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.

Aphex Twin - Stone In Focus

Coldplay - Midnight (Jon Hopkins Remix)

Sometimes in life we are granted the luck of feeling love. Those of us who have had that feeling - that aliveness, that sparkle, that feeling of being caught up in a current bigger than yourself, something divine - have been given something special to keep only as our own.

Our life is made of our memories. As Watts himself put it; "The Eternal Now". This. Here. Now. This is where we live. And our memories with us. Our special things to remember.

And each is its own. You can call it up at your pleasure. And to become emotional when you realise all the Good this life has given you - this is important. It means life, in all its serendipitous glory, has touched you.

It has found you and given you something to live for. Something to smile about it. Something made for you. Something to remember. 

When you find yourself in one of those moments, study it, stay inside it. Soak it in. It will be over when it's over. And then store that memory. 

Relive it. Laugh about it. Bask in it. Cherish it. For it means that you have been given: something to remember.

Melancholic cooldowner for rainy autumndays, to gratefully remember all the beauty life has in store.

.Midnight Memory

This one is to the stars…to their fire, to the darkness that surrounds them. 
This one is to the place somewhere between time and space - to the eternal nøw.

Sometimes we loose sight of our dreams, we can’t see love, we get lost in space, we loose track of time. Sometimes everything seems dark but looking closer the sky holds little diamonds sparkling back at us, reminding us that time and space are illusions. Enormous Galaxies around us being lightmiles away and still visiting us every night reminding us to shine brightest when it’s dark. This is where we belong inside the moving night.

Sometimes it’s in human form, sometimes it’s the ocean hugging you, sometimes it’s a butterfly reminding you of how beautiful change can be. 
The past, the present and the future in one moment, the now. Every moment now and new. Give a hug to a friend, a smile to a stranger and be reminded, that love lives within us. Nøw . More Amore por favore - spread the light 🙏🏼

Build and recorded during the rising moon and the morning sun. For tracklist please comment.
