Release info:
"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”."

PREMIERE: Alex O'Rion - The Serpent (Sebastian Sellares Remix) [meanwhile]

Release Date:08/04

Presenting their second release of the year, Eat My Hat Music unveils a new single from Ziger and Mind Conspiracy. 2021 saw the Greek duo flex their collaborative powers, teaming up for two well-received singles entitled ‘Your Way’ and ‘Bitter Sweet’, which landed in February and December respectively. With the latter holding a place in the label’s top five best sellers on Beatport, Eat My Hat boss Ziger has orchestrated a third and much anticipated joint project with Mind Conspiracy entitled ‘The Light’, alongside a remix from label artist Eleven Of July. 

Beginning with the Original Mix, Ziger and Mind Conspiracy demonstrate just how strong their creative synergy has become. Led by a smooth groove, sleek rhythms and astral synth stylings, its cosmic nature captivates from the outset. Warm and inviting across the first act, a melodic sensibility rises as flickering sonics and sweeping effects blanket the charged groove. Stripping down into the main break, the duo digs further into their emotive repertoire, by introducing colourful arps and a heartfelt vocal, resulting in the ultimate dance floor moment, before eventually giving way to a rush of drums for a euphoric finale. 

Returning to the label and providing the lone interpretation of ‘The Light’ is August Proto aka Eleven Of July. November of last year marked the Italian artist’s Eat My Hat debut with a three-track showcase entitled ‘Fearless’. Now embarking on his fifth year as professional producer, August has continued to go from strength to strength, landing releases via Awen Recordings, Beyond Now, Movement Recordings and Us and Them Records, while earning the praise of &ME, Dj Tennis, Dubfire, Undercatt and more. Continuing to build a bond with Eat My Hat as 2022 takes shape, Eleven Of July now returns to the label with a powerful rendition of ‘The Light’. Fluid and groovy in equal measure, it’s a mix that carries the sensibility of the original, while adding more of a melodic techno vibe through tougher beats, unique sonic artifacts and otherworldly effects. Building beautifully into the break, shimmering arps and a ghostly vocal take centrestage, adding further to its emotive sensibility, before a billowing drop spearheads a glowing finale. A stunning rendition from the fast-rising Italian artist, rounding out another must have offering from Ziger’s Eat My Hat Music.

Ziger & Mind Conspiracy - The Light  (Original)

This 23rd label release features reworkings of each original track from Rez Dorsia's beautifully-composed Canvas EP, previously released on Vested Recordings.

Each song was reconstructed with great care and given a new persona while staying true to the spirit of its first incarnation, giving true value to the statement that a proper remix makes.

Manet Green gets a stellar remix treatment from Freedo Mosho – an artistic supernova in a sky full of stars. It's a true pleasure to feature this beautiful progressive remodeling that has been proven time and time again already on a wide variety of dancefloors.

You'll most certainly want to add this Canvas to your own musical gallery.

Roger Martinez's Higher States opens the new year by welcoming FJL to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Rosario, the Argentinean artist first emerged in 2020 with a contribution to BC2's ‘Novus' collection, a track which would tip him as a name to watch in the world of progressive house. Further successes would come across the next three calendar years, with key projects via Or Two Strangers, Mango Alley and Sound Avenue highlighting his resume, in turn earning the support of Above & Beyond, Ezequiel Arias, Hernan Cattaneo, Roy Rosenfeld, Khen, Mariano Mellino and Nick Warren, amongst others. With his latest Mango Alley vehicle ‘Fixation' starting the year on a high note, FJL continues on an upwards trajectory with his Higher States debut ‘Forgotten Angels'.

FJL continues to explore his club-effective style on the lead selection ‘Forgotten Angels'. Fluid and energetic throughout, it's a framework of warm kick drums and full basslines which lay the foundation for flashing percussion, and shape shifting atmospheres to create a smooth first act. Emotive key changes flow through the groove, as muted tones and airy gates rise across the main break, adding a cosmic character into the mix and setting the course for a tastefully uplifting finale.

Surveying a darker monochrome is selection two 'Night Creatures' which further cements FJL's dancefloor minded ethos. Its rippling drive is anchored by powerful beats and capsizing bass stabs; nicely accented with a clever co-ax of driving percussion and orbiting effects. A tension-filled break sits at the core of the journey, gently melting down to an array of interplanetary clusters and a thumping peaktime conclusion.

Selection three 'No Return' showcases FJL's repertoire further with a smooth and equally powerful journey. Clocking in at eight minutes in length, the Rosario resident's creative prowess shines once again, as he crafts a lively club cut that is rich in rhythm, groove and atmosphere. Thunderous basslines, hopeful pads and a capsizing swing create a perfect balance of hypnotic energy, before giving way to a mystical break and groove-centric finale that's sure to leave a lasting memory on the dancefloor.

Madness Right

Nicolas Giordano - Madness Right (Federico Cabrera Remix)

Originally from Dublin but now firmly ensconced in his adopted Australian home, Alan Thomas Doyle has carved a growing reputation with his Amháin production moniker. Here he joins forces with Swedish producer EMPHI for a classy outing of proper progressive which doubles as both their Balance Music debut.

With 'Hekla,' we progress towards the moment the sun sets. The minor keys create a more mysterious force, suggesting deeper introspection. The drums are sturdier yet inviting, made more hypnotic by the rhythmic shift of the bass throb. A syncopated wood block vibrates, serving as a starting point for classic synth sounds to emerge. During the breakdown, a vocal sample is introduced, offering prudent, reflective advice. The night is looking good.
