Release info:
" A truly talented artist with huge following and global appeal, Alex O’Rion continues to go from strength to strength within the world of underground dance. With his work spanning some 15 years of commercial releases, the Dutch master is a welcome returnee to Meanwhile with a stellar quartet of original tracks.

A regular across the industry’s finest purveyors of modern and cerebral progressive house music, Alex O’Rion has constantly found his music featured on such esteemed imprints as Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat, Guy J’s Lost & Found and Nick Warren’s Hope. A regular visitor to the upper echelons of the Beatport charts, over a million Spotify streams in 2020 and 4,000 followers points to broad appeal and wide-ranging support.

Now returning to Meanwhile after a trio of remixes for label head-honchos GMJ & Matter on June 2020’s “Gauntlet” and February 2021’s “The Path”, Alex O’Rion now returns to the label with a devastating 4-track original EP of unrivalled quality.

The “Echium” title track is a blistering sub-bass monster that drives along powerfully on a bed of ticking hi-hats and chest-thumping kick. Building in momentum, smooth pads and effortless synth lines flow across the 8-minute piece before revelling in a stripped-back breakdown. Picking up the pace again in the third movement, gorgeous harmonic overtones layer delicately across each other, borne of never-ending delay sweeps.

“Stranded” continues the powerful rhythmic narrative and otherworldly sonic landscape before a percussive loop provides subtle melodic phrasing. Shifting synth sequences bisect the left-right spectrum as waves of white noise fall against a rocky outcrop of percussive hats. Melodic lines continue to evolve in delicate patterns into the second half in a sonic palette of sheer bliss.

A sumptuous bassline groove propels “The Chase” through its hypnotic paces, accompanied by a chugging rhythmic backdrop. Simultaneously, gentle synth motifs pulsate in side-chained synchronicity as a rich symphony of sound swells into the second half against a plucked earworm phrase. The result is a dynamic and devastating club-friendly track that is sure to inspire a multitude of hands-in-the-air moments.

“The Serpent” ends the quadrilogy with its rippling sound effects that cascade in spiral patterns against a melodious foreground. Delicate percussive patterns marry with a deep resonant kick to provide a rhythmic anchor, giving freeform synth motifs the opportunity to express a meandering sonic voyage that reaches a powerful crescendo at the midpoint. Hitting its stride again in the third movement with additional melodic sequencing, the result is a charismatic end to an outstanding original EP."

PREMIERE: Alex O'Rion - Stranded (Original Mix) [meanwhile]

EMPHI —known as Johan started his musical journey at an early age having musicians in the family, paving his own way with his progressive and melodic sound under the moniker ’EMPHI’.

Approaching two years since his debut, the Swedish artist has continued to build an impressive resume. Releases on Yotto’s Odd One Out, Balkan Connection, Hoomidaas and a remix for Dmitry Molosh on Deepwibe Underground. 

All landed with resounding success, firmly etching the Stockholm resident as one of progressive music’s top new comers according to Release Promo and Progressive Astronaut.

With 2022 looking to be a breakout year, EMPHI now makes his return on Mango Alley with a remix for EANP. With a stunning rendition of ‘Supreme’. 

Opting for a slightly deeper approach, EMPHI has not only delivered an excellent complement to the original, but has also conjured up some dance floor while a spine-tingling break and thunderous drop ultimately seal it’s brilliance. Excellent as always from EMPHI, which makes for a memorable return to Mango Alley.

"Triptych, Vol. 1" brings three distinct perspectives on the darker edge of melodic music. Herr Nilsson delivers a tense and cinematic opening driven by deep textures and controlled rhythmic gravity. Axel Zambrano shifts the energy into sharper, more kinetic territory with tight percussion and shadowed melodic details. Balthasar Freitag closes the release with an evolving atmospheric narrative built on depth, space, and late-night tension. Each track explores its own angle of the release’s dark melodic spectrum.

🔥 Supported by DJs & Producers: Joyce Muniz ("Nice One"), Lonya ("Great Stuff Here"), Ziger ("Thanks For The Music"), Nosh & Sj ("Nice Stuff"), Moonbeam ("Support"), Spieltape ("Good Selection, Thanks"), Plus Thirty ("Thanks"), Kurt Kjergaard ("Cool Tunes"), Initial Eyes ("Coool"), Morris Tellez ("Great"), and many others.

Cid Inc's Replug Records welcomes Sebastian Busto to the label with a two track artist showcase. Widely regarded for crafting the deep and  progressive spectrum's of house, the Buenos Aires resident has long been a favourite of world class DJs Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. The Argentinean artist also lays claim to an impressive discography, highlighted by releases on Magician On Duty, Sudbeat Music and The Soundgarden. Now making his much anticipated Replug debut, Sebastian presents his ‘Workaholic' EP. 

Sebastian's ability to craft evocative musical journeys is second to none. How he incorporates emotion in subtle yet profound ways is what makes him such a unique producer, and not to mention a favourite of the underground's most prominent tastemakers. The lead track ‘Workaholic' displays that perfectly, with its warm, rolling groove and sleek, rhythmic narrative. Deep, pulsating and full of intricate detail, the first act builds with a veteran's refinement. Developing in waves, exotic drums and subtle shades and tones fill in the framework, before a short break shifts the narrative into emotive territory, as impassioned chord changes and charming effects steal the air. Wondrously musically, melodic fragments carry into the centrepiece, heightening the senses, eventually giving way to a pensive roll and storyboard of astral designs and organic percussion. 

The companion piece ‘Journey to Ixtlan' follows suit with an equally impressive display of rhythm, groove and musicality. Pulsating and energetic, it's a creation built around cross cultural motifs and percussive drive. Worldly vocal wails fill the air with a soulful charm, as melodic fragments elevate mood into a well timed second act. Playing out over two magical minutes, the centrepiece is a story within a story, wondrously imaginative and incredibly compelling, as bassy rumblings fade into wistful overlays, before smoothly segueing into a vibrant finale. 

In a year that has seen Sebastian unveil his most satisfying work to date, he continues in auspicious fashion with ‘Workaholic'. A fitting Replug debut, with two productions that will not only satisfy the most discerning progressive house aficionados, but also stand the test of time incredibly well.
