A truly talented artist with huge following and global appeal, Alex O’Rion continues to go from strength to strength within the world of underground dance. With his work spanning some 15 years of commercial releases, the Dutch master is a welcome returnee to Meanwhile with a stellar quartet of original tracks.

A regular across the industry’s finest purveyors of modern and cerebral progressive house music, Alex O’Rion has constantly found his music featured on such esteemed imprints as Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat, Guy J’s Lost & Found and Nick Warren’s Hope. A regular visitor to the upper echelons of the Beatport charts, over a million Spotify streams in 2020 and 4,000 followers points to broad appeal and wide-ranging support.

Now returning to Meanwhile after a trio of remixes for label head-honchos GMJ & Matter on June 2020’s “Gauntlet” and February 2021’s “The Path”, Alex O’Rion now returns to the label with a devastating 4-track original EP of unrivalled quality.

The “Echium” title track is a blistering sub-bass monster that drives along powerfully on a bed of ticking hi-hats and chest-thumping kick. Building in momentum, smooth pads and effortless synth lines flow across the 8-minute piece before revelling in a stripped-back breakdown. Picking up the pace again in the third movement, gorgeous harmonic overtones layer delicately across each other, borne of never-ending delay sweeps.

“Stranded” continues the powerful rhythmic narrative and otherworldly sonic landscape before a percussive loop provides subtle melodic phrasing. Shifting synth sequences bisect the left-right spectrum as waves of white noise fall against a rocky outcrop of percussive hats. Melodic lines continue to evolve in delicate patterns into the second half in a sonic palette of sheer bliss.

A sumptuous bassline groove propels “The Chase” through its hypnotic paces, accompanied by a chugging rhythmic backdrop. Simultaneously, gentle synth motifs pulsate in side-chained synchronicity as a rich symphony of sound swells into the second half against a plucked earworm phrase. The result is a dynamic and devastating club-friendly track that is sure to inspire a multitude of hands-in-the-air moments.

“The Serpent” ends the quadrilogy with its rippling sound effects that cascade in spiral patterns against a melodious foreground. Delicate percussive patterns marry with a deep resonant kick to provide a rhythmic anchor, giving freeform synth motifs the opportunity to express a meandering sonic voyage that reaches a powerful crescendo at the midpoint. Hitting its stride again in the third movement with additional melodic sequencing, the result is a charismatic end to an outstanding original EP.

The Netherlands’ Kasper Koman dissects Michael A’s original into a darker, even more spaced-out version in his remix, building the progressive nature of the original mix into a more sinister work of heavily staccato bass accents which slowly pile up and eventually climax into silence after a lengthy four-and-a-half minute growth pattern, before finally returning the mix to his original groove.

Michael A - Nothing Is Useless Incl. Kasper Koman / Simply City Remixes

PREMIERE: Michael A - Nothing Is Useless (Kasper Koman Remix) [Strange Town Recordings]

An artist with a strong and vibrant portfolio under his name, Pysh returns to Particles with his "Ballada" EP. Remixes from Argentina and Germany complete the picture.

A catalyst for a career in the music industry, victory remixing Booka Shade catapulted Pysh into the limelight in 2010. A full-length album for Einmusika followed as has subsequent work for high-profile labels that include, Traum, Defected and Get Physical. A remix of Rudy UK in June 2018 opened Pysh's account for Particles and we are delighted to welcome him back with an original EP. The title track is characterised by a heavy beat and chunky rhythmic interplay paves the way for a chorus of beautiful analogue melodies to weave a magical path across the eight-minute piece. Building throughout, counterpoint motifs meld with a central theme to wonderful effect. Immediately piquing interest with its rapid-fire arpeggio opening, "B.R.A.T." continues the rich melodic themes. A strong rhythmic bed provides an anchor for analogue sequences to revel in glissando glory as they build to a white-noise crescendo, before dropping back in to hypnotic arpeggio groove once more. Collaborating with fellow countryman, Sincz, a heavier chunkier groove combined with intricate percussive cadence keeps "Angelika" moving forwards with claps and effects. Simultaneously, a hypnotic melodic phrasing sits perfectly within the rhythmic framework as it evolves elegantly into a beat-laden third movement.

An accomplished musician, Matias Chilano, has been a regular performer across the clubs of his Argentine home with the likes of Nick Warren, Quivver and Dave Seaman. Regularly supported by fellow countryman, Hernan Cattaneo, Chilano's production portfolio is chock full of impressive releases for such leading imprints as Balkan Connection, Movement Recordings and Soundteller Records. A single remix of K Nass represented a superb debut for Particles in March 2018 and a second remix now sees Matias Chilano create a typically smooth offering. Wrapped in a crisp rhythmic hi-hat shell with strong beat and intricate percussive groove, a smooth array of melodic sequences interacts with each other, evolving gently in hypnotic fashion. Making intelligent use of Pysh's elements, muted free-flowing lines appear at the mid-point breakdown and into the third movement combined with Chilano's exquisite production work.

Renowned for his prowess in the techno arena, Christian Hornbostel has garnered support for his music from across the DJ elite that includes Pan-Pot, Wally Lopez and Stacy Pullen. A hugely experienced DJ and producer, over two-thousand credits sit next to his name for some of the leading underground dance music imprints. Work for Kling Klong, Set About and Natura Viva are testament to Hornbostel's technique and craft, while the "Ampere" EP for Particles provided a moment of melodic techno brilliance in July 2018. Now, reworking Pysh, the Christian Hornbostel remix of "B.R.A.T" bristles with mule-like kick and off-beat percussion, while a rapid-fire ostinato that has its roots firmly in the original, keeps energy high. Adding a swathe of additional production material, a spine-tingling breakdown provides a moment of melodic magic before the driving rhythms finds its place once more in the second half.
