Opening 2024 with a bang from one of the finest modern progressive house artists, Sebastian Sellares returns to Meanwhile Horizons with his “Uncertainty / Dark Omen” EP.

A producer with a century of production credits for a selection of premium underground dance labels, Sebastian Sellares has been a regular contributor to the likes of Anjunadeep, Proton Music and Dmitry Molosh’s Proportion. Appearances on GMJ & Matter’s Meanwhile have been centred around April 2021’s 3-track “Dunes at Dawn” with high-profile remixes of GMJ, Alex O’Rion and Ivan Aliga adding to an impressive portfolio.

Making his Meanwhile Horizons debut a year after first appearing on the flagship label, the Argentinean star now returns with a brand-new twin-track offering. “Uncertainty” is a brooding, gem that bristles with an industrial-sounding percussive groove. Developing with mute melodic phrasing, a powerfully sustained bassline note drives the track forward with immaculately placed pads and counterpoint motifs adding to the evolving sonic soundscape. With a beautifully conceived palette to provide a sense of unease and incongruity, the opening track is a powerful statement.

Continuing the industrial-sounding narrative of its counterpart, “Dark Omen” builds effortlessly with a strong sense of purpose and identity. Redolent in delays and reverbs, the atmosphere created ensures an uneasy intensity to the track as ticking shakers add a traditional club-friendly urgency. Repetitive motifs progress easily in parallel with a chorus of textures, effects and building pads. A strong bassline motif makes its play at the breakdown before things build once more into the second half; a sharp-edged stereo-panned effect creates a piercing sonic layer with the track showcasing another side to the Argentinean’s production persona.

Through a finely conceived and multi-faceted aural collage, Sebastian Sellares has discovered another winning formula with “Uncertainty / Dark Omen”.
