Shanil Alox & Perc Capsule - Out Of Time (Luca Abayan Remix) [Droid9]

Minus Seven

Hermanez - Minus Seven (Original) [Mooizo]

July 2022 saw Juan Deminicis make another impressive entrance into the Proton Music annals, this time with his twin track "Cycles". Now Particles returns to the EP with remixes from Second Sine and Wolfframm.

A Particles debutant with over a century of credits to his name, Andrey Sinitsyn has made an impressive name for himself with his Second Sine moniker and an "energetic dark palette linked with his love for chunkier techy vibes". An accomplished DJ with releases for the likes of YOMO Records, Mistique Music and a pair of appearances on Black Hole Recordings, the Russian artist's remix of "Cycles" emerges from an intricate percussive groove and deep kick. An atmospheric swathe of pads and deeply textured elements pulsate enticingly across the stereo spectrum, before delicate new synth motifs and the elegant piano from Juan's original emerge in a beautifully tender breakdown. A growling new bassline adds further depth and emotion as the Second Sine interpretation drives forward to an impressive and satisfying conclusion.

A seasoned performer with over two decades experience in the underground dance music industry, Paul Richter originally carved out a sizeable niche with his work in the drum and bass genre. Moving into the more melodic and considered sounds of electronica and progressive house with his Wolfframm soubriquet, the Canberra-based artist has found himself a regular across the Australian, Late Night Music imprint throughout 2022. A debut on Particles in December saw Wolfframm remixing OHMZ's "Articulation" as he now returns to the label with a mesmerising new interpretation of "Samhadi". Hypnotic melodies evolve in hypnotic fashion as pulsing arpeggiated phrases and twinkling synth motifs shimmer across the near 9-minute offering. Cleverly weaving the emotive piano sequences from the original into the breakdown, a sustained new bassline sequence and intelligent treatment of Juan's vocal effects creates a powerful third movement that takes "Samhadi" in a new and vibrant direction. Built upon a powerful kick and rolling top line, the Wolfframm remix showcases talent and craftsmanship in abundance.

In mid-2022, GMJ delivered another 24-carat release in the shape of his "Empty to Fill" musical triptych. Returning to the EP, a pair of new remixes provide a fresh perspective from an Australian legend and rising Russian star.

Jamie Stevens has been a regular contributor to the Meanwhile catalogue. An award-winning ARIA artist with a slew of releases on Bedrock, Lost & Found and Selador amongst others, 400 production credits tell their own story of the Melbourne resident's success. June 2022's "Circles" EP showcased Stevens' talent on Meanwhile with three inimitable original tracks, while a single remix of Roger Martinez's "Cosmic Drum" in late-2020 is now followed by a sparkling interpretation of "Empty to Fill". Replete with bouncing bass groove and body-shaking percussion, the vocal sample that featured in the original makes an intermittent return with sinister, pitched down voicing. Evolving easily, familiar melodic elements make their play alongside a wealth of new production material that reveals itself further towards the mid-point breakdown. Full of dancefloor sensibility, the track explodes into life in the second half in a hypnotising and mesmerising collage of rhythmic prowess.

Another familiar artist to the Meanwhile faithful, Konstantin Kuranakov has carved out a sizeable reputation with his Jiminy Hop pseudonym. Already finding success with releases on the likes of Plaisirs Sonores Records, Juicebox Music and WARPP, March 2022's "Johlin" and September's "Levera / Agmoli" perfectly illustrated the Russian star's production credentials with five immaculately sculpted original pieces of music. Now returning with a debut remix on GMJ & Matter's imprint, the Jiminy Hop interpretation is a masterful, up-tempo reworking of "Stage Flight" that rises and falls with poise and grace. Delicate new melodies soar on the sonic breeze as they cascade gently across the landscape in arpeggiated patterns. Counterpoint melodies entwine through each other in interwoven patterns with a dense atmosphere in plentiful supply through shimmering delays and reverb tails. A copious blend of white-noise risers and crashing waves add a pulsating touch as the Jiminy Hop remix ignites with its club-friendly denouement in the second half.

Taking GMJ's music in imaginative new directions, Jamie Stevens and Jiminy Hop are full of poise and passion through their "Empty to Fill /Stage Flight Remixes".

A rising force within the underground dance scene, Michael Ritter continues to hone a distinctive sound with elegant craftsmanship and technical expertise. Returning to Sam Packer's Pillbox, Michael now delivers his "Boundaries / El Camino" EP.

Part of the vibrant electronic scene in his native Germany, Michael Ritter is a regular performer across the Berlin capital through his Grey Bar Hotel label and events. A passionate advocate of an eclectic mix of Progressive, Afro and Melodic House with a dash of Organica thrown in for good measure, Michael's sets captivate far beyond the boundaries of his home country, evidenced by an upcoming Mexico tour in early 2023 with performances in Juarez and Mexico City. A contemporaneous production career has seen releases on an array of blue-chip imprints since a 2019 debut for Price Incorrect, with over a century of production credits sitting proudly against the Michael Ritter name. Original and remix production material can be found on Lowbit, Particles and YOMO Records as well as a raft of releases on his Grey Bar Hotel label.

Debuting on Pillbox with a standout reworking of Chris Zippel & Ghenwa Nemnom's "To Follow" in October 2022, Michael now returns to the label with his first full original EP, already gaining traction from industry heavyweights Marco Tegui, Be Svendsen and Iorie, among others. Opener, "Boundaries" lilts easily across its 6-minute timeframe as an Afro House-infused percussion provides the perfect foundation for a luscious arpeggio to enter the fray alongside a rolling groove. A hefty bass sequence adds weight while a sultry vocal sample stretches invitingly throughout. Building through an atmospheric breakdown of sonic colour and organic instrumentation, the track drops back into the delightfully imagined combination of rhythm and melody.

Partner track, "El Camino" continues the laid-back rhythmic cadence of the opener which a beautiful display of melodic emotion and elegance. Anchored by a powerful kick and sumptuous bassline dynamism, a swathe of piano motifs, horn phrases, and sitar-inspired instrumentation, combine in a majestic fashion to create a mesmerizing aural landscape that evolves unencumbered across a wondrous 5-minutes. Dripping in atmosphere and emotion, Michael's skill is to evoke an image of a sweltering Spanish summer afternoon through his masterful production.

Hitting the heights once more, Michael Ritter explores new horizons across "Boundaries / El Camino".

Mike Griego returns to the label with an incredible new EP. 

Enigmatic and unique, Mike Griego has carved out a flourishing career and his musically rich signature sound has been making waves for nearly 15 years. Signed to a number of influential labels including Replug, Tale + Tone and Balance Music, Mike feels at home with expressing his artistic vision through progressive house. 

Opening the EP with 'A Lydian Prophacy' disco bass and bongo rhythms combine with eerie synthlines for a wondrous soundscape affair. Mellow and hypnotic, the melodics ebb and flow through out creating different textures and feels. Continuing the theme, 'New School Prog' serves as somewhat a blueprint of the direction progressive house might take. Dubby and detailed, each element has a place; never feeling rushed and overused. 'Outta Time' acts perfectly as the finalé with it's subtle intro whetting the appetite perfectly. Deep, groovy, and utterly Griego, this is a stand out EP from a producer at the top of his game.
