After an incredible year from which Meanwhile continued to release a panoply of stellar music, GMJ & Matter’s imprint begins 2022 in scintillating fashion. Now, with a quarter century of releases under its belt, Matter returns to the label with his second original EP in the shape of the 3-track, “Banksia”.

After an incredible 2021, culminating with the November release of his debut “Starchild” album on Meanwhile Horizons, numerous collaborations with production partner in crime, GMJ, and over 1 million Spotify streams, the Melbourne based DJ and producer begins the year with a musical vignette of the highest quality.

Opening proceedings, the title track is a glorious piece of trademark progressive house from the Matter production studio. As mesmerising as it is powerful, an immaculately syncopated percussive and melodic groove combine in joyous harmony as a repeated motif waxes and wanes with filtered ease, backed by thumping beat and rumbling bassline. Huge white-noise swells herald new sonic phases as “Banksia” builds to a powerful crescendo post-breakdown in a spine-tingling second half.

Continuing the deep rolling groove of its predecessor, a seismic kick and head-shaking bass pattern form the foundations for “Burnout”. A trademark swathe of filtered synth motifs soon come to the fore amongst waves of gently pulsing white-noise risers, before an Underworld-esque breakdown of bassline prowess and hands-in-the-air synths explode into a third movement. Containing all the characteristics for a club-friendly stormer, “Burnout” is sure to fill festival floors over the antipodean summer.

The third track sees “Magic Rooms” complete the triptych with its shimmering arp and swung hi-hats. Working together in perfect synchronicity, a bassline sequence adds subtle urgency and low-end power before an evolving suite of synth elements combines in a magical symphony of sound that rises and falls in counterpoint glory. A characteristic bevy of reverb-soaked white-noise effects add to the sonic dynamism as the track opens up post-breakdown into a stunning arrangement of production know-how and sonic mastery.

A career that continues to blossom with each successive release, “Banksia” finds Matter coming into bloom once again with an iridescent pattern of musical verve.

Cid Inc's Replug Records welcomes Nopi back to the label for his first solo project. Ukrainian artist Nopi brings a surreal beauty to his innovative brand of electronic composition. His colourful synth leads, exotic percussive arrangements and smooth, dancefloor minded grooves have made for a sound that is all his own. Emerging in 2019, Nopi has enjoyed a three-year creative swell, earning the praise of electronic music tastemakers such as Behrouz, Guy J, Lee Burridge, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sebastian Leger and more; while All Day I Dream, Do Not Sit and TRYBESof have served as landing spots for his transcendent sound. Having made his Replug debut in 2020 with a collaborative project alongside progressive music star Dmitry Molosh, Nopi now returns to the trailblazing imprint for his first solo effort entitled ‘Nature In The Home'. 

Continuing to tread the waters between progressive and organic house, Nopi leans closer to the former on first track ‘Nature In The Mountains After Mushrooms'. A dizzying dance floor slam powered by potent kick drums and hyperspace effects. Rather than burst into a whirlwind or electronic symphony, Nopi delivers tension through slow burn repetition, dodging expectations and emphasizing his conceptual charm, painting bucolic scenes of solitude, as hypnagogic effects unveil a semi-conscious dreamland, before the Ukrainian's creative attitude reveals itself during an interlude of colourful synth swagger and mesmerizing progression. 

Beneath the powerful tidal waves of 'Nature In The Mountains After Mushrooms' lies the spellbinding realities of 'Mistake Forest'. Packed to the hilt with drama and emotion, its adventurous spirit is something Nopi relishes in, as he flexes a trance-inducing side of his studio repertoire. A genuine exchange of melody and texture provide the narrative, where themes of introspection and hope get translated by fuzzed out vocal fragments, thought-provoking musicality and machine-gun style grooves. 

Continuing on a similar monochrome are the nostalgic qualities of the collection's final selection 'Capadocia'. Profoundly idyllic, it's a composition that further cements Nopi's elusive vision, as its buoyant beginnings morph into a meditative, consciousness-expanding conversion of musical ideas. Dark rebounding rhythms and rolling basslines set the course for rustic hooks, prismatic effects and metallic arps, which ultimately puts a stamp on this thematic collection from one of progressive music's rising mavericks.

An artist with a double century of production credits to his name, Gaston Ponte returns to Particles with his "Dark Side" EP. Responsible for an impressive body of work on the likes of Balkan Connection, Massive Harmony Records and Clinique Recordings, the Argentinean debuted on Particles in mid-2022 with his "Accelerated" EP. The title track is an immaculately crafted affair with dominant kick and percussive effects that jump out of the mix. A deft bassline sequence that pans the stereo spectrum and atmospheric pads create a subtle unease as "Dark Side" develops with a glorious melodic progression. Full of dancefloor energy, it evolves at the breakdown and into the second half with easy skill and poise. Full of dark intent, "Dexter" continues the melodic narrative of its partner track as immaculately cadenced motifs sit perfectly against a chunky rhythmic backdrop. Full of intelligently placed spot effects and club-friendly breakdown riser, the track erupts into the second half with huge growling bassline and beautifully sculpted arpeggio. Driving the track to its powerful conclusion, Gaston Ponte's skill and craftsmanship is in full evidence.

A name familiar to the Proton Music fanbase, Petar Dundov has carved out a reputation for distinctive and innovative production work from banks of analogue equipment operated out of his Zagreb studio. A veteran of Bedrock, DAYS like NIGHTS and microCastle, the Croatian's work for Proton Music and Particles has resulted in a raft of original tracks and remixes that include the "Salvation" and "Spark" EPs plus reworkings for Chihaka, Simos Tagias and Desaturate. The Petar Dundove remix of "Dark Side" is thus a dramatic and original interpretation with a trademark metronomic energy driven by relentless beat and woodblock infused percussive pattern. Intelligently using the main themes of the original, trademark arpeggiated patterns emerge before a uniquely cadenced new motif appears at the breakdown. Building once more into the second half, all elements combine to create a distinctive and highly impressive offering.

A relatively new artist to enter the underground dance arena, Hobin Rude has already found himself at the forefront of the progressive house scene with his work AH Digital, Future Avenue and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, since a June 2020 debut for I AM DIFFERENT. Now making his Particles debut, the Serbian artist has created a powerful rhythmic backdrop for his remix of "Dexter" that bristles with dark energy. A pulsating bassline adds to the sonic collage as the arpeggio central to the original, filters into range amidst fizzing white-noise swells and a panoply of effects that come to the fore at the mid-point. Building to a deep crescendo, the dense rhythmic foundation then enters the fray once more as the track seamlessly glides towards its conclusion.

Showcasing talent and technique in equal measure, Gaston Ponte reveals his "Dark Side" with help from Petar Dundov and Hobin Rude.
