What a track. Absolutely nailed the atmospheric feel.

Opening a new chapter in an already leading best-seller, GMJ & Matter launch a companion label to sit alongside their peerless Meanwhile imprint. Through Meanwhile Horizons, the Australian duo are set to focus on a more melodic and considered dancefloor sound with a liberal smattering of downtempo and chillout music.

A debut release sees a stunning quartet of artists take centre stage on “Beyond the Horizon”. Opening the EP, Maddy Hughes once again takes his renowned and revered Funkform moniker into the limelight with “Cosmosis”. Beautifully imagined, delicate textures and sonic waves wash over each other in delicious harmony as subtle motifs emerge out the aural collage. Building in delicate intensity, a chunky beat and airy percussive groove sit atop the 9-minute piece as the second half opens up with glittering arpeggio and an immaculate wall of sound.

Co-label founder, Matter, once again delivers another stunning performance with “Air Sand”, the first single from his forthcoming debut album on Meanwhile Horizons. A veteran of countless high-profile releases on the likes of Anjunadeep, Balance and Proton Music, the Australian provides a powerful backdrop of thumping beat and ticking percussive overlay as a rolling groove creates the foundation for an evolving array of sounds to blossom in the 10-minute sonic excursion. Always keeping the dancefloor in mind, a club-friendly middle section is a progressive house masterclass of layered melodies, vocal breaths and hypnotic plucked motif. Sandwiched either side by waves of atmosphere and texture, “Air Sand” is another Matter gem.

A stalwart of the progressive house scene for 8 years, Rafa’EL is another artist with a rich seam of high-profile releases to his name for the likes of Balkan Connection, Univack and Electronic Tree. Now making his mark on Meanwhile Horizons, “Julie” is a fluid, progressive house jewel that glitters through use of sparkling arpeggio and sumptuous free-flowing pads. The most recognisable club-friendly track of the EP, a strong rhythmic framework anchors the track while synthesised vocal sounds pitch delicately against layers of counterpoint motifs to create a spell-binding debut.

Debuting his new ambient and downtempo soubriquet, Meanwhile supremo, GMJ presents Qiam on the final track of the release. Already an iconic name within the underground dance fraternity with scores of best-selling releases on blue-chip imprints, “Dadradah” is a gloriously imagined track brim full of emotion and atmosphere. Within a beatless structure, thickly textured pads dominate as an emotionally charged bassline sustains throughout. Building to a spine-tingling crescendo over its 6-minute duration, a filtered arpeggio sequence opens up as delicate string motifs had further intensity in the final stages.

Stretching out into a golden dawn, “Beyond the Horizon” showcases an increasingly bright new future.

MEETING MOLLY Blueprint

The latest release from Clubsonica Records welcomes Sebastian Busto back to the label for his debut EP. Widely regarded for crafting the deep and progressive spectrums of house, the Buenos Aires resident has long been a favourite of world class DJs Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. His groovy yet musical approach to the genre has seen the Argentine compile an impressive resume, highlighted by releases on Proton's Particles, Sudbeat Music and The Soundgarden. No stranger to Clubsonica, Sebastian played a role in the label's formative years, recording two well-received remixes across 2016 and 2017. Now, on the strength of a contribution to Sudbeat's 'Showcrates' 11 collection earlier this year, Sebastian makes a welcome return to Clubsonica with 'Chaos Theory | Sanctuary', alongside remixes from Dmitry Molosh and Andres Moris.

EP opener 'Chaos Theory' finds Sebastian operating at the peak of his creative powers. Fuelled by rhythm and groove; its smooth swing-heavy basslines and flickering percussive arrangements resonate on a transcendent level. Fluid and energetic across the first movement, Sebastian continues his stylized ways with timely chord changes and fluttery motifs creating a colourful path into the main break. Sitting comfortably in an emotive yet thought provoking space, broken beats melt away into a calming vortex of melody and colour as the interlude evolves, eventually spearheading a groove-centric drop and smooth finale. Meanwhile, the companion piece 'Sanctuary' lands with an equally impressive display of craftsmanship, as Sebastian reaffirms his progressive music prowess, planting multiple explosions of serotonin through transcendent melodies, vocal overlays and balmy atmospherics. Clever co-actions make for a break that is both poignant and otherworldly, flowing through glassy motifs and cascading melodies, before confidently returning to the groove for a sweeping aerial finale

Returning to the label and providing the lone interpretation of 'Chaos Theory' is Dmitry Molosh. The Belarus based producer sits firmly in progressive music's elite class of artists, showcasing his creations via Cid Inc's Replug Records, Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, Nick Warren's Hope Recordings and Balance Music. 2022 has continued Dmitry's chart dominance, with his latest Deepwibe Underground vehicle 'Resistance' enjoying a six-week run near the top of Beatport's progressive house section. Now, following a remix for Kostya Outta's 'Imagine', Dmtiry returns to Clubsonica with a thrilling take on 'Chaos Theory'. While maintaining the uplifting spirit of the original, the Belarusian artist crafts a sweeping sonic experience all his own, a peak-time journey into a progressive wonderland, where flowing grooves and fresh designs surface from their uniquely crafted architecture, onwards to a finale of thumping grooves and harmonic refrains.

The release concludes with Andres Moris with the lone interpretation of 'Sanctuary'. Based in Argentina, Andres Moris has been one of progressive music's more prolific remixers over the last two calendar years. With a contribution to Meanwhile's 'Excursions' Vol. 2 collection highlighting the summer season, Andres now makes his Clubsonica debut with a powerful take on 'Sanctuary'. Warm and inviting throughout; its re-shaped low end provides a funkier anchor for balmy effects and heavenly sonics to work their magic. A blissful centrepiece sits at the heart of the journey, highlighted by evolving atmospherics and bulbous bass swells, which perfectly set the stage for a transcendent finale. A gorgeous interpretation from Andres, which rounds out an excellent artist EP for Sebastian Busto, another one of Argentina's trend-setting progressive producers who continues to stake his claim as one of the genre's best.

Weaving a magical spell on Proton Music, the twin-track "Divine" EP was another notable highlight in the career of Italian producer Andrea Cassino. Heating up the northern hemisphere autumn with its warm melodic sequences, Yin and Yang return to the track with remixes from Turkey and Dubai.

An accomplished DJ with residencies across the Middle East at Pacha Ibiza Dubai and Trilogy, Indian producer Ejaz Ahamed is an artist who oozes charisma with his sets alongside Maceo Plex, Sasha and a guest mix for John Digweed on "Transitions 610." Establishing a production career has been met with no less success as Ejaz continues to carve out an impressive portfolio with a clutch of releases on the likes of Hexagon Recordings, Qilla and PHW Elements. 

Already taking time out to remix Erdi Irmak's "The Hit" for Yin in July 2017, Ejaz Ahamed now follows up with a reworking of "Divine" that bears all the hallmarks of his distinctive club-oriented sound. A chugging bass groove provides the foundation with a cleverly programmed rhythmic framework wrapped around it. Developing gently, a swathe of white noise effects and intricate percussive cadence bookend a gloriously stripped back breakdown that glitters with Cassino's distinctive melodic motifs to provide a strong aural stamp to Ahamed's "Divine" reworking.
