Juicebox Music's 62nd release sees Mike Rish's 3-track EP "The Quest", originally released in late 2021, getting a fresh breath of life with a set of remixes. The Melbourne (Australia) based artist made his debut on our imprint with his deep, yet powerful remix of Simos Tagias' "Black Swan and swiftly followed it up with a magnificient release which earned high praises & support. Mike Rish furthered his sonic mark with releases on GMJ & Matter's 'meanwhile' as well as James Beetham's 'Last Night Music'. To celebrate "The Quest" EP, we called upon Kabi, EMPHI, Haen & MONé to rework all three tracks from the EP - "The Quest", "Enter" & "Tuumla".

First up is Buenos Aires (Argentina) based artist - Lucas Khabie aka Kabi, who makes his return to the imprint after his chart-topping "Lost In Roses" EP with K Loveski. His dreamy and club-effective style caught the attention of the progressive community, namely through his body of work on Nick Warren's 'The Soundgarden', Guy Mantzur's 'Plattenbank' & Mango's 'Mango Alley', to name a few. Releasing quality over quantity, his attention to detail is evident. For his latest offering, Kabi injects his signature style into Mike Rish's "The Quest", turning it into a deep yet driving interpretation whilst retaining the magical melodic moments.

Initially making his appearance on Juicebox Music via our inaugural edition of 'Fables' with his track "Parabol", EMPHI returns to the label for his first remix duty. Better known to his friends & family as Johan Härdin, the Swedish-based artist captivated the audience ever since he launched the EMPHI project in 2020, with one of his first signings being on Yotto's 'Odd One Out'. He's continued to cement his place in the industry with productions on Armen Miran's 'Hoomidaas' & Jelly For The Babies 'One of A Kind', while receiving amazing support from the likes of Cristoph, Ida Engberg, Henry Saiz, Dmitry Molosh & more. Hot off the press, EMPHI retouches Mike Rish's "Enter" to give it more after-hours approach with a fine lesson in energy-restraint that crescendos perfectly at the drop.

The final remix of the pack comes from a collaboration between two Indian artists making their debut on Juicebox Music, meet Haen (aka Sachin Menon) and MONé (aka Sooraj Sivadas). Haen kickstarted his discography with special 4-track electronica "Moved" EP, alongside fellow producer mate - Scarr., on the US powerhouse imprint - 'Monstercat Silk'. While Sachin continues to keep the association strong with the Silk Music family, his electronica-meets-breaks-meets-progressive style also found its place on labels like 'Sommersville', 'Movement Limited' & 'Mango Alley', where he's also co-founded Mango Alley's sister imprint - 'Maldesoule'. MONé, although being newer to the production space, was Juicebox Music's resident DJ & label manager in the beginning stages of the label, making him an integral part of the family. Taking his time to learn the craft of producing, Sooraj launched himself as MONé to express his love of underground electronic music, releasing tracks that range from the depths of deep breaks to raw techno. Teaming up to remix Mike Rish's "Tuumla", Haen & MONé explore a completely new, aggressive & creative direction whilst still paying homage to the original.

Production duo anamē deliver their remixes of Lostep's seminal record 'Burma'. 

anamē is the new project from Marcus Schössow (previously one half of gardenstate) and Thomas Sagstad. The pair have had a busy 2022, debuting with their emotive collaboration with Above & Beyond and Marty Longstaff, 'Gratitude'. 

A jubilant vocal ballad and a tough, dancefloor filler, 'Gratitude' has cemented itself as a future classic for both Above & Beyond and anamē. Marcus and Thomas subsequently dropped their own 'AM' and 'PM' mixes of 'Gratitude' on Anjunabeats, with All Day I Dream star Sébastien Léger also contributing a rework.

anamē have also released 'Influencer' (with BLR and Robbie Rise) on Anjunabeats over summer 2022, and a stirring rework of a dancefloor classic in Conjure One and Sinéad O’Connor's 'Tears From The Moon'. They've now turned their attention to another one of their personal anthems, Lostep's 'Burma': anamē's 'AM' remix was premiered by Above & Beyond at their sold-out Group Therapy 500 celebrations in Los Angeles.

Lostep first released ‘Burma’ in 2004 on Global Underground Music, which was then remixed by Sasha and included on his iconic Involver compilation. The original and Sasha remixes became dancefloor staples, racking up plays from legendary DJs across electronic music: John Digweed, Gabriel & Dresden, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, BLR, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Nick Warren and Lee Burridge to name a few.

Lostep 'Burma' (anamē Remixes) is out now on Anjunabeats.

Release Date: 12th December 2022

Acclaimed electronic duo Kasablanca present 'Crucible', their final Anjunabeats single of the year.

This enigmatic melodic techno duo exploded onto the scene in summer 2020 with their Lane 8 collaboration, 'Run', a bonafide hit for both artists. As of December 2022, it’s been streamed over 40 million times worldwide and charted at #1 on SiriusXM BPM. ‘Run’ was followed by their debut album 'Human Learning', and a standout collaboration with Bob Moses, 'Afterglow'. They've enjoyed extensive support on their releases from Vintage Culture, The Chainsmokers, Above & Beyond, Pete Tong, Don Diablo, Oliver Heldens, and many more.

In December 2021, they joined us at Anjunabeats, remixing Above & Beyond's 'Black Room Boy' as part of the '10 Years of Group Therapy' celebrations. Their first original music on the label arrived soon after: the three-track 'Immunity EP' was released in March 2022. The title track ‘Immunity’ was playlisted on Diplo’s Revolution station on Sirius XM, and was described as “a sleekly propulsive slice of melodic techno” by Billboard. They returned to us over the summer with 'Dream About You', premiered by Above & Beyond on Anjunabeats Volume 16.

Premiered at Boma Festival in Sao Paulo in late 2021 and finessed in their studio, 'Crucible' is Kasablanca's final release of the year ahead of more new music heading our way in 2023.

The duo debuted their live show, replete with racks of modular synthesisers, at Red Rocks Amphitheater in September 2021 while supporting US bass superstar Rezz. They've thrilled crowds across the globe, including at our Group Therapy Weekender festival at Dockyards London - their first-ever UK headline show. 

Having recently wrapped up a run of shows with deadmau5 and NERO, Kasablanca are set for their first headline tour across North America in early 2023, alongside supporting Above & Beyond on New Year's Eve at Washington D.C's Echostage, and an appearance at Miami's Ultra Music Festival.


Kasablanca 'Am I Dreaming?' Tour Dates:


Feb 3 - Salt Lake City, UT @ Soundwell
Feb 4 - Los Angeles, CA @ Echoplex
Feb 10 - San Francisco, CA @ The Independent
Feb 11 - Denver, CO @ Larimer Lounge

Kasablanca - Crucible

Ending the year in style, Meanwhile celebrates its 39th release with label head-honchos, GMJ & Matter showcasing a 3-track epic in “EXT 135 / Elemental / Time to Space”.

Artists who have risen rapidly to secure permanent seats at underground dance’s top table, GMJ & Matter excel within the DJ and production arenas. Responsible for some of the most intelligent and atmospheric progressive house music the industry has seen and an ironclad provenance behind them, the Melbourne based duo have been leading lights in their hometown and beyond for more than 15 years. Hugely respected artists in their own rights with over 500 individual production credits each, a century has come within their collaborative partnership.

As such, original gems have included several original EPs for Proton Music, with additional work finding its way onto the likes of Anjunadeep, onedotsixtwo and Balance Music. However, it is on Meanwhile where the Australian duo have joined forces with such style and grace. From 2020’s “Lost on Origin”, “Gauntlet” and “Eldarin” to 2021’s “The Path /Perfect Storm”, plus remixes for Alex O’Rion, Rich Curtis and Roger Martinez, GMJ & Matter have been at the vanguard of modern progressive house as they now return for another stellar outing.

“EXT 135” is a fizzing powerhouse of hi-hat percussion and white-noise fills as immaculately filtered melodies emerge from the rhythmic melange alongside a chorus of expertly woven pads. A gentle vocal cut adds a melancholy vibe as the track pauses for breath at the breakdown before blossoming once more into the second half with ease and trademark aplomb.

Continuing the rich rhythmic foundation of its predecessor, “Elemental” develops a stunning rolling cadence and swung percussion that provides the perfect platform for a warm blanket of textured pads and pulsating melodies to emerge. Redolent in delays and effects, a reverse-reverb vocal chant creates tension and variation while a simple motif holds fort in the background, helping rhythm and melody gel across the track’s duration.

The final track sees “Time To Space” propelled forwards with cavernous bass groove, ticking percussion and laser beam effects. Evolving elegantly, a sustained pad creates an Underworld-esque backdrop from which a chunky synth motif filters into sonic range before being juxtaposed by a glassy counterpoint phrase. Building through the breakdown, the tracks hits its stride once more in the latter stages with an expansive soundstage and metronomic groove.

Illustrating unrivalled talent and craftsmanship, GMJ & Matter once again conquer the progressive house landscape with “EXT135 / Elemental / Time To Space”.

GMJ & Matter - EXT 135

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.

Following up on September 2022’s “Space Walk” EP, Covsky joins forces with newcomer, Frais, as the pair hit the ground running with “Sands of Time”. Full of emotion, a wonderful sub-bass groove creates a flawless foundation for a suite of elegant melodic layers to weave an imaginative sonic picture, reaching a rousing crescendo at the mid-point before bursting into life in the second half. A Horizons debutant, Federico Puentes, paints an evocative aural landscape as “Autumn Leaves” delivers a meticulous percussive framework within which smooth motifs and breathy vocal counterweight, flow in repeated patterns. Pausing for breath to let the melodic elements shine, the second half continues to paint the vivid melodic patterns of earlier movements.

Another Meanwhile first-timer with releases on Mango Alley, The Soundgarden and Keyfound, Billka makes a powerful impression with his delicate “Promises”. A repeated bassline and synth motif belies its simplicity as emotion is built midway via sublime vocal sequences. Coupled with deep kick and light percussive air, the track flourishes to a masterful sonic conclusion. UK producer, Fabreeka, has witnessed an impressive rise to prominence since a 2019 debut for Mistique Music, and his “Dream Path” is full of innovative motifs that blend together to create the perfect symbiotic whole. Through strong rhythm and rolling hi-hat groove, the track reaches its zenith in the third movement to striking effect.

The final track sees GMJ return to familiar ground with his Qiam alter-ego. Making his debut on “Beyond the Horizon”, “Light Recall” is a masterfully produced ambient piece that glistens with sonic stardust. Deliciously textured pads modulate across the left/right spectrum, while discordant analogue synth patterns play out in pitched delays before powerful bassline and vocal effects lift the track through its latter stages. Intelligently imagined, a raft of layers delivers intrigue and innovation in equal measure.

Seven tracks of the highest quality capture the imagination “Beyond The Horizon Volume 2”.

To close out the year on the label in style we welcome Some Of and Moon-Sun with their brand new 'Waiting EP'. On their ICONYC debut the duo gets us in the mood with the opening title track 'Sunshine'. A grooving progressive melodic roller, fusing chord stabs with string ensembles and clinical percussion with a beautiful driving lead line and vocal. 'Sunshine' is a monster of a track, that is perfect for your club inspired evening entertainment and to get you in the mood for a big night out.

Next up we have the 'Waiting'; this driving offbeat basslined winner, really hits it one from the off, as it musically slams it home. Adding a few warm tinkling sounds, a squelchy edge and some nicely effected spoken sounding pieces, and we basically have the formula for a bit of a leftfield monster. Like something from yesteryear, yet sounding fresh - this melodic techno monster will do nicely thank you very much. Clever sound phrases and vocals throughout complete the picture and create a cleverly worked piece of club music to see out this two-track masterpiece release from Some Of & Moon-Sun.

Starting to establish their credentials thru the regular output of quality productions via various well-known labels has endeared them to a wide array of dance music loving folk. The duo's latest outing, showcases their talents, by taking them a step further to round off this brilliant underground crowd pleaser. Another essential ICONYC release from the heart, for the dance loving soul. Some Of & Moon-Sun 'Waiting EP' sees a worldwide release on December 23rd, 2022 exclusively via ICONYC and Beatport.
