Originally released at the end of 2022, “EXT 135 / Elemental / Time to Space” showcased GMJ & Matter as masters of the progressive house genre. Now, Meanwhile revisits the 3-track EP with a trio of outstanding new remixes.

Henri Hurtig has been at the vanguard of modern underground dance music for close to two decades with his Cid Inc. production alter-ego. Some 600+ production credits for the likes of microCastle, Lost & Found and his own highly respected, Replug, are testament to an enduring appeal as is a packed tour calendar where the Finnish star continues to tour the world. Now making his Meanwhile debut, the Cid Inc. remix of “Elemental” retains a similar rhythmic poise to the original as a familiar bass pattern blends with a squeaking, bleeping effects layer. A trademark storming beat and seething dancefloor character is in full evidence as a distorted and frenetic breakdown leads to a new melodic character in the second half to brilliant effect. The result is a typically impressive reworking full of dynamism and brio.

A rising star in the progressive firmament since early work for EIN2 in 2018, Tantum has hit considerable heights with his music on Juicebox Music, Mango Alley and Guy J’s Lost & Found. A Meanwhile debut in mid-2023 saw “Secondary / Suan Pan / Narko” place the German star front and centre with a musical triptych of the highest order, as Tantum now returns with a deep and innovative take on “Time to Space”. Replete with rolling groove and deep bassline presence, a more stripped back offering allows the central motif from the original a chance to flourish within a new cadenced structure, while richly textured pads flow effortlessly across the musical stream. Rising and falling in easy patterns, a new arpeggiated pattern makes itself heard alongside a raft of additional production material and counterpoint melodies as the remix heads towards a rousing finale.

Reworking “EXT 135” themselves, Meanwhile head honchos, GMJ & Matter have given the track a sublime “Ambient Reprise”. Stripping away the powerful rhythmic backdrop of the original, the duo have created a sublime interpretation that captures the central melodic elements of the original, allowing them to blossom unencumbered by dancefloor character. The result is a chorus of deliciously crafted keynotes and melodies that blend together in seamless fashion, held together by a deep sub-bass groove. The result is a smooth and pristine slice of electronica magic.

Shining once more through remixes from Cid Inc. and Tantum, GMJ & Matter have given a new lease of life to “EXT 135 / Elemental / Time to Space”.

Spring Sampler 2024

Alex Otto - Hurricane [Future Avenue]

An artist with a long and varied career, dating back over a decade, Luis León continues to chart a path of innovation with his ‘diverse musical landscapes'. Returning to Proton Music, after a year's absence, he returns in a collaboration with Unseener to present, "Concorde".

Peruvian born but ensconced in his current Barcelona home, Luis León is a notable producer and co-founder of the Blankhaus label. Able to point to a portfolio of appearances on over a century of releases, the Spanish-based artist initially found success with a series of high-profile bootleg remixes. Going on to release original and remix production material on the likes of Manjumasi, Nie Wieder Schlafen and Chapter 24 Records, a Proton Music debut in January 2023 saw a remix of Erdi Irmak. Returning to the label, Luis León now teams up with Unseener after their collaborative work saw success on Blankhaus, as the duo debut with "Concorde". Opening with a shimmering synth backdrop, an intricate rhythmic framework quickly makes its mark as a breakbeat pattern fills the soundstage with a head-shaking groove and meticulous percussive patterns. A haunting female vocal elevates the track further as it melts enticingly across the exquisitely timed piece. The beautiful combination of vocal and melody, combined with dynamic rhythm, thus creates a truly memorable offering.

The legendary figure of Petar Dundov has been a regular contributor to the Proton Music catalogue since a June 2019 debut remixing Simos Tagias. Since then, December 2020's "Salvation" and October 2021's "Spark" has seen stellar original releases from the Croatian star. Returning to the label for the first time since a remix of Desaturate in early 2022, the Petar Dundov remix is yet another masterpiece of melodic prowess as a high-energy reworking makes virtue of the breakbeat foundation, turning it into a powerful setting for elegant piano and sumptuous melodies from the original to make their presence felt. A huge, sustained bassline adds gravitas against the light vocal flourishes before a trademark arpeggio blossoms post- breakdown in another stunning interpretation from the Petar Dundov studio.

Another long-time friend of Proton family, Juan Deminicis is Argentinean progressive royalty. An artist of innumerable talents, the Buenos Aires based artist is responsible for almost a half-century of production credits across its two labels. 30 of those can be found on Proton Music where "Behind the Sun", "Synchronicity", "Water" and "Cycles" have lit up the label with an array of original material. Remixes for the likes of Michael A, Mark Slee and Savvas have shown another side to the Juan Deminicis production character as his reworking of "Concorde" showcases yet another elegantly sculpted offering. Using a 4/4 beat and a rapid-fire hi-hat/shaker combination, melodic lines from the original filter into range as a new rippling arpeggio adds so the sonic melange. A spine-tingling new bassline sequence and repeated motif continue to maintain urgency and dynamism while the vocals from the original scud easily across the 8-minute piece featuring prominently at the beatless breakdown. Hitting is stride once more in the second half an additional piano phrase supplies another majestic moment.

Flying high into rarefied atmosphere, Luis León & Unseener have hit new heights with "Concorde", additionally supported by Petar Dundov and Juan Deminicis.

St.Ego - Unleash the Beat (Original Mix) [Preview]

"The Clapping Song" is an American song, written by Lincoln Chase, originally arranged by Charles Calello and recorded by Shirley Ellis in 1965, shortly after Ellis had released "The Name Game".
The song returned to the charts when the British pop-rock band “The Belle Stars” covered the song in 1982, on their self-titled LP. Their version charted at number 11 in the UK, and number 4 in Australia.
In our edit we kept some original vocals but we added some electronic beats and modular bass to create fresh and high vibes. The result is an instant classic for every dancefloor.
