----------
 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.

Clubsonica Records continues a strong start to the year by welcoming Frankie M, Rodrigo Lapena and Gonzalo Sacc to the label for their debut EP. Based in Argentina and firmly entrenched in their country's progressive music scene; Frankie, Rodrigo and Gonzalo have all achieved measurable success in their respective careers. A collective discography showcases standout releases via Hoomidaas, Songspire, The Soundgarden and TRYBESof. Also well regarded amongst the world's electronic music tastemakers, the Argentinean artists continue to earn play and support from Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. Now joining forces for their Clubsonica debut, Frankie M, Rodrigo Lapena and Gonzalo Sacc present 'My Home | Let Me Go', alongside remixes from DJ San and Juan Deminicis.

Beginning with 'My Home' you get a feel for just how strong the creative synergy between these three talents is. Featuring a deep progressive minded narrative, the trio craft a foundation of beefy beats, smooth rhythms and tantalizing tonal themes. Soulful vocal phrases steal the air as the first act evolves, bringing with them muted pianos and effervescent effects. Coming to full fruition during the main break, the piano and vocal take centerstage, playing off one another and continuing to elevate mood, eventually fading off as a final soulful phrase summons the groove for a glowing finale. The companion piece 'Let Me Go' proves to be a worthy complement with its deep, driving energy. Muscular beats power the undulating groove, while percolating effects and timely vocals add space, depth and emotion. Continuing to evolve as the main break commences, the vocal flows through tasteful modulation amidst a bed of warm tones and swirling atmospherics, perfectly setting up a thunderous drop and vocal-led finale.

Providing the lone interpretation of 'My Home' is DJ San. Whether operating under his DJ San or Solid Sessions monikers, Dutch artist Sandor Jongerius has a storied history in electronic music. The Amsterdam resident lays claim to an impressive resume, highlighted by releases via Armada, Positva, Sony and Universal. Electronic music's premiere tastemakers have also been steadfast supporters of DJ San, with Armin Van Buuren, Dubfire, John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, Pete Tong, Sasha and Tiesto all championing his sound at one time or another. Now, DJ San debuts on Clubsonica with a gorgeous rendition of 'My Home'. Taking a cue from the original while adding a deeper state of mind, the Dutch artist carves out a warm, fluid groove adorned with creamy tones and heartrending vocals. Sweeping effects and delicate arps continue to advance the journey, pushing momentum forward into a poignant break. Connecting in a profound way, the vocal highlights the interlude, expertly surrounded with waves of cosmic colour as it gently builds towards a suitably understated crescendo and genuine finale.

The release concludes with Juan Deminicis providing the lone interpretation of 'Let Me Go'. The Argentinean artist has released on the genre's finest imprints, with Cid Inc's Replug Records, Guy J's Lost and Found and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music all being regular homes for the talented Argentine. Engaging from the outset, warm beats and rhythmic pulses converge for a sleek yet energetic groove, while crisp percussion and youthful vocal elements bring colour and texture to the framework. Building an engaging narrative, exotic drums and cascading tones marry beautifully across the first act, before segueing smoothly into the main break. Effervescent vocals highlight the centerpiece, delivering soulful moments, before a gentle rush of noise cues a powerful drop and exhilarating finale. A stunning remix from Juan, which rounds out a must-have collaborative project from Frankie M, Rodrigo Lapena and Gonzalo Sacc, an artist trio who have delivered some of their most engaging work to date here.

'Rising out of Argentina's electronic underground and making his much anticipated Replug debut is Ivan Aliaga. Hailing from the talent-rich region of Cordoba, Ivan’s musical palate takes reference from the progressive genre’s vast spectrum; in turn creating an authentic voice that is discernibly his own. Noted for his attention to detail, tough kick drums and electric design quality, Ivan's craft shines through vividly, making each one of his creations an exhilarating experience. On the strength of releases via Mango Alley, Meanwhile, Or Two Strangers and The Soundgarden, Ivan has earned the praise of genre trendsetters Cid Inc, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed and more. Now, following his latest Mango Alley vehicle ‘Blue Shade’, Ivan makes his Replug debut with a two-track showcase entitled ‘Lonely World’.

The EP’s title selection ‘Lonely World’ sets the tone with a remarkable display of rhythm and musicality. Tight, compact and bursting with ultrasonic energies, it’s a creation built around meditative melodies and temperate harmonies. There’s a strong sense of cruising across the first movement, one that allows the listener to relish in Ivan’s rippling grooves and orbiting effects, in turn perfectly setting up a series of poignant chord changes and processed piano’s which carry energy into the main break. Ivan’s craftsmanship shines across the interlude, with effervescent phrasing and fuzzed out synth swagger cleverly coaxing, eventually revealing a pixie-like lead melody which pushes onwards to a finale that is equal parts cosmic and emotive.

The companion piece ‘Speed’ follows and is an apt barometer of where Ivan’s headspace is at, as he lets tight kick drums lay the foundation for gritty percussion and devilish effects to create a darker monochrome. Energies shift and emotion rises as hopeful pads emerge, bringing depth and space to the pyrotechnic framework, before getting washed away in a wave of deconstructed sonics for a heady finale. It’s a thrilling conclusion to a fresh two-track showcase, one where Ivan Aliaga makes an impressive Replug debut, and carefully balances rhythm and groove with technique and melody.'
