GMJ - LIfewaves [The Soundgarden]

Born and raised in St Louis, Missouri, Will DeKeizer is the focus of our next release, offering up three delicious slices of progressive beauty in Metamorphosis, Moon Escape and Floating Frozen In Time. To round off this exceptional release we have enlisted Macedonia’s progressive wizard, Kandar, and Argentina’s Ivan Aliaga to give us their unique takes on Metamorphosis and Moon Escape respectively.  

Will DeKeizer comes armed with over fifteen years of classical training in piano and saxophone, and also first started to dabble in the electronic production world some fifteen years ago. Citing early musical influences such as Pink Floyd, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream, and more recent electronic influences such as Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren et al, it is easy to imagine the musical delights that Will is capable of creating, and after first coming to our attention last year via his amazing track, Karma, which featured on our compilation, Electrique Boutique - compiled and mixed by Steve Marx, it was only a matter of time before Will released his own EP with us. 

The EP begins powerfully with the title track Metamorphosis; an infectious slab of progressive breaks driven by an enveloping, rolling and evolving bassline, while ethereal atmospheric pads skim effortlessly over the top of a tight broken beat. Moon Escape follows in a more traditional 4/4 progressive format, featuring an addictive growling bass, shimmering key lines, playful subs, vocal stabs and a hauntingly beautiful piano melody, which all combine perfectly to create a timeless piece of dance floor ready progressive heaven. The third original, Floating Frozen In Time is a real journey piece. With a rumbling bassline driving the track forward from the off, and strong reverberated pads and shimmering percussion setting the scene for an epic expedition into the unknown. Next up, Kandar takes on the title track and puts a solid 4/4 spin on it. Definitely one for peak time excursions with a spine-tingling breakdown worthy of a festival stage. Last, but not in any way least, Ivan Aliaga gives us his take on Moon Escape, giving it a deeper more heads down feel while retaining and building on the euphoria created by Will’s stunning piano work. The track chugs and glides simultaneously with hypnotising ease, proving once again why Aliaga is one to watch.

Ending the year on a high having witnessed a plethora of musical highlights, Meanwhile has been a shining beacon for progressive house throughout 2021. Now, Australian, Mike Rish, becomes the latest debutant to showcase his talents on GMJ & Matter’s blossoming imprint with the 3-track “Beyond” EP.

From his home on Australia’s south-eastern coast, Mike Rish has witnessed an impressive rise to notoriety, courtesy of a clutch of high-profile releases on an exclusive set of blue-chip labels. Not wanting to flood the progressive house scene with a swathe of formulaic dance music, the Melbourne resident’s “selective output” is based on a carefully thought-out commitment to “keep people engaged, but also wanting more”. Thus, Rish’s work for the likes of Colorize, Serendeep and Juicebox Music, has seen the Australian carve out a sizeable niche for himself, further enhanced by March 2021’s 12-track “Interlinked” album for UGENIUS Music.

Opening his Meanwhile account with the “Beyond” title track, a chunky beat and cavernous bass groove sit tightly against off-beat hats and snare. Filtering into sonic range, an elegant arpeggio provides glorious melodic interplay as white-noise washes and meandering pads pulse gently across the near 10-minute piece. Full of spine-tingling atmosphere, additional melodic phrasing is introduced at the breakdown before extending into the third movement with ease, combined with a raft of effects and masterful touches.

A bouncing bass groove immediately finds “Mindgame” oozing with hypnotic force and low-end menace. Sat perfectly in between deep kick and ticking hats, a flowing melodic line ripples across proceedings as it rises and falls with filtered dynamism. Twisted vocal cuts and acetylene-edged synth effects pitch with glissando range adding to the aural collage in a track full of dark and mesmerising beauty.

Closing the EP, “Here For You” is characterised by an intricate percussive arrangement that introduces a subtle melodic backdrop. Effects and textured pads span the stereo stage in modulated glory as a pulsating lead melody enters the fray in the second movement. Building steadily before revealing itself fully in the stripped back breakdown, the second half blossoms in commanding fashion with a pulsating confluence of rhythm and melody. The result is a track that illustrates Mike Rish’s unique talent and technique.

A musical triptych full of innovation and sonic narrative, Mike Rish has gone above and “Beyond” with a glittering display of production prowess.

The latest release from Clubsonica Records finds the label showcasing the 2022 edition of its MMW Sampler. Long a testing ground for some of the underground's freshest new music, Miami Music Week sees artists, DJs, labels and industry brands travelling to the long-standing event, searching for what will be the spring and summer seasons biggest records. The global pandemic cancelled the event's previous two years but now with the world opening back up, the 2022 installment moves forward with great anticipation. Pre-covid 19, the MMW Sampler was a staple in Clubsonica's release schedule, and now makes a triumphant return with exciting new music from (in order of appearance): Alex Bessofen and Pablo Arbelaez, Andre Moret and NAHS, Emegepe, Mir Omar and Ric Niels.

Opening the release are Alex Bessofen and Pablo Arbelaez. Also finding favour with world class DJ Hernan Cattaneo, Alex and Pablo continue on an upwards trajectory with 'Mezcal'. Aimed squarely at a peak time dance floor, the duo marries electric rhythms and striking percussion with driving beats and pulsating grooves. A stunning array of effects delights across the first act, sweeping in and out of the stereo-field as crunchy arps add texture and momentum leading into the second of two breaks. Rising modulation continues to elevate mood as the interlude builds to a sonic sizzle, before giving way to a vortex of noise as the groove drops for a thumping finale.

Selection two finds Andre Moret alongside NAHS. Now, joining forces for the first time, Clubsonica serves as the perfect landing spot for the duo's collaboration entitled 'Brava'. Deep and fluid throughout, the duo's sleek designs are mysterious yet hopeful, tactfully merging for a momentous mindset-style groover. Looking to bring greater emotional depth, the main break adds colour through arpeggiated phrasing and cinematic overlays, gently building anticipation onwards to a glowing apex and purring final movement.

Next up is Emegepe. Presenting his first project of 2022, Emegepe now makes his Clubsonica debut with 'Multicoloured Puff'. Played out over eight minutes, its tightly-knit groove and hypnotic rhythms set the foundation for an evolving atmospheric narrative. Ghostly wails and timeless chord stabs come in waves across the first act, playing off layers of driving percussion, while sweeping effects carry into the main break. Stripping down to a cavernous ambience, the interlude builds anticipation through striking overlays and colourful arps, before giving way to a stripped-down drop and intoxicating finale.

The sampler's lone remix is provided by Mir Omar. Now with the demand for new material at an all-time high, Mir makes his Clubsonica debut with a gorgeous rendition of 'Induction' by Mental Order and Tim Othy. Opting for a bigger, more peak-time approach, the American artist focuses on a strong rhythmic narrative, with layers of hip-swinging percussion and buoyant tonal themes fueling its infectious drive. Landing in a timely fashion, the main break resonates with great strength, juxtaposing shape-shifting atmospheres over warm sub bass, onwards to a driving finale.

The release concludes in fine style with Ric Niels. Ric returns to round out the MMW Sampler with 'Who Knows'. Well in line with the previous selections, its striking beats and free flowing, energetic style conjures up colourful clubland images. A marriage of trippy effects and driving percussion blankets a tight, compact groove, perfectly setting the stage for a cascading lead theme. The main break is set to delight dance floors with its whimsical charm and mesmerizing build, the latter of which smoothly shifts energy into a chunky, percussive finale. Mature and well composed, it rounds out an excellent 2022 edition of Clubsonica's MMW Sampler, one where a combination of new and veteran talent come together for several magical moments.

DJ Ruby, Alexey Sonar - Connection (Kenan Savrun Night Mix) [SkyTop]

Both huge names in the progressive house genre, Alex O’Rion & Ezequiel Arias join forces for a debut on Meanwhile as the GMJ & Matter led imprint celebrates its 34th release with “Solis”. Two further solo tracks from Alex O’Rion complete the musical picture.

An artist at the centre of the underground dance scene for almost 20 years and with over 400 production credits to his name, Alex O’Rion has been a Meanwhile regular, most notably with his landmark four-track “Echium” EP in May 2021. A trio of remixes for Rich Curtis and GMJ & Matter themselves bookend a powerful portfolio on the label. Similarly, Ezequiel Arias has found himself at the vanguard of the modern progressive house movement with his standout work for a host of blue-chip imprints including Anjunadeep, Sudbeat Music and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden. Now making his Meanwhile debut, Arias joins forces with Alex O’Rion as the duo showcase “Solis”.

The headline track is thus a powerful reminder of the combined talent of the Dutch and Argentinean pairing as “Solis” powers forward with chest-thumping kick and sublime bassline groove. Clave percussive flourishes add a summery vibe to proceedings as a filtered synth line gradually comes to the fore, mirroring the bassline foundation. Gently evolving across the 6-minute piece, a free-flowing synth line wends its way across the melodic collage while a beatless breakdown creates the perfect opportunity for a variation in the cadenced chord progression. Hitting its stride once more in the second half, “Solis” is a timely reminder of the silky-smooth skills and unrivalled craftsmanship of the talented duo.

“Pluvia” sees Alex O’Rion back on solo duties as a chunky beat and swung offbeat hi-hats create the perfect environment for crackling effects and pitched synths to flow in sparkling patterns against a backdrop of white-noise risers. Evolving with ease, subtle melodies play off each other in fluid rivulets of sound. Metallic wind chimes echo in random patterns as a smorgasbord of sound effects give the sonic impression of falling rain in a sparking track.

The final piece finds “Sericum” proving an apposite title as a smooth-roasted bass groove sits below deep kick and cavernous sub-bass pattern. A shuffling hi-hat top line provides subtle urgency as a mellifluous synth line flows like honey as the track reaches its mid-point. A reverb-soaked lead line adds harmonic variation as a vibrant breakdown creates the perfect moment of reflection. The rhythmic melange once again hits its mark again in the second half, accompanied by the array of opulent melodic elements introduced earlier in the piece.

“Through “Solis”, Alex O’Rion and Ezequiel Arias burn brightly in a stunning array of iridescent aural colour.

It is time for some serious attention now, as we unleash the next installment on PHW Elements, and we for sure feel we have something exceptional coming up this week, that we are so proud to have gotten together for our followers. We have the pleasure to have the Teneriffe bound producer Julian Marazuela making his debut on the label, as he brings on his fabulous production “Chinyero” on our PHW Elements roster. With his music being seen through massive labels such as Baroque, Balkan Connection, Clinique, Suffused Music and a good load more. Of course we are happy to involve Julian together with us on PHW Elements as well with this great production. 

On remix duty we have a superb line-up for you, including great reworks from talented acts such as Cut Knob, Exoplanet and Polish wonder Kacper Kostecki. 

Julian Marazuela hit off with a majestic original, filled with all the right grooves and deep structures that he is so known for. Vocal additions are used to give this deep production its warm and atmospheric feel. Just listen through it, and you will understand what we mean.

The collaboration duo behind the well known and always intelligent alias of Cut Knob hits off with their masterpiece. With fat rolling sound structures and deep grooves, they build an interpretation packed with energy and style, just as they always do, we couldn’t be happier.
The young and talented Dutch super producer Exoplanet debut with a fantastic psy-trance interpretation together with us on PHW Elements. With his creative and innovate musical thinking, he find ways that no one else do, and the result for us, is above stunning. With a 132 bpm quick journey created here, he for sure delivers something extraordinary to all you people out there. It’s energetic, forward thinking, creative and everything inbetween, we absolutely love it! 

The 3rd and final rework comes as said from the Polish wonder Kacper Kostecki, a producer we have followed through labels such as Particles, newly found Time Capsule (the label from East Cafe) as well as Clinique and Dopamine. He delivers another massive production today, as he brings on a more techno-ish touch to the original ideas from Julian. With his innovative and quirky style, he once more showcase what a talented mind he is. If you need a floorfiller, you are to get it through Kacpers great retake, as he delivers a total knockout for the floors.

All in all we are super excited to unleash this monster of a release, and we do think you are to get your version in this package, thanks to all guys involved in the release, a proud moment is here!
