hell yeah

Finding his groove on Meanwhile with a clutch of impressive productions, Alex O’Rion has been a regular on GMJ and Matter’s best-selling imprint. Reaching a highpoint with May 2020’s “Echium” EP, we now return to O’Rion’s seminal work with remixes from a trio of outstanding artists.

And iconic name within the underground dance industry, Eelko Wijnja has forged a distinctive and innovative sound through his Navar soubriquet. A regular on the likes of Guy J’s Lost & Found, Roger Martinez’s Higher States and Cid Inc.’s Replug, the Dutch star makes his Meanwhile debut with a typically rich and evocative interpretation of “The Chase” that flows gloriously across its near 8-minute journey. Built upon deep kick and rolling arpeggiated synth line, familiar motifs from O’Rion’s original float into sonic range as deeply textured pads and evolving percussive groove wend their way forwards in delicate fashion. An array of sumptuous additional production, courtesy of deep bass and sympathetic new melodies, make their presence felt as the track explodes into the second movement with dancefloor grace. The result is a dynamic interpretation that places Navar at the upper echelons of dance music royalty.

Another familiar name to the Meanwhile cognoscenti, Simos Tagias made an impact via his March 2021 twin-track “Euphoria / Emotion” EP, before September saw a remix of Imran Khan’s “Horizonz”. A veteran of over 400 production credits dating back to a debut for Lynx Records in late 2012, the Greek artist now reworks “Echium” with typical aplomb. Taking the machine-gun hi-hat pattern of the original and a 16th note bass sequence, the meandering melodic themes of O’Rion’s work resonate across a dynamic rhythmic framework. With raw, seething power, Tagias builds intensity that pauses for breath at a haunting breakdown, drenched in reverbs, delays and the stunning motif central to “Echium”, before exploding into the third movement with shimmering effervescence and club-friendly groove.

The final remix sees another Meanwhile favourite enter the fray. An artist who has grown in stature with a slew of releases on the likes of onedotsixtwo, MNL and Proton Music, Sebastian Sellares hit the ground running in April 2021 with his “Dunes at Dawn” EP. This musical triptych showcased the Argentinian’s skill and artistry, while a remix of GMJ’s “Precipice” two months later was another label highlight. Working his production magic on “The Serpent”, Sebastian Sellares has found a way to illuminate the musical phrasing of the original while creating a spotlight that shines on an array of new production material, simultaneously driving the track forward with potent rhythmic force and effortless bassline presence. The result is a searing lead line, rooted in O’Rion’s original, that cuts its way through the second half with acetylene precision, perfectly illustrating Sellares’ sought-after production credentials.

Growing in stature with a trio of towering new remixes from Navar, Simos Tagias and Sebastian Sellares, Alex O’Rion blossoms once again with “Echium”.

Alex O'rion - The Chase (Navar Remix)

Presenting their second release of the year, Antrim’s Or Two Strangers welcomes Sebastian Sellares back to the label for a new EP. The Cordoba resident has been one of the imprints core artists since first appearing in 2019, with five original productions released over the course of a prolific sixteen month stretch. UK behemoth Anjunadeep, Cid Inc’s Replug Records, GMJ and Matter's Meanwhile and US powerhouse Proton Music have also served as landing spots for the Argentine's mesmerizing productions, while progressive music tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren continue to champion his sound. With the year being highlighted by the recently released Replug vehicle ‘Sky Above’, a joint EP project produced alongside fellow countryman Ezequiel Arias, Sebastian now returns to Or Two Strangers with a three track showcase entitled ‘Blizzard’.

EP opener and title selection ‘Blizzard’ finds Sebastian operating at the peak of his creative powers. Fuelled by tough driving beats and layers of hypnotic percussion; it’s Sebastian’s stirring melodies which ultimately shape the piece into a memorable dance floor slam. Colourful cascades emerge leading into the main break, sitting in an emotional headspace and bringing with them trails of balmy atmospherics and effervescent effects, before eventually breaking off into a drop of rebounding rhythms and heartwarming chord changes.

Selection two ‘Elements of Nature’ lands with an equally impressive display of craftsmanship. Sebastian re-affirms his ability to tip a late-night dance floor over the edge, with wobbly grooves and hip-swinging percussion laying the foundation for misty atmospheres and smoky instrumentation. Sitting comfortably in an ethereal yet thought provoking space, thumping beats rise out of a soulful strum-led break into an ever-evolving, free form finale.

The EP’s final selection ‘Hypnotica’ finds Sebastian continuing to diversify his portfolio with a whimsical creation that’s nicely dialled for the sunrise hours. Deeper in design and highly stylized in delivery, its beautifully contoured, funk-fuelled groove sets the course for incandescent melodies and otherworldly harmonics to create a panoramic musical skyline. Often celebrated for his ability to create emotional themes, Sebastian has ventured further with the ‘Blizzard’ collection, into a time of true innovation, traversing a multitude of realms and dimensions within the progressive spectrum, while excelling throughout.

An international community comes together in the Dutch capital once more after a lengthy period of exile. Amsterdam opens its city gates to a Dance Event of unrivalled togetherness and fraternity. A bright dawn beckons over the horizon with new musical hope touching familiar landmarks. Mango Alley contributes with a seventh edition of its timeless classic bringing joy through a collection of rising and seasoned artists. Twenty-two pieces of sonic creativity reverberate across the night sky in beautiful golden light.

In time, a new beginning creates a snapshot of autumnal colour. Gentle mist rolls across canals that interweave through a vibrant city. An hourglass slowly sifts its grains of sand as a plethora of sights and sounds are generated in synchronicity over days that wait for night to fall. The bustling Leidseplein is filled with chatter by day, while dislocated melodic patterns drift across Rembrantplein as twilight turns to night. Nothing is off limit at the stylish and atmospheric ClubNL and the aural rush created by the Sugar Factory then leads east to tempting rhythms found across the Panama canal.

Fedde Le Grand - Twisted (The Remixes Medley)

OUT NOW at Beatport: http://enhan.co/TheShade-BP
Release Date (all stores): September 15th 2014
Label: Enhanced Recordings
Cat. Number: Enhanced204

Mike Shiver finds himself once again stepping onto the illuminating stage of Enhanced with a debut original for the label in the form of an emotive new vocal single - 'The Shade'. Having teamed up with two talented singer/songwriters, Theresia Svensson & Johnny Norberg, the latter who has become a regular feature of late on Enhanced, Shiver manages to produce a captivating record that demonstrates his wonderful abilities with two brilliant mixes.

The Progressive Mix is a flurry of melodies and analogue styled synths whilst still capturing all the emotion in Svensson & Norberg's vocal mantra in a wonderfully classy progressive style.

On the flip side of this double edged release is the Club Mix. An altogether very different affair, this big room alternative is as technical as it is energetic. Staccato synths and EDM inspired FX make this track an ideal peak time trump card.

Not one, but two sterling mixes to choose from. Whether by the pool or in the club, 'The Shade' has it covered. A stunning outing from Mike Shiver feat. Theresia Svensson & Johnny Norberg! Huge early support from Tritonal and Armin van Buuren on ASOT!

Mike Shiver feat. Theresia Svensson & Johnny Norberg - The Shade (Club Mix) [OUT NOW]

Time for another returning artist this week as we have the pleasure to have Greek producer Angelo-K back with us. He has been on remix duty for us on PHW Elements not to long ago, with some amazing sounds on his agenda and he delivers another superb track to us as his “Somewhere In Time” is our highlight of the week on PHW Elements.

With a great ear for building melodies, he once again makes a great delivery for us as he brings on this beauty to all of you following us. Be ready for a melodic production than we have had on our past releases, as he is delivering an amazing track, filled with big melodic pads, great guitar play and a layer after layer production, just too good to resist. We have been in love with this track since day one and still are!

You will also get an “Orchestral Tool” included from Angelo-K, for those of you wanting to get a more relaxed and calm way to listen to this fantastic production.

On remix duty, we have 3 amazing producers all making debuts on our PHW Elements imprint, and we feel truly inspired by all of them and the work they have delivered to complete this release.

First out is one that have delivered some amazing material on pretty much all the major labels out there, and it’s as said just a joy to be able to have the undoubtedly super talent Anton MAKe on our roster as he delivers a more deep re-take of Angelo-K’s original ideas and we feel as happy as ever to have him and this rework on our roster. With deeper kicks and more crisp percussion he puts more drive on to this progressive journey. 

2nd out on remix duty is one of the friendliest producers out there on the scene, as we have the total joy of having US bound producer Will McGlone with us. Will who is someone who has a production style we have been hooked on since discovering his true talent not to long again delivers a warm interpretation. It’s built through deep basslines, crisp percussion and and a layer after layer melodic journey is taking place as he starts to build this track up for us. We believe there is a few of you out there that, as we have, will fall for this superb version, super stuff coming up fellas!

Last out and quite a new name on the scene, we proudly present the young up and coming producer from Lithuania, Frosun on our roster. As he caught our attention with a stunning 4 track EP through Weepee’s White2Black label some months ago, we decided to check if he was available to give his thoughts and ideas for this rack, and we feel he has done amazing with it. He is keeping some of the original ideas, but definitely builds his ideas with some great arpeggio lines included among the melodic feel he’s built here. It’s great to see new talent on the scene, and Frosun is one that we hope to see a lot more of in the future!
