Navigating familiar Progressive House waters with confidence and purpose, GMJ & Matter’s Meanwhile imprint showcases six tracks from outstanding talents within the underground dance scene as they come together to explore “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 1”

First up, label head-honcho, GMJ, joins forces with fellow countryman and newly crowned Meanwhile resident, amháin. Through “Flux” the duo charts a familiar course through the progressive landscape with heavy beat and glorious rolling rhythm. Easing elegantly into its stride, a heavy bass groove plays its part as flowing pads and myriad spot effects tumble over each other to create a rich sonic blend. Subtle motifs add a textured layer post-breakdown in an impressive collaborative debut. Having already showcased his talent via the “Horizonz / Push Thru” EP, Imran Khan returns with the beautiful “Patterns of Loss”. Full of emotion and production flair, a familiar heavy kick and driving percussive cadence lay the foundations for an array of melodic strata to sit atop before a mesmerising arpeggio sparkles across the breakdown. Returning to its heavy rhythmic character in the second half, Imran Khan has created another 24-carat jewel.

A regular on Mango Alley in recent months, Forty Cats makes her Meanwhile debut with the hypnotic “Therapy”. Through a glittering array of white-noise effects and stereo-panned arpeggiated phrasing, the Russian artist combines a shimmering sonic palette that filters its way across 7-minutes. Waxing and waning with ease, a standout motif also appears at intermittent intervals to create a familiar aural echo on which to pin Forty Cats’ production prowess. Remixing GMJ’s “Mood Medicine” in June 2021, Paul Kardos returns with the dynamic and elegant “The Producella”. Immediately striking with its aural melange, a hefty kick transforms proceedings as an acetylene-edged lead cuts through shuffling percussive hats. Evolving powerfully, a counterpoint glissando melody provides a subtle shift in emphasis in the second half as Kardos creates a real head-turning track full of meticulous detail and technique.

Fresh from the success of “Deeper Dye”, another returning artist sees Paul Deep hit the heights with “Milo”. Full of trademark production credentials, a beautiful flowing melody ripples across the track, filtering in and out with ease while a metronomic kick and off-beat snare create rhythmic precision. Through a heady combination of rhythm and melody, Paul Deep has provided another seismic creation. The Indian continent is represented through the growing force of Weird Sounding Dude. Making his Meanwhile debut, “Wonderlife” is a charismatic offering that revels in layers of counterpoint arpeggio sequences that propels the track forward. Immaculately syncopated to the dynamic rhythmic foundation, the breakdown is a pause for new, dramatic melodies to come to the fore in inspiring fashion, before the rhythm and arpeggiated foundations drop back in.

“Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 1” provides an opportunity for a new voyage of discovery as artists from across the continents come together uniting in common musical purpose.

Release Info: 
Spring 2021 saw french producer / dj Marcan Liav release his acclaimed debut long-player "Sanctuary" and now just over a year later after much hard work behind the scenes we are proud present the first of four Sanctuary: Remixed EP's.

Remixed I see's five tracks from the album reworked by a stellar cast. Kicking things off is "Short Life" from Italian producer Sasha Carassi who has graced high calibre labels throughout his career including Bedrock, Drumcode, Diynamic, Knee Deep In Sound, ATLANT, KATERMUKKE, Sincopat, Selador and Renaissance to name a few.

"Oucha" receives the attention of the dynamic duo Nick Warren x Nicolas Rada put their stamp on the track, Nick of course needs no introduction as he is a bonafide legend with a career mostly spent at the forefront of club culture: he packs clubs and arenas worldwide from London to Buenos Aires to Burning Man, transfixing dancefloors with his distinctively forward blend of credible progressive sounds, deeper tunes, atmospheric layers and any other grooves he deems appropriate for his turntable. He is of course also one half of the legendary double act Way Out West. His remix alongside Argentinian star Nicolas Rada reflects both their dj and production styles perfectly. Nicolas has built up a strong reputation in his own right as a producer and dj. With Nick he has produced from labels such as Get Physical, The Soundgarden (Nick Warren's imprint), Happy Camper, and Manjumasi amongst others.

A regular fixture on the label Darkersound drops his treatment of the track "Bloody Heart". He's graced Stripped with some very accomplished works since his debut label debut in the summer of 2020.

Canadian duo Savage and SHē enhance their ever growing reputation with another accomplished remix this time for the track "Quantique". The duo have just had major success this year already with a collaborative EP on Crosstown Rebels w/ Made by Pete.

The fifth and final track rounding things off, we welcome Eric Volta who has taken on the track "Mister O". Eric who's eclectic style has seen him feature on labels such as All Day I Dream, No.19, Mobilee, Warung. A fitting track to round off this first of four Remix EP's.

Operating out of his Rosario home, Mariano Favre returns to Particles after a 13-year absence. A renowned name with releases on the likes of Manual Music, Perspectives Digital and Lowbit, the Argentinean artist delivers twin original tracks in "Abundance Mindset", while remixes come from a pair of fellow countrymen.

"Abundance" is a flowing progressive gem with head-shaking percussive top-line, deep-lying bassline groove and heavy kick laying dynamic foundations. Building through its phrases, a rippling arpeggio adds synth joy as epic pads and ethereal vox create additional sonic layers. Building to a powerful crescendo, the track drops back into its vibrant cadence and evocative melodic phrasing to mesmerising effect. "Mindset" continues the angelic vocal phrasing of its partner track as a driving rhythmic framework keeps the intensity high. Soaring synth phrases, spine-tingling arpeggios and plucked strings add to the aural collage at the breakdown before a rising wave of sound heralds a second half filled with dancefloor prowess. Rising and falling ease the track keeps listener intrigue high while a pulsating finale ensures worldwide club support.

Another returning artist sees Matias Chilano continue where he left off with a fourth remix for the label. 2018 saw a trio of reworkings for K Nass, Pysh and Andre Sobota before the Córdoba resident graduated onto Proton Music with new interpretations of Huminal, Erdi Irmak and Sebastian Sellares in 2019 and 2020. Re-establishing himself on Particles, the Matias Chilano remix takes "Abundance" in a trademark direction full of rhythmic prowess and production knowhow. Taking the central melodic themes of the original, a hefty bass groove powers forwards while airy juxtaposed synths sit atop, steeped in emotion. Wrapped in a crisp new rhythmic shell, a familiar arpeggio and swathe of effects criss-cross the stereo spectrum to create a potent and accomplished new interpretation.

An Argentinean artist to come to the attention of the progressive house cognoscenti, Mayro has risen in prominence over the past 4 years. A prolific artist with releases on the likes of Perspectives Digital, Traful and Siona Records, his "Crazy Thoughts" EP in June 2022, with remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente and Blanka Barbara, saw him make an impressive Particles debut. Now returning, the Mayro remix of "Mindset" is a chunky rhythmic powerhouse that bristles with cavernous bassline and shaker-fuelled percussive intensity. Melodic echoes from the original resonate through the 7-minute piece as a swathe of new production material gives the Mayro interpretation a darker and more contemplative ambience as new melodic patterns swirl in mesmerising patterns throughout the second half.

Through a plethora of new sonic imaginings, Mariano Favre has created an "Abundance Mindset", ably supported by Matias Chilano and Mayro.

Making his Meanwhile return on GMJ and Matter's first release of 2023, Ivan Aliaga presents his "Sami" EP where four original tracks combine with a single remix from Sebastian Sellares.

A growing Argentinean artist who first debuted on 3rd Avenue in mid-2019, Ivan Aliaga has already seen a swathe of releases featured on the likes of Mango Alley, Beat Boutique and onedotsixtwo. Returning after a July 2022 debut on "Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2", the "Sami" title track is a chunky rhythmic jewel that immediately captures the attention with its spot effects and steam-powered white noise fills. A muted melody gradually filters into range over its 8-minute as arpeggio and vocal cut add to the rich collage of sound. "Simetrica" continues the hefty rhythmic foundation as a panoply of delayed voices, whispered textures and strong bass groove add texture. Swooping pads add intrigue and a smooth progression at the breakdown creates emotion before the track explodes again in the second half.

The delicate arrangement of "Futura" quickly appeals with its atmospheric swells and beautiful melodies. A delayed motif provides a distant echo from Sasha's "Airdrawndagger", while a rapid-fire hi-hat pattern supplies dancefloor urgency. With metronomic rhythmic precision, the track continues with coruscating melodic ease in the second half to create a perfect juxtaposition. The final original track finds, "Animatica" evolving through use of pulsating pads and mirrored groove pattern. Hitting a rousing crescendo at the breakdown courtesy of ethereal pads and whispering voice, the driving rhythmic forces of earlier movements drives the track onwards to it conclusion.

A Meanwhile regular, April 2021's "Dunes at Dawn" EP and a pair of remixes sees Sebastian Sellares returns to the label after February 2022's remix of Alex O'Rion's "The Serpent". Reworking the title track, the Argentinean star makes intelligent use of the themes resonating through "Sami" as a hypnotic rhythmic bedrock provides the perfect foundation for smooth melodic lines to flow gently across the piece. Trademark motifs and counterpoint phrases swell gently towards a rousing breakdown, where new melodies and additional production material converge in a wondrous sonic storm. Melody and rhythm then combine in the second half to mesmerising effect.

With ice-cool precision and a crystal-clear sonic vision, Ivan Aliaga finds a new world of sound within "Sami".
