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.

PREMIERE: Mike Rish - Mindgame (Original Mix)[Meanwhile Recordings]

'With the 45th release on their esteemed imprint, GMJ and Matter welcome Tantum to Meanwhile with his 3-track, "Secondary / Suan Pan / Narko".

Entering the world of music by way of electric guitar, it wasn't long before Tantum started to experiment with the music of legendary figures including Eric Prydz, Deadmau5 and Fehrplay. Quickly finding his feet with a distinctive blend of melodic techno and progressive house, the German made an impressive debut on EIN2 in late 2018 in partnership with Thales Boutroumlis. A full EP debut on Juicebox Music followed in early 2019 from which Tantum has continued to find himself forging an impressive path, culminating in May 2023's "Korner" for the Praveen Achary led imprint. Close to a century of production credits have followed that early work with releases on Mango Alley, Monaberry and Guy J's Lost and Found. It is for the latter, that Tantum has released 3 EPs including January 2023's "Another Day / Havel / Acetone". 

Supported by a prominent and growing band of A-listers including Super Flu, Nick Warren, Sasha and Guy J himself, it is an honour to welcome Tantum to Meanwhile for a debut release. Driven forward by a chest-thumping kick and ticking percussion, "Secondary" soon finds a smooth bass groove providing dancefloor credentials. A shimmering arpeggio pans the stereo spectrum with ease as occasional note changes pique interest. Reaching a filtered zenith at a gloriously extended breakdown, the track drops back into its low-slung groove in the third movement to impressive effect.

Continuing with a similar cast of characters assembled for "Suan Pan", a strong beat and hypnotic arpeggio once again play their part as a delay-infused analogue synth lead creates subtle tension and spine-tingling atmosphere. Using melodic elements as the main rhythmic force, the track rises and falls with ease while a bassline sequence acts as a dancefloor anchor alongside off-beat hi-hats. The result is an exciting original production.

The final piece sees another atmospheric offering, courtesy of "Narko". Redolent in eerie stereo-panned effects and mesmerising melodic sequence, muted stabs come to life with gradual open-filtered energy. A further counterpoint melody enters the fray at the breakdown, rising to a rousing and chaotic LFO frenzy before the narrative of previous tracks is continued via heavy rhythmic pattern and sub-bass groove.

Hitting the heights with easy skill and sublime artistry, Tantum delights with "Secondary / Suan Pan / Narko".'

John Moblack makes a strong return to 3rd Avenue with his latest offering, "Future Romance EP." Having already released two EPs on Sound Avenue, the Mexico-based producer continues to refine his sound, blending deep, atmospheric textures with hypnotic grooves. Drawing inspiration from artists like Guy J, John Digweed, and Maceo Plex, John has been carving out his place in the progressive house and melodic techno scene.

Benja Molina - Universe One

Concrete Nights is a dark, pulsating journey into the heart of the city after midnight — where concrete breathes bass and neon lights reflect off the dancefloor. The album captures the raw energy of underground clubs, blending deep sub-frequencies, industrial rhythms, and hypnotic textures that pull the listener deeper into the night.

This is a sound narrative of warehouses, basement venues, and sleepless hours between darkness and dawn. Concrete Nights isn’t background music — it’s built for heavy sound systems, shadow-filled rooms, and movement without thought. Each track escalates the tension and drive until time dissolves and only rhythm remains.

Fusing techno, industrial, and dark club elements, the album delivers a gritty, urban atmosphere for those who live after hours and feel the bass through their bones. 🌃🔊

The "Hidden Arcadia" series has seen Erdi Irmak curate a wonderful collection of music. Now entering its third incarnation, a pair of brand-new original tracks are paired with two outstanding new remixes courtesy of UK and Argentinean artists.

Adding to a five-year long association with the flagship imprint and burgeoning portfolio of original tracks under the "Hidden Arcadia" banner, "Awakening" is a typically immaculate affair. Full of intricate rhythms and rolling groove that takes its influence from Irmak's Turkish origins, a series of grooved motifs and chords play across the mid-range before a meandering lead line and sublime keys add multiple layers of textured melody. Evolving throughout, Irmak's craftmanship and musical ability are in full view. "Reflection" continues the same rhythmic palette as its predecessor, but a laid-back percussive cadence and languid melodic overtones provide an apt aural representation of the title. A rich bass groove carries the track hypnotically forward as a flowing lead line supplies an intelligent musical narrative given electronic context with its background of cadenced chords.

Through their work with the ground-breaking Oleeva Records, Tom Chambers and Will Spence have created a model that merges the twin concepts of music and art into a single symbiotic whole. At the vanguard of the electronica and deep house scene, the duo's Kotu production moniker has seen their production talent on full display. Through a belief in the "mysterious, often unexplainable power of music and sound", Kotu have found themselves regulars on the likes of Nie Wieder Schlafen, Dream Culture and Anjunadeep, supported by a growing body of A-list DJs that include Joris Voorn, Nick Warren and Maceo Plex. Making their Proton Music debut, the Kotu remix takes the central motif of "Endless Way" and transforms the original by creating a beautifully meandering freeform melody that captures the ethnic themes of the original in new organic instrumentation. Wrapped in an immaculately crafted rhythmic groove, the track rises and falls with consummate ease to create a stunning new interpretation.

Matias Chilano is no stranger to success in the world of underground dance, quickly finding an outlet for his creative talents with support from iconic fellow Argentinean, Hernan Cattaneo. DJ performances across his homeland alongside Nick Warren, Cid Inc. and Quivver have seen Chilano build an impressive fanbase as production work in tandem has seen him release music on a host of blue-chip imprints that include the likes of Movement Recordings, Balkan Connection and Juicebox Music. Making his Proton Music debut in April 2019 remixing Huminal's "Macropsia", Matias Chilano now turns his attention to Erdi Irmak's "Echoes in Time" with suitable aplomb. Retaining themes that resonate throughout the original, Chilano's skill is to create a rich rhythmic framework from which a series of new melodic ideas flow. Introducing new motifs and phrases, these sit atop Irmak's textured pads and opulent sonic palette in majestic fashion.

New music from Erdi Irmak plus remixes from Kotu and Matias Chilano find true poetic harmony in sound and vision.
