As Michael A continues his fruitful relationship with Proton Music, the Belarusian artist blossoms with a third instalment of his successful EP series. Adding to a raft of immaculate original tracks and powerful remixes, "Fantasy, Vol. 3" now takes centre stage.

Opening proceedings, "Spring Singing" is an aptly titled jaunt through smooth progressive house territory as a light percussive backdrop and deep kick pave the way for melodic touches to weave their way across the track in delightfully pitched variations. Building into the second half, the track hits its zenith with an effortless combination of rhythm and melody. "You Are Here" continues the intricate percussive top line arrangement of its predecessor before a rich sub-bass groove adds depth. Subtle melodic motifs wend their way at the mid-point as synth phrases shimmering in panned delays provide the perfect sonic colour. Developing, after the breakdown a scintillating dancefloor track erupts as the powerful kick creates a dynamic force. The third original track finds "Poison Pan" opening with a stunning combination of bass dominance and intelligently cadenced rhythm. White-noise fuelled pads add weight while a shimmering arp filters into sonic range, backed by counterpoint chords and raw LFO power at the breakdown. The delicate groove and sumptuous arp build once more in the second half to magical effect.

A newcome to the Proton Music catalogues, about : river have already demonstrated their flair talent via an array of labels including Nie Wieder Schlafen, Sound Avenue and Everything Will Be OK. Combining the craftsmanship of Oleg and Ervin Ivanov, the father and son partnership hit the ground running with June 2021's "Go Into The Mist" EP. Featuring a glorious musical triptych, the duo debut on Proton Music with a beautifully imagined interpretation of "Fantasy". Using the melodic themes inherent in Michael A's work, the about : river remix creates a sumptuous melodic tapestry that weaves golden threads in intricate sonic patterns to create a stunning new picture that pitches and falls in delicate patterns. Anchored by a driving beat and clicking, ticking percussive patterns, the result is an original and imaginative interpretation.

A second newcomer finds Alan Thomas Doyle creating another a progressive house gem through his amháin moniker. An artist who has performed in Europe, North America and across his native Australia, amháin has found his production talents in similar demand with work for The Purr, Sound Avenue and Meanwhile. A single remix for Particles in May 2021, remixing Loveclub, Mariner + Domingo, is now followed by a lilting progressive gem that takes the central melodic themes of "Silent Moments" and transforms them into a rolling groove-fuelled affair that is filled with delicate spot effects and pitched synth phrasing. Making clever use of the original components, a free-flowing interpretation waxes and wanes with ease across the 7-minute piece.

Michael A's "Fantasy" opens a new world of mystery and magic with three new originals and remixes from about : river and amháin.

Michael A - Spring Singing

Launching their Meanwhile Horizons imprint with suitable flair in August 2021 with “Beyond The Horizon”. Initially through a quartet of sparkling tracks, GMJ & Matter return to the series with a second edition. Seven new pieces now showcase the talents of established and newcomers alike within “Beyond The Horizon Volume 2”.

Fresh from his “We Are One” EP for Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden, Zankee Gulati opens the compilation with the atmospheric “The Magic Spoon”. Redolent in rolling percussive groove and thickly textured pads, a rippling arpeggio paves the way for a laconic lead synth to meander across the 9-minute piece, taking centre stage at the breakdown. Typically deep and brooding, Meanwhile regular, Imran Khan, highlights a raft of production magic within “Serenity”. Immaculately woven sonic patterns meander across the aptly named track as modulated pads and layered sequences mingle deliciously together. A heavy beat and regular off-beat percussion add to the trademark mesmerising vibe.

Following up on September 2022’s “Space Walk” EP, Covsky joins forces with newcomer, Frais, as the pair hit the ground running with “Sands of Time”. Full of emotion, a wonderful sub-bass groove creates a flawless foundation for a suite of elegant melodic layers to weave an imaginative sonic picture, reaching a rousing crescendo at the mid-point before bursting into life in the second half. A Horizons debutant, Federico Puentes, paints an evocative aural landscape as “Autumn Leaves” delivers a meticulous percussive framework within which smooth motifs and breathy vocal counterweight, flow in repeated patterns. Pausing for breath to let the melodic elements shine, the second half continues to paint the vivid melodic patterns of earlier movements.

Another Meanwhile first-timer with releases on Mango Alley, The Soundgarden and Keyfound, Billka makes a powerful impression with his delicate “Promises”. A repeated bassline and synth motif belies its simplicity as emotion is built midway via sublime vocal sequences. Coupled with deep kick and light percussive air, the track flourishes to a masterful sonic conclusion. UK producer, Fabreeka, has witnessed an impressive rise to prominence since a 2019 debut for Mistique Music, and his “Dream Path” is full of innovative motifs that blend together to create the perfect symbiotic whole. Through strong rhythm and rolling hi-hat groove, the track reaches its zenith in the third movement to striking effect.

The final track sees GMJ return to familiar ground with his Qiam alter-ego. Making his debut on “Beyond the Horizon”, “Light Recall” is a masterfully produced ambient piece that glistens with sonic stardust. Deliciously textured pads modulate across the left/right spectrum, while discordant analogue synth patterns play out in pitched delays before powerful bassline and vocal effects lift the track through its latter stages. Intelligently imagined, a raft of layers delivers intrigue and innovation in equal measure.

Seven tracks of the highest quality capture the imagination “Beyond The Horizon Volume 2”.

PREMIERE :  Rudra - All At Once [Movement Recordings]
BUY : https://www.beatport.com/release/all-at-once/4915753
Release date : 21/02/2025

Rounding out the month of February, Tashs Movement Recordings welcomes Rudra back to the label for his debut EP. As one of Indias longest running progressive house artists, Rudra has been a fixture of the genres scene for well over a decade. First emerging in 2012, the Kolkata resident has steadily been making a name for himself with a string of well-crafted records that present a cutting edge sound. 3rd Avenue, aboriginal, Juicebox Music and Mango Alley have all been landing spots for Rudras elusive sound, while he continues to earn support from progressive musics top tastemakers. Already a contributor to the Movement label collective, Rudra has appeared on the imprints Limited and primary divisions, the most recent of which was a remix of TEELCOs Groove Odyssey. Now, returning to the label for his first EP, Rudra unveils his All at Once artist showcase. The dark crunchy vibes of the title track sets the pace for Rudras All at Once collection. Punchy kick drums and precise percussive arrangements lay the foundation for striking stabs and sweeping effects to paint a captivating storyboard, while placid pads and blurred reverberations deliver a hazy soundscape across a timeless style break. Selection two Direction lands with equal dancefloor vigor, as Rudra flexes his groove crafting prowess across the seven-minute piece. Mystical arps and calming overlays highlight an emotive top line, continually evolving as reprocessed pianos deliver a genuine emotion across a goosebump worthy break, before getting washed away into a charged finale that is both energetic and confident. The third and final selection Spontaneous arrives in psychedelic fashion with elastic-like effects and dubbed out tones creating a prophetic mood early on. Carrying this mesmerizing hypnotism forward, Rudras masterstroke is to melt the proceedings down into a cavernous break, one where panning effects and acid motifs eventually give way to a finale of stomped out beats.

As GMJ & Matter shake the foundations of the underground house scene with the continued success of the ever-more powerful Meanwhile imprint, “Mood Medicine” sees GMJ return to solo duties with a three-track EP that showcases an inimitable talent.

An artist with an enviable reputation and production portfolio, Gavin Griffin has scaled the north face of the underground dance scene with aplomb, reaching the summit with a distinctive and unique brand of progressive house that finds him one of the industry’s most in-demand producers of recent years. Able to point to a career trajectory that has seen him perform behind the decks at the likes of Amsterdam’s Club NL for Replug’s 10th anniversary event during ADE 2019, or close Melbourne’s “Rainbow Serpent” festival with his fellow countryman, collaborator and co-founder of Meanwhile, GMJ’s list of achievements grows with each passing month.

Furthermore, 2008’s debut for Open Records has gone on to see over 350 production credits form the backbone of the GMJ work ethic that has seen him land bomb after bomb on such celebrated imprints as Balance Music, Replug, Anjunadeep and Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat. A steady stream of hits for Balkan Connection and Proton Music have also seen such notable highlights for the latter that include 2017’s “Sovereign Reality”, 2019’s “Catharsis” and “Mystic Sea” EPs, combined with a trio of collaborative offerings with Matter, including 2019’s highly regarded twin-track, “Interscope”. Similarly, the “Lost in Origin”, “Gauntlet” and “Eldarin” releases for Meanwhile have lit up the world of music amidst a global pandemic.

Returning to the Meanwhile with a debut solo offering, “Mood Medicine” is replete with GMJ’s passion for “deep emotive electronic music” as the title track bristles with percussive firepower before a seismic kick and bouncing, filtered bassline weaves a magical spell across the near 9-minute piece. White-noise effects build the tension as a sparkling arpeggio glitters into life at the mid-point onwards before exploding into the post-breakdown denouement with assurance.

“Precipice” oozes quality with its subterranean bassline and stereo-panned percussive groove. A delayed-motif then makes its way to the fore as subtle note changes add emotion and intrigue. Counterpoint chord progressions through textured pads continue to supply stratified layers of aural atmosphere as the track waxes and wanes with ease and dancefloor know-how.

Carrying on the theme of huge sub-bass phrasing and dynamic rhythmic prowess, “Rite of Passage” builds on the earworm motif of its predecessor by constructing a hypnotic framework that hits its zenith through a combination of soaring pads and filtered white-noise risers. A gloriously melodic breakdown provides a moment of reflection before the track hits its mark once more in the third movement with the combination of melody, rhythm and bass providing a wondrous sonic palette.

A brand-new EP from the mind of GMJ finds “Mood Medicine” providing the perfect tonic.
