the cream of melodic prog,house

Future Blueprints is a celebration of the upcoming generation of producers who are making their own unique mark on the scene, and gives us a snapshot of the excellent quality and imagination out there amongst the next wave of progressive artists. 

First up, Argentina’s Agustin Pengov gives us ‘SEIA’, a melodic masterstroke which oozes class and manages to remain both subtle and furious in the same breath. 

The goose bumps continue as we stay in South America, but move next door to Uruguay with ‘Distance’ from Alex Efe & Diego Barrondo, two of Uruguay’s hottest exports, who regularly collaborate, and it shows with this blistering ride of a track. 

Next we travel to Sydney, Australia, by way of Sam Cooke, AKA Covsky, who proves he really is one to watch on the Aussie new school scene with this emotive heads down groover called ‘Whole 9’. 

We head back to South America, but this time we land in São Paulo, Brazil and are greeted by Gorkiz and his anthemic  ‘Intuition’. 

A second collaboration is next up, and this time we are spanning the globe with Serbia-based Hobin Rude and Argentina’s Nicolas Benedetti and their sublime ‘Orhidea’. 

Last, but certainly not least we close this compilation with the fittingly titled ‘End of a New Era’ from Buenos Aires’ Matias Ocaño. An emotive and melancholic gem. 

We are left in no doubt that the future of progressive house music is in very good hands.

Future Blueprints

Covsky - Whole 9

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”.

Even though Callecat is relatively new to the scene, the Dutch duo have been making a rapid rise to recognition with their continuous high quality output. The maturity of their productions would make you believe they've been around for many years already.

Now returning on Paul Hazendonk's MNL label after last years well received 'Cabin In The Woods' EP and- more recently- their remix for Brann's single 'With No Mask', they delight us with two powerful pieces of progressive house; 'Akrasia' and 'The Alchemist'.

On remix duties we've got industry veterans K Loveski and Namatjira sharing their unique vision on both songs.

Ruben Karapetyan - Acceptance (Original Mix) [ABORIGINAL]

Next up, we welcome Simos Tagias to the label with the 'Mantis EP'. 

A prolific producer, Simos Tagias has released with everyone from FSOE and UV to Replug and Mango Alley. Based in northern Greece, he made his breakthrough with Lynx Records a decade ago, and has gone on to create an enviable back catalogue with support across the progressive scene from the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Cid Inc.  and more. 

Opening with lead track, 'Mantis', we are quickly swept up in Simos' epic soundscape. Dirty bass and gunshot stabs playfully work against shakers and sidechained pads growing the tension over time. Midway, new synthlines add meat to the bones of this chunky groover before the main break cools things off a touch. 

'Daydreamer' begins apace with gated bass and eerie atmospheres. Dark and moody, the sound design creates powerful mental images as the tracks takes hold. Closing the EP, the tribal rhythms of 'Breath' feel extra funky. Synth washes and sparse percussion give the track acres of space to breathe(!) creating a light breezy vibe. Solid work from one of the scene's unsung heroes.

Clubsonica Records opens the spring season by welcoming Abity to the label. Hailing from Argentina, José Duque and Bruno Signorelli make up the Abity production team. The Rosario natives have been collaborating and creating their brand of progressive music for well over a decade. The Nick Warren favourites have showcased their music via Roger Martinez's Higher States, Antrim's Or Two Strangers and Proton's Particles. With 2022 beginning with a well-received EP for Golden Wings Music, Abity now makes their Clubsonica debut with 'Sinerxia | Lotus', alongside remixes from Zankee Gulati and Mass Digital.

Drawing on a variety of smooth rhythmic concepts, the EP begins with 'Sinerxia'. On a backbone of warm beats comes mounds of perfectly contoured bass and a lively percussive cadence. Fluid and buoyant in equal measure, an evolving atmospheric glow encases the framework, as vibrant arps and effervescent effects unite in a perfect sonic marriage. The narrative shifts as emotive chord changes initiate the main break, with buzzing sonics and processed guitars gently rising alongside wavy motifs as the beats drop for a spirited finale. The companion piece 'Lotus' continues the progressive minded vibes of its predecessor. As the journey commences delicate arps and spacey effects sit atop a mountainous groove and rolling rhythms. Balmy overlays and percolating effects elevate mood as the first act evolves, perfectly setting the stage for buzzing lines to push momentum into the break. Furthering its emotive appeal, the centrepiece melts down into a heartfelt melody; reflective in nature, the cascading theme delivers impassioned moments, perfectly setting up an understated drop as the groove gallops towards a stirring final movement.

Providing the lone interpretation of 'Sinerxia' is Zankee Gulati. Based in Australia, the progressive music phenom has enjoyed a steady rise since first emerging in 2017. Highly regarded imprints such as Mango Alley and The Soundgarden have served as landing spots for Zankee's groovy sound, while genre tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Guy J have championed his work along the way. Taking inspiration from the original, Zankee flexes his free-thinking muscles and crafts a version that lands comfortably between the surreal and exotic. Neatly manicured percussion and a creamy, hip-swinging groove set the course for a transcendent lead theme, which ultimately highlights the journey. Coming to full fruition across the second of two breaks, tension rises through tasteful modulation, while never letting go of its tranquil vibration, pushing onwards to a glowing finale.

The release concludes with Mass Digital providing the lone interpretation of 'Lotus'. Highly regarded in the world of organic house, the Serbian artist boasts an impressive discography highlighted by releases via Akbal Music, All Day I Dream, Hoomidaas, Sol Selectas and TRYBESof. As a favourite of Above and Beyond, Lee Burridge and Hernan Cattaneo, Mass Digital now makes his Clubsonica debut with a stylish rendition of 'Lotus'. From warm, rhythmic beginnings comes redolent themes and heartfelt sonics. Gentle flutters build and atmospheres emerge, perfectly setting stage for joyous strings which ultimately lead into the break. A spoken word narrative and dulcet piano add nicely to the journey as the centrepiece evolves, before smoothly segueing into a finale which is sure to send people home with a smile. It's this tasteful amalgamation of grandiose themes which proves most captivating perhaps, touching the listener with moments of hope and reflection, as a bed of dusty beats and organic percussion translates that message to the dancefloor. A touching interpretation from Mass Digital, which rounds out a memorable Clubsonica debut for himself, Zankee Gulati and Abity. Highly recommended.

nedotsixtwo continue their journey eastward and touch down in Istanbul, Turkey where we are excited to welcome longstanding Turkish artist Hakan Özürün to our label family, with his 2-track EP titled Purple Void. 
Over the years Hakan has released on labels such as Addictive Sounds, Nothing But and  White Soho to name a few. After a musical hiatus he is now back in the studio creating beautiful tracks designed for today’s global progressive dance floors, releasing on the legendary Bonzai Progressive. 

The title track Purple Void is an ethereal workout of driving beats with subtle melodies and stabs that weave in and out of each other, keeping the energy levels high. 
Preparation is a heads-down groove that locks you into its web of pulsating beats and hypnotic rhythms - guaranteed to make any dance-floor shake.

On remix duties label favourites Oliver & Tom return and turn up the melody and the mood, adding their signature elements and arrangement to the title track Purple Void and transforming it into a masterclass in sound.

@onedotsixtwo are excited to welcome back US legend Forerunners to the label for his third release with us, entitled 'The Watchers'.

Much admired across the progressive house spectrum and with an enviable catalogue of releases on numerous leading labels like Anjunadeep, Pure Progressive and Sudbeat, The Watchers definitely shows no slipping of the Forerunners gold standard. Brenden delivers a beautiful array of subtly blended melodies and effects, that are perfectly arranged over a meticulously crafted drafted drum pattern and unmistakable bass-line which solidify his incredible sound.

On remix duties we enlisted the super talented and good friend of the label John Cosani, who was the star of the show for our 50th release back in 2021. John's remix is an absolute power house of percussion and drive added to the bottom end and mid sections, whilst continuing to retain the essence and spirit of the original.

The Watchers

Following the success of August 2021’s debut compilation series, and a first volume featuring six original tracks from a stellar cast of international talent, GMJ & Matter now return with a thoroughbred 10-track sequel in “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2”.

Presenting a global dance party with artists from across the continents, from North and South America to Europe, Australasia and Asia, the second instalment of the “Meanwhile Excursions” series combines an array of established talent with up-and-coming nubreed artists who shine a bright light on the progressive house genre.

Opening with the deep bass groove of “Negev”, Colombian star, Golan Zocher, and label head-honcho, GMJ, blend their talent with a delicate ambience that shimmers across its 8-minute time fame with textured pads and flowing soundscape. Mango Alley favourite, Forty Cats continues with the smooth sounds of “Mutualism” as hypnotic rhythms and bass groove propel things forwards, while Andrés Moris creates club-friendly force via “Owen’s Dream”. Full of emotive chords progressions and twinkling arpeggios, a pulsating bassline makes for a beautifully assured debut.

Redolent in intricate percussive groove and juxtaposed with sumptuous synth arrangement, Tonaco’s “Setentrional” is a rhythmic tour de force that only pauses for breath at the beatless breakdown, while Dowden’s first of two offerings is a typically impressive offering with “Halstatt” glittering via earworm motif that melds with freeform counterpoint sequence as it evolves through a flurry of white-noise fills and mesmerising presence.

A slow-burning jewel that combines strong rhythmic force with running bassline presence, “Retro” finds Ivan Aliaga showcasing an evolving melodic tapestry that waxes and wanes with ease, while “Misanthropy” is another rhythm-fuelled affair that demonstrates why NOIYSE PROJECT is a name currently on the lips of the progressive cognoscenti with his club-friendly groove and ear for melodic emotion. Moving forwards, the low-slung groove of EMPHI’s “The Box” helps to generate a brooding wall of sound that builds in tension-filled phases that rise and fall in ever-evolving synth work and stereo-panned white-noise effects.

The second track from Dowden see him join forces with Meanwhile’s other co-founder as the immaculate production credentials of Matter see beautiful piano phrases glitter across “York”, fully exposed at the mid-point where reverb-drenched and delay-soaked chords vie for space with a dynamic rhythmic backdrop and ticking hi-hat percussion. Ending as it starts, smooth melodic patterns flow from the fingertips of Gorkiz and Distro in cascading layers of dreamy sonic passages that create a coruscating mosaic of sound atop the blistering rhythmic energy of “Staring at the Sun”.

A 10-track trip through the sound of modern progressive house, “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2” is a journey to remember.

Today we have a truly classic track with us as our PHW / PHW Elements Christmas Gift, as we see the track that really kicked things of from this absolutely amazing talent from the UK, the one and only Toby Hedges and his timeless production ”Mirai”. It feels like just around the corner, and still it is almost 3 years since this track arrived to the world. About the original there isn't a thungs that haven't been said over the years, and we leave it like that. We are certain all prog lovers remember this PHW signing. 

Though we see it coming back, and what is better than bringing another tremendous producer back on it, and whipp on a total remake of it. Our good buddy and co worker on PHW, Eleve is giving this worldwide recognized track his tweak and twist, and the out come is fair to say absolutely superb with a juicy groove, cool vocal elements added on together with the laid back and yet pumping feel. We absolutely love it, and hope to see a lot of attention for it, as it is what it deserves, super work Jarl as always!

LESH - TEARDROPS EP [PHW280]
Release Date: 28 Aug, 2017 

A familiar face, as a member of the PHW family for years now, we see another return from Lesh on the label. With numerous originals and remixes on the label, we do think you all know you are about to be in for a treat as he is on a roll here and about to get you on to a truly warm and melodic journey, as tasty as ever. 

This 3-track EP flies of in style, as the opener as well as the title track “Teardrops” is a warm and melody driven progressive production, just he spoilt us with with over the years. If chord progressions, emotional textures and layered melodies is your thing, your search is over. Next up, we see the second track, named as “Promises” is a bit different story told by Lesh. With a bit more pace and energy blended with top notch melodic layers he’s about to send you of on another progressive journey, so refreshing. He’s definitely a man of melodies and he delivers in full flare with a plethora of sounds and textures. Closing up with the 3rd and final production, “Secrets” that also goes the same path as this is another superb melodic number, with added on vocals and all those atmospheric textures to make it another lovely number if smooth melodic progressive music is your thing.

We definitely think you have a strong contender here for your collection, and we love to see how this producer evolve his sound and producing style. With Lesh on board, you know there is a quality release right around the corner!

AK & Tim Schaufert - Tides

RELEASE DATE 2020-05-22
LABEL onedotsixtwo
CATALOG ODST0026
Onedotsixtwo continues to strike whilst the Progressive House iron is well and truly molten hot. Our 27th release bears the fruit of a magical meeting of minds, namely Australian favourite Matter & Sri Lanka's Prince of Prog, Dimuth K, with their Road to Stanton Moor EP.

Matty and Dim deliver two absolute belters for this release. The lead track 'Road to Stanton Moor' is a deep and throbbing builder with tight percussion and eerie effects layers that float in and out of the track, as it rockets towards a momentous breakdown that's guaranteed to send any dancefloor (or, right now, living room) sideways.

The AA side 'Exhale' packs a progressive punch in equal measure, built around beautifully crafted synth lines and infectious melodies with some serious low end rigour for late night moments. Exhale made its debut at Woodstock 69 in 2019, grace a our old friend Hernan Cattaneo, and it's been that elusive 'ID-ID' ever since, popping up in numerous sets from Hernan and Nick Warren since last summer.
