A talented and prolific artist, Nōpi returns to Meanwhile with a second original EP in the shape of the 3-track masterpiece, "Stri;la".

A rising Ukrainian star in the underground dance firmament, Nōpi has featured in the upper echelons of the Progressive and Organic House charts with a plethora of tracks signed to finest modern imprints. Replug, When We Dip XYZ and Anjunadeep have all played host to his distinctive and mellifluous tones, while Meanwhile also saw Nōpi release a twin-track offering of the highest order in January 2021 with his "Spoon Light" EP.

The "Stri;la" title track immediately excites with its powerful rhythmic backdrop and driving beat. A running bassline soon adds to the overall urgency while trademark atmospheric keys float over the mid-range in unhurried fashion. The juxtaposition between free-flowing melodies and rapid-fire percussion creates a delicious tension, before a glorious breakdown displays a wealth of textures, effects and atmospheres. Building into a rousing crescendo, the final movement explodes into life with a cascading array of harmonies and dynamic dancefloor prowess.

Continuing the powerful rhythmic force, "Stay" combines chest-thumping kick and ticking percussive groove, while underwater effects and mesmerising looped motif create a filtered sequence that resonates with tape delay and panned ambient effects. Bearing all the hallmarks of The Future Sound of London during their "Dead Cities" era, Nōpi has successfully captured an iconic sound while simultaneously advancing it into the modern progressive zeitgeist with a plethora of attendant organic house influences and multi-faceted aural tapestry. The resultant piece is as distinctive as it is ingenious and sonically rewarding, both in club and solo listener environments.

The final track sees the deeper vibe of "My Prophet World" take centre stage. Playing host to a filtered bassline cadence and pulsating white-noise pads infused with delays, an evocative melody gradually emerges to sit perfectly atop the classy dancefloor backdrop. Over its 8-minute voyage an interwoven tapestry of pitched and delayed motifs fold over each other in coruscating patterns. Full of dancefloor knowhow and immaculate production technique, the track waxes and wanes with typical ease, hitting its mark at the 5-minute point where a magical pause provides the perfect vehicle for Nōpi's delightful melodic groove to take centre stage once more.

Able to paint a unique sonic picture with a canvas full of iridescent colour and vivid texture, Nōpi hits the heights once more with his "Stri;la" triptych.

Back for a further edition of his long-running series, Erdi Irmak provides listeners with a trio of new original tracks courtesy of his "Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 7".

Opener, "Mirai" is a silky smooth melodic gem that revolves around a delicately rolling rhythmic groove. Evolving elegantly, filtered melodies come to the sonic foreground where strings, piano and synth combine in melancholic majesty. Breathy vocals add a further wonderful touch in a track full of poise and creativity. "Sonzai" builds on the intelligent groove of its predecessor as rich piano chords create an air of sadness, complemented by a meandering string section. An acoustic guitar hook adds to the collage as the hypnotic rhythm section and heavy beat drive the track dynamically forwards. The third original track continues the musical narrative with a balance of muted synths and organic instrumentation through "Sekai". Clever answer and call phrases make their presence felt as a sustained string section adds depth and texture before a strong synth phrase cuts through the mid-range. The subtle development of melodic layers and hypnotic rhythm thus provide a unique and atmospheric piece.

A Peruvian artist of growing repute, Luis Léon is a master of cross-genre sounds that range between house, techno and ambient. Finding his music featured on such established imprints as Stripped Recordings, Nie Wieder Schlafen and Kindisch, a late 2021 Particles debut saw a remix of Jayden Klight's "Refraction" in collaboration with Haider Uppal. Now debuting on Proton Music, the Luis Léon remix of "In Depth" from Volume 6, makes exceptional use of a cluster of atmospheric and effected voices, while a chunky stepped rhythm provides a powerful anchor. A legato bassline adds depth while subtly pitched motifs and staccato synths add to the feel. Opening up in the second half, familiar motifs from Erdi Irmak's original can be heard but they are immaculately reinterpreted in new sonic directions with Luis Léon creating a powerful new interpretation.

An artist whose performances across the globe at the likes of Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle and the prestigious Rainbow Serpent Festival, have seen amháin delight audiences time and again. Simultaneously, the Irishman has seen a parallel rise to prominence through his production work for a host of labels including Meanwhile, Vapour Recordings and onedotsixtwo. A single remix for Proton Music in the shape of Michael A's "Silent Moments" is now joined by a delicate reworking of "Walls" that is a flowing river of sound; from the dark, rolling bassine undercurrents to the delicate synth ripples that meander across the surface with consummate ease. Anchored by a heavy beat and metronomic hi-hat pattern, amháin's skill is to majestically weave elements from Erdi Irmak's "Walls" into a cascading stream of new melodic elements that shimmer and sparkle through opulent delays and reverbs.

A musical maestro, Erdi Irmak provides a trio of new tracks with remixes coming from Luis Léon and amháin in "Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 7".
