2. Guy Mantzur & Khen - Where is Home - Matthias Meyer Remix

A truly talented artist with huge following and global appeal, Alex O’Rion continues to go from strength to strength within the world of underground dance. With his work spanning some 15 years of commercial releases, the Dutch master is a welcome returnee to Meanwhile with a stellar quartet of original tracks.

A regular across the industry’s finest purveyors of modern and cerebral progressive house music, Alex O’Rion has constantly found his music featured on such esteemed imprints as Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat, Guy J’s Lost & Found and Nick Warren’s Hope. A regular visitor to the upper echelons of the Beatport charts, over a million Spotify streams in 2020 and 4,000 followers points to broad appeal and wide-ranging support.

Now returning to Meanwhile after a trio of remixes for label head-honchos GMJ & Matter on June 2020’s “Gauntlet” and February 2021’s “The Path”, Alex O’Rion now returns to the label with a devastating 4-track original EP of unrivalled quality.

The “Echium” title track is a blistering sub-bass monster that drives along powerfully on a bed of ticking hi-hats and chest-thumping kick. Building in momentum, smooth pads and effortless synth lines flow across the 8-minute piece before revelling in a stripped-back breakdown. Picking up the pace again in the third movement, gorgeous harmonic overtones layer delicately across each other, borne of never-ending delay sweeps.

“Stranded” continues the powerful rhythmic narrative and otherworldly sonic landscape before a percussive loop provides subtle melodic phrasing. Shifting synth sequences bisect the left-right spectrum as waves of white noise fall against a rocky outcrop of percussive hats. Melodic lines continue to evolve in delicate patterns into the second half in a sonic palette of sheer bliss.

A sumptuous bassline groove propels “The Chase” through its hypnotic paces, accompanied by a chugging rhythmic backdrop. Simultaneously, gentle synth motifs pulsate in side-chained synchronicity as a rich symphony of sound swells into the second half against a plucked earworm phrase. The result is a dynamic and devastating club-friendly track that is sure to inspire a multitude of hands-in-the-air moments.

“The Serpent” ends the quadrilogy with its rippling sound effects that cascade in spiral patterns against a melodious foreground. Delicate percussive patterns marry with a deep resonant kick to provide a rhythmic anchor, giving freeform synth motifs the opportunity to express a meandering sonic voyage that reaches a powerful crescendo at the midpoint. Hitting its stride again in the third movement with additional melodic sequencing, the result is a charismatic end to an outstanding original EP."

Since the beginning of Lost & Found, Guy J wanted to make every release on his platform special. This attitude kept the label's reputation as one of the global leaders in underground club music. It is impossible to predict the label's next move, but it is likely to be outstanding. That's what the new release is all about! X-Press 2 is the legendary award-winning UK duo with rock-solid status. Numerous hits and classics they have produced made them both critically acclaimed and beloved by international audiences. One of those classics is AC/DC! The single has been delivering excitement on the dance floors since the beginning of the century, and it was about time to come up with an equally exciting update. Guy J managed to keep all the recognizable elements of the original track while putting his apparent sound signature present. It is one of those remixes where the involvement of the remixer brings exponential improvement, making it larger than life. The other part of this two-track release is no less impressive! Future is a masterpiece by Halo Varga from the year 2000. It was probably impossible to see the longevity of this piece of music while making the track. However, over two decades later, this classic is still relevant, especially with Guy J's hands on it.

Enamour has a signature sound that is as effective in the club as it is for headphone introspection, whether he’s producing deep, melodic or progressive house.

Opener 'Ergot' is a fun and stylish house cut. It is loose and fluid, with slick percussion and bubbling synths that are full of personality. The amusing combination sets the tone while a bright melody adds a gently euphoric touch. The brilliant "Dreamland' has a playful and subtly funky groove overlaid with synthwork that drips of futuristic psychedelia. Pads leave long tails in their wake with diffuse neon hues that are easy to get lost in. 'Hang in There!’ is the final tune and a serious ear-twister. The bass remains elastic as it weaves its way beneath edgy, whimsical chords that build tension and bring cosmic vibes to this memorable record. 

The three tracks are each characterful vibe-setters in their own right, with distinct sonic choices that are sure to turn heads on the dance floor. Take a trip with Enamour's Ergot EP, another widescreen showcase of his well-crafted sounds and unique style.

Rounding out the release are the deeper, hypnotic qualities of ‘Room 09’. Sebastian's distinctive flow and percussive cadence shine once again as warm beats, exotic drums and indistinct vocals unite for a smooth rhythmic ride. Leading into the main break, cascading melodies marry emotive chord changes, before melting down to an impassioned interlude and radiant finale. It rounds out an inspired collection of music from Sebastian, who returns to Antrim's Or Two Strangers with some of his strongest material to date.
