Returning for a 24th appearance on the Meanwhile imprint he carefully curates with his fellow countryman, GMJ delivers yet another slice of progressive heaven with “Feel Inside / Living Memory”.

As we approach the end of the year, GMJ is in reflective mood for his final original EP of 2024. After a stellar year which has seen a steady flow of 24-carat gold music on such celebrated imprints as Balance Music, Vapour Recordings, Proton Music and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden, the Melbourne-resident continues to deliver equally stunning new music on the Meanwhile and Meanwhile Horizons imprints he owns with production partner, Matter.

The opener finds “Feel Inside” providing a magical rhythmic backdrop that bristles with vibrancy alongside a cavernous sub-bassline groove. Chock full of bubbling dancefloor dynamism, a metallically cadenced synth pattern filters in and out of prominence while a looped vocal phrase repeats over the rhythmic collage before revealing itself more fully at the breakdown. Building once more, the hefty beat drops back into the rolling percussive hi-hats and metallic synth phrase to create a storming club-friendly colossus.

Written when his grandfather passed away earlier in the year, “Living Memory” serves as a tribute to a life well-lived and a much-loved character. As Gavin so eloquently puts it, “he is always alive as an inspiration in my memories for both his musical prowess and the person he was.” Redolent in the same rolling rhythmic backdrop as its partner track, immaculately placed woodblock percussion adds to the driving vitality. Providing easy juxtaposition, a beautiful piano sequence is soon introduced which suffuses the track with a contemplative air and effortless beauty. Waxing and waning fluently over its near 9-minute timeframe, a complementary synth motif builds through the breakdown before breathy vox pads and the earlier piano provide a latticework of sounds that find GMJ in majestic form with a perfect sonic tribute.

Hitting another high watermark with two powerful original works, GMJ is at his peerless best with “Feel Inside / Living Memory”.

Starting the new year off with a sonic celebration, the iconic figure of Patch Park makes his Meanwhile debut with the 3-track "Control / Night Shower / Don't Hold Back".

A Dutch master with a celebrated career stretching back over two decades, Patch Park has been at the forefront of the underground dance scene since the mid-2000s. As accomplished behind the decks as he is in the studio, performances at such celebrated venues as Extrema, Solar Weekend, Amnesia and The Loft, alongside the likes of Joris Voorn, Eelke Kleijn, Patrice Bäumel and Hernan Cattaneo, has cemented an impressive reputation among fans and peers alike.

In tandem, a century of production credits has graced some of the finest independent dance music labels that include the likes of Global Underground, Renaissance and Yoshitoshi. After recently reappearing on District Rec with a massive EP featuring a chart-topping remix by Guy J, Patch Park now finds his way onto GMJ & Matter's esteemed imprint, delivering a musical triptych of the highest order. Full of majestically conceived sonic arrangements and innovative production techniques, "Control" opens with a mesmerising synth note and evolving bass pattern against a ticking percussive groove. A heavy kick adds to a club-friendly vibe as a spoken vocal repeats the title. Evolving in waves of sounds, a gently pulsating breakdown provides a pause for breath before the huge bass pattern emerges once more alongside soaring chord progressions and magical counterpoint melody.

"Night Shower" continues the hypnotic bass narrative as a running sequence creates intensity and vibrancy aplenty. Familiar analogue synth tones redolent in reverb and delay, wax and wane in intensity creating a cross between Sasha and Kraftwerk as whip-cracking kick, 808-clap and off-beat hats add to the percussive dynamism. Full of panache, vitality and a classy production sound, a pitched vocal sample creates a further spellbinding touch.

With its chunky rhythmic foundation, "Don't Hold Back" gradually filters into sonic range with a beautifully sculpted bass pattern and plucked synth line that nestles alongside in perfect syncopation. Rising to a second movement crescendo, the track hits its straps at the mid-point with a rare combination of driving intensity and melodic beauty. Full of the production credentials that have made Patch Park such a renowned figure, breathy vocals and rhythmic vigour add further to a truly impressive offering.

A welcome debutant to the Meanwhile family, Patch Park excels with a powerful new wall of sound on "Control / Night Shower / Don't Hold Back".

Federico Cabrera Feat. Ma Aura - Now is Now (Alto Astral Remix) [Droid9]

larrosa (ar) & nico sparvieri - influences (mike griego remix)

An artist with a rich and impressive pedigree, Mike Rish returns to Meanwhile with a triple-tracker of exceptional quality in "Sunset on Mars / Tornn / Shokl".

A Melbourne native with a strong back catalogue stretching back over 15 years, Mike Rish's debut quickly became a starting point for a successful career, predominantly focused on the sound of Progressive House. Since 2009, the Australian has gone on to see his music featured on the likes of Vapour Recordings, Anjunadeep and Guy J's Lost & Found, while a trio of EPs for Meanwhile between 2021 and 2024 have seen Mike Rish sparkle with a collection of beautifully crafted original sonic sculptures. Now returning for the first time since August 2024's "Akhnaton / Gröv / Cloudbreaker" triumph, 3 new original tracks take centre stage.

The compelling "Sunset on Mars" opens with a thumping beat and smooth percussive top-line before a swathe of effects-laden synths percolate the soundwaves with rich delays and reverb. A powerful bassline adds dancefloor urgency while an evocative arp filters its way to the foreground through the second movement. Rising and falling with club-friendly knowhow, the track gradually picks up pace before entering the second half full of punchy bravado. Immaculately constructed, "Sunset on Mars" is an aural triumph.

Continuing the powerful rhythmic character of its predecessor, "Tornn" is a thumping, chugging bassline monster that rolls seductively across its 7-minute timeframe. Endless delays and effects swim across the stereo spectrum in swirling atmospheres as vocal snippets talk of remembered dreams and an eerily pitched menace. Evolving easily through its phases, the second half comes to life as bassline and rhythmic prowess take control across the shape-shifting soundscapes.

Opening with a strong tribal rhythm and subtle jungle-themed effects and bird calls, another chorus of reverb-drenched effects and delays across a smorgasbord of vocal cuts, provide a beautiful dub-inspired atmosphere. Coming to the fore at the stripped-back breakdown with expansive ease, Mike Rish gently picks up the pace through the second half to create and intriguing and dynamic listening environment through his sublime layering of vocal elements.

Returning to the label that is fast becoming a second home, Mike Rish delights Meanwhile listeners with "Sunset on Mars / Tornn / Shokl".
