Hitting the heights once more on their Meanwhile imprint, GMJ & Matter turn to the iconic figure of Navar for the label’s 38th release as he delivers his 3-track “Return of the Sun”.

A dazzling career that spans over a decade and a double century of releases, Navar has seen his music featured on the likes of Guy J’s Lost & Found, Cid Inc’s Replug and Eelke Kleijn’s Outside The Box Music.

Now returning to Meanwhile after his remix of Alex O’Rion’s “The Chase” in February 2022, the “Return of the Sun” title track is a compelling blend of rhythmic dynamism and trademark melodic prowess. Building over the course of its coruscating 9-minute voyage, elegant and flowing melodies drift atop a deep kick and shimmering hi-hats. Redolent in cascading delays, blissful warmth radiates through the sonic layers that pause briefly for breath at the two-thirds point, before picking up the pace in the latter stages in a work where new motifs enter the aural collage.

Opening with atmospheric pads and rippling effects, “Trips” slowly hits is stride with heavy beat and clicking percussive groove. A subtle and intelligent offering, delicate melodies play across the mid-range in syncopated delays while a seismic legato bassline pitches its way in lockstep with the rhythmic foundation. The result is a shimmering beauty that unexpectedly draws to a dramatic and vibrant conclusion with a new 16th note bassline groove in the final movement.

The aptly titled “Luminescence” concludes the triptych with a huge bassline groove and velvety synth line that scuds across the sonic landscape in stereo-panned glory. Stratified layers of sound make their play as twinkling keys and counterpoint motifs rise and fall in a beautifully woven tapestry. The result is the perfect juxtaposition of low-end vibrancy and majestic melodic touch that is a hallmark of the Navar production sound.

A renowned artist who has always shone brightly in the electronic music firmament, Navar glows incandescent with “Return of the Sun”.

AR035 Hyunji-A - Staggered Dominos
Hyunji-A, known as Hyunji Lee, is a Korean-Canadian music producer and DJ who
moved to Berlin from Montreal. Following years of achievements in the underground
dance scene, which earned her an international reputation, Hyunji-A is now debuting
with an avant-garde release on Armadillo Records. The three-track material
showcases her classical piano background, which she has cultivated since
childhood, alongside her electronic music expertise.
The first track, Staggered Dominos, blends 90s-inspired electronica with her
sensual vocals, prioritizing expressive interpretation and reflecting authentic human
experiences.
The centerpiece, Full of Empty Space, musically embodies the themes explored by
classic science fiction literature. This timeless yet futuristic composition offers a
meditative structure suitable for continuous listening.
The final piece, Goodnight Oppy, transitions from a dark introduction to an uplifting
atmosphere within the first minute, instilling a sense of utopian hope. Its psychedelic
and playful sound reintroduces a drum section and hypnotic rhythmic patterns,
enhanced by arpeggiated structures and improvisational piano segments that
elevate the overall experience.
With this release, Hyunji-A skillfully combines her classical roots with electronic
innovation, offering a thoughtful and dynamic exploration of her evolving sound.
