Mystic Angel - Kondor

BLACK MAGIC

Released in March 2021, Simos Tagias and his “Euphoria / Emotion” created a sublime musical moment, frozen in time. A year later and Meanwhile returns to the EP with a pair of remixes from Paul Deep and label owners, GMJ & Matter.

Plying his trade from an early age as a DJ across the Buenos Aries province, Paul Deep has an innate understanding of the music that moves club-goers. Able to translate this knowledge into the production arena, the Argentinean has had a stream of successful releases on the underground electronic industry’s finest imprints. From Tale & Tone and Juicebox Music to The Soundgarden and Sudbeat Music, Paul Deep has continued to see his music supported by the DJ elite. Releasing the “Deeper Dye” EP on Meanwhile in June 2021, Paul produced a quartet of tracks that showcased his skill and craftsmanship, followed by an appearance of “Excursions, Vol. 1” two months later with “Milo”.

A debut remix of Roger Martinez in late 2020 is now followed by a typically chunky rhythmic foundation that rolls effortlessly across his interpretation of “Euphoria”. Underneath a tight percussive groove, strains of Tagias’ central motif can be heard that flow over a subterranean bassline. Building with consummate ease, new melodies and additional production from the Paul Deep production portfolio emerge, making their presence felt at the breakdown. Making intelligent use of the remix components, a dark and seething dancefloor destroyer explodes into life in the second half to powerful effect.

GMJ & Matter need little introduction to the Meanwhile literati. A DJ and production pair at the height of their respective powers, the curation and development of their Meanwhile name has been impeccable. Peppering the release schedule with sparkling original productions and 24-carat remixes, the duo’s “Lost on Origin” and “The Path / Perfect Storm” EPs have been notable highlights in the Meanwhile catalogue.

Returning for their second remix after an appearance alongside Paul Deep reworking “80s” from Roger Martinez’s “Cosmic” EP, the GMJ & Matter remix of “Emotion” burns brightly with dancefloor energy. Creating a new cadence from Tagias’ central melodic progression, shimmering synths ripple out in overlapping waves while pulsating pads drive their interpretation forward with elemental force. New motifs, infused with white-noise, fizz and sparkle as they cascade across the beatless breakdown, held in check by a rolling percussion. Dropping back into a sumptuous bassline synergy in the third movement, haunting vocals and immaculately programmed synth phrasing creates a remix of rare and quality and memorable production euphoria.

Through uplifting remixes from Paul Deep and GMJ & Matter, Simos Tagias has created a new state of ecstasy with his “Euphoria” EP.

The elusive 'Imaginear’ rounds out the release and further solidifies the duo’s transcendent abilities. Ezequiel and Sebastian expound their lavish future vision, chasing their relentless curiosity for rhythmic and harmonic experimentation, as fuzzed out notes ring out into timeless suspension, across a bed of mountainous key changing grooves and misty textural refrains. Equally at home above a celebratory skyline or sitting in the emotional sweet spot of an end of the night scenario, its deeper design and thought-provoking atmospherics provide a much-needed dance floor curveball for the more adventurous selectors out there.

Ziger lands back on ICONYC this week with a brand-new single entitled 'Feel the Bass'. The Greek producer continues to be one of the top tier progressive house artists with continued support from Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, along with releases on Eleatics, Beatfreak, Sudbeat and his own Eat My Hat imprint. 

'Feel The Bass' finds Ziger at his creative best with a driving, hypnotic production that's nicely dialed in or the dance floor. Punchy beats and a full, driving groove anchor the piece, as vibrant tones and spacey effects adorn the framework. The main break hits suddenly and its astral charm quickly saturates your pleasure centers, before melting down to a cavernous reservoir as the beats drop for a storming finale. 

The first remix of 'Feel the Bass' comes courtesy of LA based producer Anakim who returns to the label with a deep melodic remix here. The US artist reshapes the original elements into something deeper and more melodic spacious sounding. The wonk factor on the low end is quite high and monumentally groovy as well, nicely playing off the rolling rhythmic qualities as dulcet hooks and gentle harmonics drift in and out of the framework. The main break shifts the narrative into more emotive territory but the dance floor sensibility remains, with muted beats and percussive clusters building towards a tasteful drop. Superb rework from Anakim. 

The third and final interpretation comes from label debutants Propellar. The Berlin based duo follow excellent releases on MUKKE, Katz & Kauz and Family Piknik with a brilliant interpretation here. Deep, compelling and acutely mysterious, it's deep melodic qualities and richly textured groove make for a lovely first act. As atmospheres evolve, distinctive stabs and vocal edits steal the air, before a one-minute break takes you further into a haze of psychedelic audio, perfectly setting up a groovy finale. A brilliant remix from Propellar that's likely destined for the sets of the big boy brigade. Highly recommended.

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.

GMJ and Matter make their return to Sudbeat with an astonishing three track EP. 

Studio partners for years, the pair have carved out a niche sound that captures both artists’ love of electronic music and the souring soundscapes that conjure visceral memories on dancefloors the world over. Signed to everyone from Balance Music to Replug their no nonsense beats are a crowd favourite. 

Opening with ‘Arkeron’ The duo pick up from where they left off on their recent Showcrates offering, ‘Atunga’. Tough drums and rubbery bass framework a delicate arps and icy blasts of pad. A perfect heads down groover. 

‘Soular’ walks a slightly deeper path. Emotional and hypnotic, vocal adlibs and impactful sonics warmly greet you and entice you out onto the floor. A masterpiece of sound design that showcases the duo’s incredible connection. 

Finally, ‘Nassaukade’ hammers home the deepness with a groovy, low slung vibe for the early mornings just before sunrise. Rising slowly the synths are full of eastern promise and hopefulness. I fine ending to an outstanding collection of tracks.

Sebastian Sellares is a Córdoba-based DJ & Producer. Started his musical journey at a very young age, learning to play guitar and listening to Rock, Metal & Pop music, eventually leading him to reach into the electronic side of music. Falling into the hands of the underground, he found house & techno as his main genres, as time passed by he developed a connection with melodies and deeper grooves, focusing his work on the progressive side of these genres.

He has drawn influences from artist like Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Nick Warren, John Digweed, Cid Inc & Guy Mantzur to name a few, some of which have already supported his music
Playing alongside some of the best national Djs, he's becoming one of the next big upcoming artist on the scene, with releases on labels like Above & Beyond "Anjunadeep" imprint, Tripswitch's "OneDotSixTwo", Antrim's "Or Two Strangers" and Aly & Fila's & Paul Thomas "UV" divison of Future Sound of Egypt

BEFORE EDM THERE WAS EBM 😉

I am breathing electronic music since late 70s and that's over 45 years now. From Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Yazoo, Alphaville, Men without Hats, Nitzer Ebb, Die Krupps, Front 242, Anne Clark, Camouflage, Gary Numan, OMD, Apopytygma Berzerk and even the Commodore 64 demo & break dance scene to more contemporary Electronic music artists, I witnessed the evolution of Electronic music, which basically means I am an old fart and consider myself an authority in this music genre 😵 Currently I listen DnB almost exclusively. But I do not like to restrict myself at all, enjoying flavors like Electronica, Trance, Psytrance, Tech House, Dubstep, Deep House, Future Pop, Trap, Techno, UK Bass and of course EBM/Industrial as well.

What you will find in my likes and playlists is the top of the crop in Electronic Music, I will  absolutely not list any bullshit. A track I have not listed might be just that: Bullshit, just mediocre or an artistic gem which I haven't discovered yet.
