PREMIERE: Juan Beldarrein - Viaje A Venus (Ignacio Torne Remix)Massive Harmony Records

Even though Callecat is relatively new to the scene, the Dutch duo have been making a rapid rise to recognition with their continuous high quality output. The maturity of their productions would make you believe they've been around for many years already.

Now returning on Paul Hazendonk's MNL label after last years well received 'Cabin In The Woods' EP and- more recently- their remix for Brann's single 'With No Mask', they delight us with two powerful pieces of progressive house; 'Akrasia' and 'The Alchemist'.

On remix duties we've got industry veterans K Loveski and Namatjira sharing their unique vision on both songs.

Thomas Compana is a brand new name in the scene. The Hungarian artist hits the ground running as the releases his debut EP on Francesco Pico's infamous Magnitude Recordings.

Both 'Mando' and 'The Child' are high quality progressive house cuts that will make the dancefloor moving without a doubt and if that's enough Francesco has invited one of his personal favorite artists, Chook, on remix duties.

A promising debut by Thomas Compana. Keep an eye out for this guy!

An iconic figure within the underground dance fraternity for over a decade, Rich Curtis makes his Meanwhile debut with an iconic track in the shape of “Square Root (’21 Salute)”.

Rich Curtis has been a regular on an array of blue-chip labels over the course of a stellar career which has seen releases on Sudbeat Music, Tulipa Recordings, Proton Music and Replug. Indeed, it was the Cid Inc. owned imprint that Curtis made his 2010 debut with “Square Root”. Now reprising the track with a 2022 makeover, the “(’21 Salute)” is a rich and textured affair that retains all the melodic hallmarks of the original while updating the sound with beautifully woven new motifs and sparking arpeggio. Sounding bright and warm in the spring sun, Rich Curtis has breathed new life into his renowned track.

Another artist with an impressive portfolio of music to his name and reputation to match, Alex O’Rion has found his work allied to a host A-list imprints including the likes of Replug, Sudbeat Music and Guy J’s Lost & Found. A regular contributor to Meanwhile with 2021’s “Echium” EP and remixes for GMJ & Matter’s “Gauntlet”, The Dutch master returns to the label with a typically evocative offering. Making beautiful use of Curtis’ original components they are complemented with a slew of additional production material that extends his remix with spine-tingling new melodies that blossom in the breakdown and second half. A hefty rhythmic backdrop and ticking percussive groove add further to the powerful new interpretation.

Returning to remix duties on their ever-growing and increasingly popular label, GMJ & Matter once again feature on Meanwhile with a dazzling new reworking. Continuing an illustrious run of original and remix production credits that have helped shape their label, the Australian duo have cemented their reputation as elite progenitors of the modern progressive house sound. Sprinkling magic dust all over “Square Root (’21 Salute)”, a trademark groove immediately provides dancefloor desirability while new melodic patterns wander in beautifully coruscating patterns across the 8-minute plus offering. Themes resonant with Rich Curtis’ original are infused throughout, but GMJ & Matter’s skill is to turn them into distinct variations that evolve and develop with gloriously textured soundscapes.

The final remix sees Luka Sambe return to Meanwhile. An artist with a triple century of production credits to his name dating back to 2013, Luka Sambe has seen his reputation and stature grow strongly in equal measures. Winning plaudits for releases on a string of high-profile labels, music for Balance Music, Lost & Found and Sudbeat Music has seen the Australian consistently find himself in the upper echelons of the progressive and organic house charts. Now following up September 2020’s “Alive is the Meaning” and the “Spy Games” EP on Meanwhile Horizons a year later, the Luka Sambe remix glistens with a silky melodic sheen that sees its origins in Rich Curtis’ original while intelligently creating a new path. Familiar arpeggios shimmer atop pulsating new pads and twinkling synth phrases that come to the fore at the breakdown before opening up in the third movement. A deep sub-bass groove and flowing rhythmic backdrop complete a mesmerising sonic picture.

With a stellar cast on display including Alex O’Rion, GMJ & Matter and Luka Sambe, Rich Curtis and his “Square Root (’21 Salute)” EP is so much more than the sum of its individual parts.

Juicebox Music's 60th release sees Claudio Cornejo making his debut release on our imprint. Better known under the outfit - Analog Jungs alongside Gustavo Ruarte, Claudio Cornejo's solo project kickstarted in 2010 through multiple collaborations with fellow Argentinian - Antrim. The Cordoba-based artist's discography boasts of associations with labels such as DJ Zombi's 'Beat Boutique', Juan Pablo Torrez' 'Clubsonica', Mango's 'Mango Alley' and Antrim's 'Or Two Strangers' to name a few. Claudio Cornejo now presents his latest offering via Juicebox Music featuring "Sahura" and "Ramses", both armed with powerful grooves, driving basslines, haunting atmospheres and melodic lines that vividly paint an arabesque theme, transporting the listener to those mysterious and ancient times.

To remix Claudio Cornejo's "Sahura", we welcome back our Bangalore (India) based label resident - Weird Sounding Dude, better known to his friends and family as Abhijith Hegde. Hot off the press with his releases on Hernan Cattaneo's 'Sudbeat', Nick Warren's 'The Soundgarden', GMJ and Matter's 'Meanwhile Horizons', Madraas' 'Where The Shadow Ends' and the UK powerhouse 'Anjunadeep', Weird Sounding Dude's music has become a fan-favourite to many, traversing between the deeper organic house space to the driving progressive universe. Returning to Juicebox Music after his remix of Bachir Salloum's "Of Time and Space" and his 5-track EP "Arcade", Weird Sounding Dude injects his smooth signature sound into "Sahura" whilst keeping the theme intact.

Another artist returning to the imprint is Konstantin Petrov, better known to everyone as K Loveski. The Saint Petersberg (Russia) native and WARPP club resident made his debut on our imprint through his collaborative "Lost In Roses" EP with Kabi (AR) back in late 2021. Highlights of his decade long works include being released on Nick Warren's 'The Soundgarden' imprint + Nick's compilation for 'Balance Music', Francesco Pico's 'Magnitude Recordings' and Sonic Union's 'Lowbit Records' to name a few. K Loveski's effervescent attitude reflects in his sound bringing life and positivity to every track he touches and that's exactly what he's done with his remix of Claudio Cornejo's "Ramses", switching up the mood and generating an irresistible vibe.

Following the success of August 2021’s debut compilation series, and a first volume featuring six original tracks from a stellar cast of international talent, GMJ & Matter now return with a thoroughbred 10-track sequel in “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2”.

Presenting a global dance party with artists from across the continents, from North and South America to Europe, Australasia and Asia, the second instalment of the “Meanwhile Excursions” series combines an array of established talent with up-and-coming nubreed artists who shine a bright light on the progressive house genre.

Opening with the deep bass groove of “Negev”, Colombian star, Golan Zocher, and label head-honcho, GMJ, blend their talent with a delicate ambience that shimmers across its 8-minute time fame with textured pads and flowing soundscape. Mango Alley favourite, Forty Cats continues with the smooth sounds of “Mutualism” as hypnotic rhythms and bass groove propel things forwards, while Andrés Moris creates club-friendly force via “Owen’s Dream”. Full of emotive chords progressions and twinkling arpeggios, a pulsating bassline makes for a beautifully assured debut.

Redolent in intricate percussive groove and juxtaposed with sumptuous synth arrangement, Tonaco’s “Setentrional” is a rhythmic tour de force that only pauses for breath at the beatless breakdown, while Dowden’s first of two offerings is a typically impressive offering with “Halstatt” glittering via earworm motif that melds with freeform counterpoint sequence as it evolves through a flurry of white-noise fills and mesmerising presence.

A slow-burning jewel that combines strong rhythmic force with running bassline presence, “Retro” finds Ivan Aliaga showcasing an evolving melodic tapestry that waxes and wanes with ease, while “Misanthropy” is another rhythm-fuelled affair that demonstrates why NOIYSE PROJECT is a name currently on the lips of the progressive cognoscenti with his club-friendly groove and ear for melodic emotion. Moving forwards, the low-slung groove of EMPHI’s “The Box” helps to generate a brooding wall of sound that builds in tension-filled phases that rise and fall in ever-evolving synth work and stereo-panned white-noise effects.

The second track from Dowden see him join forces with Meanwhile’s other co-founder as the immaculate production credentials of Matter see beautiful piano phrases glitter across “York”, fully exposed at the mid-point where reverb-drenched and delay-soaked chords vie for space with a dynamic rhythmic backdrop and ticking hi-hat percussion. Ending as it starts, smooth melodic patterns flow from the fingertips of Gorkiz and Distro in cascading layers of dreamy sonic passages that create a coruscating mosaic of sound atop the blistering rhythmic energy of “Staring at the Sun”.

A 10-track trip through the sound of modern progressive house, “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2” is a journey to remember.
