathetic melodic phrasing. The result is a rare and emotive combination that arouses hairs on the back of the neck as “Noosphere” builds in unrelenting fashion to a rousing dénouement in the second half.
 
Continuing the rich melodic building blocks of its partner track, “Ombra” is a slightly more relaxed affair with its beautifully sculpted analogue envelopes that simultaneously harness the spirit of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Georgio Moroder. A gloriously filtered arpeggio meanders across proceedings as white noise crashes and ethereal chord sequences paint a vivid sonic picture, gradually revealing itself across an 8-minute timeframe, atop a sumptuous undulating groove.
 
Out of the shadows, Chris Zippel is able to harness a sublime musical evolution, illustrated by his “Noosphere / Ombra” EP."

Launching their Meanwhile Horizons imprint with suitable flair in August 2021 with “Beyond The Horizon”. Initially through a quartet of sparkling tracks, GMJ & Matter return to the series with a second edition. Seven new pieces now showcase the talents of established and newcomers alike within “Beyond The Horizon Volume 2”.
 
Fresh from his “We Are One” EP for Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden, Zankee Gulati opens the compilation with the atmospheric “The Magic Spoon”. Redolent in rolling percussive groove and thickly textured pads, a rippling arpeggio paves the way for a laconic lead synth to meander across the 9-minute piece, taking centre stage at the breakdown. Typically deep and brooding, Meanwhile regular, Imran Khan, highlights a raft of production magic within “Serenity”. Immaculately woven sonic patterns meander across the aptly named track as modulated pads and layered sequences mingle deliciously together. A heavy beat and regular off-beat percussion add to the trademark mesmerising vibe.

PREMIERE: Zankee Gulati - The Magic Spoon (Original Mix) [MEANWHILE HORIZONS]

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.
