Making his label debut and providing the lone interpretation of 'Tuareg' is Andrea Cassino. Beginning with his highly regarded Cassino and Laben project and eventually shifting to his solo work in 2009, Andrea lays claim to an impressive discography highlighted by releases on Sudbeat Music (as Nocturna w/ Danny Lloyd), Balkan Connection, meanwhile, Proton Music and Soundteller Records. The world's top tastemakers have also noted the Italian's production prowess with John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Guy J all chiming in with support. Now presenting his first project of 2021, Andrea debuts on Clubsonica with a smooth rendition of 'Tuareg'. Engaging from the outset, momentous kicks and rhythmic pulses converge for a fluid foundation, while hypnotic percussion and swirling sonics bring texture to the groove. Building an emotive narrative across the first act, nostalgic melodies and hazy harmonics unite for impassioned moments. Sitting at the heart of the journey, the centrepiece delights with its timeless appeal, where billowing bass swells rise amidst a cloud of colourful effects, as the beats drop for a haunting finale.

A perennial favourite with his sumptuous production work, Sebastian Sellares now debuts on Meanwhile Horizons with the twin-track “Lost in Time”.

Forging an impressive reputation as one of the underground dance industry’s leading lights through an ever-expanding production portfolio, Sebastian Sellares continues to impress. Operating out of his Córdoba home at the foot of the Sierras Chicas, the Argentinean artist has made a name for himself with a sparkling array of original and remix production material. An accomplished guitarist from an early age, a move into dance music via house and techno ultimately led to a focus on the deeper rhythms and more considered melodic phrasing of progressive house.

This attention to detail and talent in abundance has led Sellares to a host of high-profile imprints that include Paul Thomas’ UV, the Anjunadeep behemoth and fellow countryman, Antrim’s Or Two Strangers. The “Jinsei / Zen State” EP on Proton Music saw a remix from Bedrock icon, Nick Muir, while the Sebastian Sellares contribution to GMJ & Matter’s flagship Meanwhile imprint saw April 2021’s “Dunes at Dawn” take centre stage. A remix for GMJ followed two months later while a further for Alex O’Rion followed in February 2022.

Now debuting on sister imprint, Meanwhile Horizons, the “Lost in Time” title track is driven by a gloriously intricate percussive groove that separates spaciously within the stereo soundstage. Gently pulsating pads herald a haunting motif that make its presence felt atop a deep bass groove, while a beautifully imagined guitar sequence ushers in a stripped back breakdown where melancholic chords and delicate string phrasing add to the aural collage. The complex rhythmic arrangement picks up the pace again in the second half, combing with the haunting melodic passages to wondrous effect.

Characterised by heavy beat and a superbly placed off-beat percussion that fires off somewhere over the listener’s left shoulder, partner track, “Afterglow” builds with a sustained pad holding court in the mid-range while a cavernous bassline provides a perfectly syncopated groove. Evolving in sonic waves, mellifluous piano motifs flow unencumbered across the 8-minute piece, drenched in delays and reverbs whose tails stretch off over the sonic horizon. Rising and falling with consummate ease, a breakdown full of meticulously placed elements provides the perfect pause before the track eases into the third movement with metronomic beat and heavenly melody.

Fully ensconced in the here and now, Sebastian Sellares has discovered an enduring melodic balance, “Lost in Time”.

Firmly ensconced at underground dance’s top table, GMJ has matured into a powerful force. Returning to the Meanwhile imprint he founded with spiritual brother, Matter, “Empty to Fill” is an outstanding new offering.

An artist who has risen to prominence in both the live and production arenas, Gavin Griffin finds himself at the centre of an ever-vibrant Melbourne music scene. Home to a host of iconic names and a sound that helped define the progressive house genre in the 2000s, his GMJ moniker has continued to shape the modern progressive sound. With over 400 production credits to his name, a century alongside long-term partner, Matter, GMJ has seen his music adorn the likes of Balance Music, Anjunadeep and Proton Music.

Opening his solo account on Meanwhile with October 2020’s “Mood Medicine”, collaborative EPs with Matter have seen “Lost on Origin”, “The Path / Perfect Storm” and “Eldarin” light up the label, alongside remixes for Simos Tagias, Roger Martinez and Matter himself.

Opening with the title track, “Empty to Fill” is a chunky, subterranean groove-fuelled monster. Bristling with menacing vibe, lighter moments come courtesy of floating synth motifs that glide to the fore in a stripped back breakdown of delicate keys and gloriously delayed sequences. A pulsating white-noise riser heralds a return of the club-friendly groove and gorgeous melodic flow in the latter stages.

Continuing with the trademark rolling groove that watermarks the GMJ sound, “Door of Light” sparkles with arpeggiated backdrop and reverse-reverb vocal breaths. Evolving immaculately, stratified sonic layers flourish as they entwine together in organic fashion. Counterpoint motifs coruscate above pulsing white-noise swells as the aptly named track waxes and wanes in perfect dancefloor cadence, before reaching a rousing crescendo in an immersive sonic tapestry.

The final piece sees the popping percussive vibrancy of “Stage Flight” sit atop a stereo-panned bass groove. Building over its 7-minute duration, syncopated synth riffs lock tightly into the driving framework that reaches its culmination with a chorus of breathy pads and a drop back into the rolling bassline and mirrored synth sequence. The resultant track is a powerful snapshot straight out of the GMJ production playbook.

Chock full of rhythmic force and multi-faceted layers of sound, “Empty to Fill” displays a sparkling 24-carat hallmark of the GMJ sound.

PREMIERE: Redspace, Shell Robinson - Cold Atmosphere (Original Mix) [INU]

Argentinean duo, Alto Astral, have risen quickly to prominence in recent times with their mature production sound and ethereal vocal arrangements. Already regulars on such esteemed imprints as MNL, Or Two Strangers and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, the Barcelona-based pair return with their own very special project in the shape of "Heartbeat Collective".

First conceived at Amsterdam Dance Event 2023 after discussions with the Proton Music team, Alto Astral have meticulously curated a compilation of the highest order featuring both Argentinean and Greek artists and a pair of original tracks from the duo themselves. The result is a spectacular extravaganza showcasing a quintet of modern progressive house music encapsulating a magical musical narrative. As Alto Astral's Martina expounds, "themes surrounding love, unity and empathy" are all present, but juxtaposed against the "powerful, strong and even slightly furious energy of the current world."

"I Am" is a beautiful opener that drifts easily through its combination of ethereal drone and smooth breakbeat rhythm. A cavernous sub-bassline adds depth aplenty while a wonderfully catchy vocal hook floats elegantly across the piece with vocal harmonies creating a majestic sense of open space and sublime emotion. "You & Us" continues the smooth melodic narrative while a chest-thumping 4/4 kick beats out a metronomic anchor. Pads and twinkling arpeggios create delicate melodic interplay as they rise and fall throughout, and a swirling breakdown introduces a loquacious vocal. The second half introduces a new rhythmic urgency and a huge bassline groove to proceedings with dynamic effect.

Label regular, Juan Deminicis, has thrilled Proton Music with a slew of original and remix material and it is an honour to see him represented on "Heartbeat Collective" with the typically mature and deeply flowing "Astral Odyssey". Replete with rhythmic poise and grace, thickly textured pads vie with a delayed arp and lead motif. A beautiful vocal harmony lilts easily as it echoes across the beatless mid-point before the pace is picked up once more in the second half where vocal layers and counterpoint melody join forces to close out the third movement.

Greek legend and long-time Proton Music friend, Simos Tagias, joins the collective party with "Missile". Redolent in typically impressive club-friendly credentials, a rolling, head-shaking groove swings across the 7-minute track with dynamic drive as immaculately cadenced synth notes add sonic intrigue and seething dancefloor vitality. Reaching a rousing crescendo where all melodic components join forces to a compelling zenith, "Missile" drops back to its delicious ever-present groove in the final stages.

Newcomer, Andrés Moris is the final beating heart of the Alto Astral collective as the Córdoba resident builds on success found for the likes of Sudbeat Music, Mango Alley and Juicebox Music. Contributing to the release courtesy of "Connected", Andrés' skill is to create a cone-melting bassline sequence that fills the low-end in imposing fashion. Shimmering synth lines then ripple atop, delicately swimming across the stereo spectrum with a hint of steel drum resonance. A garrulous spoken vocal phrase delivers a meditational air at the mid-point and into the third movement, while the melodic phrasing of earlier movements flow towards the track's conclusion in combination with the devastating bassline pattern.

Five pieces of masterful production from a quartet of progressive house's finest exponents see Alto Astral truly part of a life-affirming "Heartbeat Collective".

Born from an improvised jam session between the two artists, “Universos Paralelos” captures the raw spirit of the dancefloor with its driving rhythm, hypnotic synths, specially from the lead section made by the classic Polysix.

Already receiving strong support from DJs across the Norwegian and Colombian scene, this track is quickly becoming a secret weapon for high-energy house music sets around the globe.

Luca Abayan joins forces with Nightcolours to release his brand new Prisma EP. Comprising two heavyweight original proggers and remixes from Tonaco and Ayan.

Prisma is a snarling Prog monster. Stuffed to the brim with aggressive and very moody sound design, floaty ethereal vocals drift effortlessly creating an absolute monster. On remix duties is one of our favourite producers Tonaco. Taking things on a groove tip full of atmosphere and intricate percussion, it’s another winner from Tonaco.
