A welcome returning figure to the Meanwhile Roster, Mike Rish is no stranger to success. With numerous cross-genre hits under multiple aliases, his own name sees him reach rarefied heights in the Progressive House genre with work signed to Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music, Guy J’s Lost & Found and Praveen Achary’s Juicebox Music.

December 2021 saw a Meanwhile debut with the sublime 3-track “Beyond” EP, while April 2023 witnessed a standout reworking of Jamie Stevens’ “Storm Front”. Returning for a second outing, his latest triple tracker opens with the funky rhythmic backdrop of “GT”. Using an intricate percussive arrangement to provide a club-friendly foundation, a swathe of stereo-panned textures and synth effects meander across the opening movements, accompanied by delay-infused vocal cuts. A smooth arpeggio adds a touch of traditional progressive drive at the breakdown and beyond, while a further synth motif blossoms in the second half to sit alongside the rasping and explosive bassline.

Continuing the effects-laden narrative, “Shoreditch Funk” quickly makes its mark with a woodblock infused percussive top-line. Stereo-panned pads and saw-tooth synths pulsate in dizzying fashion while a grooved bassline adds dancefloor ‘funk’. A cascading arp makes its presence felt, pitching in freeform oscillator glory at the break, before continuing unabated in detuned fashion throughout the second half. The result is a vibrant sonic collage that bristles with verve and innovation.

The final track witnesses another meticulously conceived rhythmic arrangement throughout “Reka”, with a subtle bass sequence providing dancefloor sensibilities alongside a heavy 4/4 beat. An acetylene-torch lead mesmerises with its glissando phrasing while a glassy motif combines with gently pulsing pads that swim enticingly in smooth juxtaposition. Continuing themes redolent in previous outings, a beautifully imagined synth phrase syncopates in exquisitely cadenced rhythm alongside percussive counterparts. “Reka” then evolves into a delicately conceived melodic jewel in the latter stages.

“GT / Shoreditch Funk / Reka” continues to find Mike Rish very much at the leading edge of modern and pioneering Progressive House.

With SUN247, the Hungarian producers Heaven INC. and Ákos Győrfy invite us on a compelling journey through the atmospheric and emotional spectrum of progressive house. Across three distinctive tracks, the release unfolds like a soundtrack to a cosmic voyage – deep, powerful, and full of contrast.

The opener "Stratosphere" by Heaven INC. immediately lifts off with driving beats and radiant melodic energy. Its spacious textures and sweeping synths evoke a sense of weightlessness – as if ascending through shimmering layers of sound into the upper sky.

The journey continues with "Cosmos", a collaboration between Heaven INC. and Ákos Győrfy. Here, the energy becomes darker and more hypnotic. Deep basslines, futuristic textures, and immersive atmospheres collide in a soundscape that feels like navigating uncharted interstellar space – cold, vast, and beautiful.

To close the release, Heaven INC. deliver the introspective "The Darkest Night" – a track that winds the experience down with dreamy pads and a slow-burning groove. It's the perfect afterglow: warm, melancholic, and contemplative, like watching the stars emerge after a long night of dancing.

Behind these tracks stand two rising forces in the progressive scene. Heaven INC., a Budapest-based duo, are known for their melodic sensibility and emotional depth. With releases on respected imprints like Freegrant Music and 90watts, they continue to shape their unique sound between progressive house and deep techno. Ákos Győrfy, also from Hungary, is a versatile producer whose work blends organic textures with modern sound design – his releases on RUNE Recordings and Polyptych Limited speak to his talent for creating rich, cinematic grooves.

SUN247 captures the spirit of both artists – blending emotion, energy, and imagination into a cohesive and unforgettable experience.
