Operating out of his Brooklyn studio, Mike Isai is a new name to grace the Meanwhile catalogues as the Australian imprint delivers its 18th release with “Home / 87 North”. A single remix comes from fellow US artist, Forerunners.

A relative newcomer to the Progressive House scene, Mike Isai’s nascent production career has already seen a debut on the Nick Warren led, Hope Recordings, via September 2020’s “Pillars to Butterflies” EP. A March 2021 reworking of Shanil Alox’s “Algorithm” for Droid9 illustrated Isai’s remix capabilities, as the US star now debuts on Meanwhile with his twin-tracker.

Opening proceedings, “Home” is a dark and sultry piece that pulsates hypnotically through its near 9-minute voyage with a panoply of textured layers and white-noise effects. Quickly hitting its stride, a pounding kick is accompanied by an immaculately syncopated synth motif that provides the basis for a counterpoint phrase to sit elegantly on top in glittering repetitive pattern. Reaching a rousing filtered denouement at the mid-point, “Home” drops back into a familiar arrangement as all elements combine to impressive effect in the third movement.

Continuing the powerful rhythmic framework of its partner, “87 North” immediately impresses with its 16th note bassline and seismic kick. Another syncopated synth loop provides an imposing trademark production technique as haunting melodies drift over the mid-range, drenched in reverb and white-noise washes. Coruscating pads add further intrigue as the 7-minute piece evolves, coming fully to the fore in a ‘wall of sound’ breakdown, before the second half picks up the pace again with percussive intensity. The juxtaposition of meandering melodic threads and bassline urgency thus creates an impressively woven dynamism.

Another new artist to grace Meanwhile finds Arizona based Brenden LaBonte creating a potent wave of success with his Forerunners moniker. With over a double century of production credits to his name for some of the finest modern dance imprints, Sudbeat Music, Anjunadeep, and Black Hole have all played host to the US artist’s emotive soundscapes. Reworking “Home”, the Forerunners remix is chock full of the trademark soundscapes that characterise LaBonte’s work, with whispering melodies floating atop a powerful beat and ticking hi-hat groove. A relentless bassline sequence adds weight and poise over the 8-minute offering as subtle variations on Mike Isai’s original make their presence felt. Pausing for breath at a spine-tingling mid-point, cadenced bass groove and subtle melodic prowess hit the heights in the latter stages.

New music sees Mike Isai guided home by his north star, accompanied by a shining remix from Forerunners.

We are thrilled to welcome back Zstimmer to feature on the Remix pack for Gina Lunata's revisit to the label. He first appeared back in 2024 alongside Wru with their powerful rework of Circulation’s Raindeers & Beer — a true beast of an Electronica/Breaks track. This time, he steps out solo, unveiling his distinctive sound through a spiralling, hypnotic soundscape that transforms Still "Love You at Your Worst" into a deeply immersive listening experience. We can’t wait to share more of his music in the year ahead.

Gina Lunata - Still Love You at Your Worst (Zstimer Remix)_1644 RS Mastering

Une pulsation fluide qui glisse sans effort. Le groove se construit autour de micro-variations organiques, de percussions fines et de mélodies légères. C’est un mouvement constant, naturel, qui évoque l’eau, la respiration et l’équilibre intérieur.

🌬️✨ SACRED AIR / ALBUM

SACRED AIR est un voyage intérieur dédié aux éléments invisibles : le souffle, la lumière, les rêves, la nuit, la terre et le ciel. Chaque track explore une forme différente d’aération spirituelle — du vent qui murmure aux lueurs de l’aube, de la profondeur terrestre à l’ascension céleste.

L’album se déploie comme un rituel moderne :

des basslines chaleureuses,

des percussions organiques,

des pads expansifs,

des textures sacrées,

et une progression émotionnelle lente, cinématique, méditative.

Dans SACRED AIR, chaque morceau est un souffle, un espace, un passage.
Un équilibre entre le terre et l’air, le corps et l’âme, le visible et l’intangible.

C’est une ode à ce qui nous traverse sans que nous puissions le retenir — un hommage à la beauté de ce qui ne se voit pas mais se ressent profondément.
