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. Mango Alley favourite, Forty Cats continues with the smooth sounds of “Mutualism” as hypnotic rhythms and bass groove propel things forwards, while Andrés Moris creates club-friendly force via “Owen’s Dream”. Full of emotive chords progressions and twinkling arpeggios, a pulsating bassline makes for a beautifully assured debut.

Redolent in intricate percussive groove and juxtaposed with sumptuous synth arrangement, Tonaco’s “Setentrional” is a rhythmic tour de force that only pauses for breath at the beatless breakdown, while Dowden’s first of two offerings is a typically impressive offering with “Halstatt” glittering via earworm motif that melds with freeform counterpoint sequence as it evolves through a flurry of white-noise fills and mesmerising presence.

A slow-burning jewel that combines strong rhythmic force with running bassline presence, “Retro” finds Ivan Aliaga showcasing an evolving melodic tapestry that waxes and wanes with ease, while “Misanthropy” is another rhythm-fuelled affair that demonstrates why NOIYSE PROJECT is a name currently on the lips of the progressive cognoscenti with his club-friendly groove and ear for melodic emotion. Moving forwards, the low-slung groove of EMPHI’s “The Box” helps to generate a brooding wall of sound that builds in tension-filled phases that rise and fall in ever-evolving synth work and stereo-panned white-noise effects.

The second track from Dowden see him join forces with Meanwhile’s other co-founder as the immaculate production credentials of Matter see beautiful piano phrases glitter across “York”, fully exposed at the mid-point where reverb-drenched and delay-soaked chords vie for space with a dynamic rhythmic backdrop and ticking hi-hat percussion. Ending as it starts, smooth melodic patterns flow from the fingertips of Gorkiz and Distro in cascading layers of dreamy sonic passages that create a coruscating mosaic of sound atop the blistering rhythmic energy of “Staring at the Sun”.

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

MW033 - V/A: Meanwhile Excursions Volume 2

Andrea Cassino is a name synonymous with a modern progressive house sound. Born in Italy but now firmly based in his adopted Argentinean home, the Buenos Aries resident has been a regular contributor to the Proton catalogues with a slew of original music and a quartet of high-profile remixes. His May 2017 “Divine” EP opened his account with a stunning twin track offering, while September’s “Losing Part of Me” saw a powerful collaboration with Greenage. Collaborating with Lio Q in October 2021 bore fruit via the “Asante” EP while remixes for GMJ, Michael A, Rudy and Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat, told their own story of Cassino’s success.

An artist with a storied history within the Proton Music canon, Juan Deminicis has been a regular contributor to the label's catalogue for over a decade. Now returning, "Cycles" represents another slice of progressive heaven with a delightful twin-track offering.

Beginning his Proton Music relationship with January 2012's "Downshifting", an array of original material has since flowed from the fingertips of Juan Deminicis. 2013's "Behind the Sun" soon followed before a 5-year hiatus then resumed with November 2018's "Life on the Moon", June 2020's "Synchronicity" and July 2021's "Water / Rebellion".

A regular on an array of blue-chip labels including Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, Pablo Bolivar's Seven Villas and Guy J's Lost & Found, the Argentinean star has been flying high in a rarefied atmosphere for almost 15 years.

The "Cycles" title track opens with a sublime trademark rolling groove that wends its way easily atop luscious pads and breathy vocal ‘ahhs'. Crisp hi-hats provide a dynamic vibrancy while a syncopated bassline adds dancefloor energy. Pausing at the breakdown a beautiful piano sequence flows in subtle beauty, combined with atmospheric field recordings. Easing back into the club-friendly groove in the third movement, new melodic sequences enter the fray to create a stunning musical masterpiece.

With its heavy beat and traditional off-beat hi-hat pattern, "Samhadi" soon bristles with emotion as a female vocal sings delicately across proceedings. Perfectly accompanied by twinkling delayed keys, a lilting melody drifts across the early phrases. As the rhythmic elements emerge unencumbered at the mid-point, a beautifully sculpted piano motif creates a moment of melancholy before evolving into the second half. Alongside the vocal phrase and other melodic elements, the track flows to a natural conclusion in a glorious display of production craftsmanship.

Returning to Proton Music, Juan Deminicis' "Cycles" continues to oversee an ever-impressive musical evolution.

Just Movement opens the fall season by welcoming AxeLara back to the label for a new EP. Hailing from Argentina, AxeLara has been a frequent contributor to Just Movement since making his label debut in 2017. Following a contribution to the Summer VA series, The Mar del Plata resident has gone on to record eleven originals and remix across five years. With Manual Music’s MNL division and Kaito Aman’s Terasonic Records also serving as recent landing spots for Axe’s progressive sound, the Argentinean artist now finds his way back to Just Movement for a much-anticipated EP entitled ‘Aglaia / True Lies’, alongside remixes from Alex O’Rion and Sebastian Sellares.

The release concludes with Sebastian Sellares making his label debut with the lone interpretation of ‘True Lies’. Hailing from one of Argentina’s most talent-rich regions in Cordoba, Sebastian Sellares has taken his melodic sound to some of progressive music’s premiere imprints. UK behemoth Anjunadeep, Antrim’s Or Two Strangers, GMJ and Matter’s meanwhile and US powerhouse Proton Music have all served as landing spots for the Argentine’s beloved sound, while world class DJs Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Guy J have been steadfast supporters along the way. In what would have to be considered Sebastian’s most prolific year to date, the fast-rising phenom now makes his Just Movement debut with a peak time rendition of ‘True Lies’. In taking the original’s sensibility Sebastian goes a level up with driving percussive arrangements and full rolling grooves. From this confident club energy comes smooth atmospheric phrasing and buoyant rhythms leading in the break. Looking to bring further emotion to the narrative, percussion gently fades and atmosphere rises across the centrepiece, planting gentle splashes of serotonin along the way, before ultimately breaking off into a heads down finale. A sensational remix from Sebastian, rounding out what is another excellent project from Just Movement stalwart AxeLara. Don’t miss it.

As soon as we discovered Nicolas Petracca, one half of the respected EANP duo, is launching his solo project, we knew Mango Alley has to be the first label to present his inaugural release! So here's EANP pres. NICØ and his ALLEY199 "Life"!

The original is a kind of EANP trademark sound with a twist - dark and techy, yet melodic and emotional. Ruben Karapetyan turns the original idea into a deep and elegant progressive house with a smooth flow and an epic breakdown. Forty Cats comes up with a groovy and exquisite dancefloor piece that surely makes a highlight track in any club!
