A long-time friend of Meanwhile and regular contributor to GMJ & Matter’s label, Simos Tagias returns once more with the twin-track “Archaios / Geometric”.

With over 400 production credits to his name for some of the finest modern imprints, Simos Tagias has regularly found an outlet for his distinctive brand of progressive house through the likes of Sudbeat Music, Mango Alley and Proton Music. Making a sizeable impression with his debut outing on Meanwhile, the sonic diptych that constituted “Euphoria / Emotion” in March 2021 showcased an immaculate sonic collage that shimmered and glistened with melodic beauty. Remixes from Paul Deep and GMJ & Matter followed in April 2022, while Simos also found himself back on the Meanwhile catalogue with remixes of Imran Khan and Alex O’Rion in late 2021 and early 2022.

Opening his latest original EP, “Archaios” is driven by a powerful rhythmic bedrock that generates club-friendly groove and bassline prowess before shape-shifting pads drift across the mid-range. Subtle motifs gradually enter the fray, exposed fully in the intoxicating breakdown where white-noise risers and open filters provide an epic crescendo. Hitting its straps in the second half, fully evolved melodic sequences jockey for prominence alongside textured chord sequences and driving percussive force. The result is the perfect illustration of modern and emotive progressive house.

A whip-cracking kick and chunky top-line groove anchor “Geometric”, while a pitched synth effect immediately piques interest. Dropping easily into its second movement, bassline and rhythm supply the perfect backdrop for a plucked motif to hypnotise with its delicately evolving character, while a heavily side-chained pad pulsates in cadenced waves and adding to expansive sonic landscape. Pausing for breath at a beatless breakdown, the track effortlessly drops back into its mesmerising combination of revolving motif and heavy rhythm as effects and pads generate an almost transcendental state of bliss as “Geometric” plays out.

With consummate ease, Simos Tagias sculpts a new sonic masterpiece in “Archaios / Geometric”.

Back for a third sonic voyage into the world of deep and sensual progressive house, GMJ & Matter welcome 10 artists, both seasoned regulars and label newcomers, as they showcase “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 3”.

Opening the 2023 edition, Sri Lankan and US duo, Dimuth K & Forerunners create a smooth rolling groove from where “Exit Reality” flows in melodic rivulets, eerie synth lines and ambient effects. Hitting its stride post-breakdown, hypnotic patterns provide dancefloor vibrancy. Continuing the coruscating rhythmic vibe, EMPHI and Zankee Gulati deliver trademark poise – the Swedish star generating an immaculately cadenced synth line and textured pads on the club-friendly “Azur”, and the Australian producer bearing fruit with shimmering and free-flowing lead lines and bouncing bass groove on “HereAfter”.

The next quartet ably demonstrate a collection of artists at the peak of their powers, Armenia’s Ruben Karapetyan builds bass dominance and seething sultry dancefloor prowess in the early movements of “Erechtheum” before a mirrored synth line blossoms post-breakdown. Seasoned Greek producer, Simos Tagias, needs little introduction to the Meanwhile faithful and “Reality” is replete with 24-carat production pedigree as silky smooth and Vangelis-esque passages swim across a chunky backdrop. From the Balearic Islands to Belarus, late-night gems sparkle in the moonlight where Not Demure generates spine-tingling emotion with “Vis Pace” through his gradually evolving melodies that reach a stunning zenith at the breakdown. Rising and falling within a sturdy beat, sub bass and light percussive surround, the result is a progressive masterclass. The crunchy bass sequence and emotive chord sequences of “Upside Limit” are a deft reminder of Michael A’s production talent. Developing with ease, and stamped with a watermark of sonic identity, the Michael A sound is easily identifiable.

Making their Horizons debut Ezequiel Anile and Nicolas Petracca have been creating waves in the progressive house fraternity for more than 5 years as EANP. “Forget” is no exception with its delicately arpeggiated pattern and flowing stripped-back mid-section that is then juxtaposed alongside hefty beat in the latter stages. The uplifting chord progressions and ethereal atmosphere of “Just a Toy” finds Anton Brazhenov creating a dense and swirling aural collage with his Meeting Molly moniker, holding firm against a mesmerising grooved backdrop. The free-flowing sequences and organic-sounding synth work of Tommi Oskari rounds Vol. 3 off with the aptly titled “Morning on Mercury”. Delicately pitched, twinkling keys and superbly programmed bassline create an innovative sound which picks up the pace in the final stages after a captivating trip across outer the solar system.

10 new tracks of shimmering and ethereal beauty highlight a progressive voyage of discovery within “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 3”.

The Argentinian artists EICHENBAUM @eichenbaumofficial & ANDRÉS MORIS @andrees-moris , join forces and skills for the first time to make this three-original-EP.

The EP is completed with a remix by the talented and versatile Argentinian artist RIC NIELS @ricnielsmusic , who this time shows a different face of his music, with more groove, deeper, more fun and minimalist, but also with some melodic elements with taste of Progressive House.

Premiere: Jiminy Hop - Nawaro [Shambhala Music]

Today the sea is so majestic and serene expanding beyond my sight and perception to immeasurable depths.
When the sun's rays touch the salty waves and warm them, lie on the surface and hear the melodies of the underwater world, the music of the sea element and become a part of it!

We present a special EP from one of our bestsellers - ALEJ CH “Floating”:
three unearthly tracks, in the depthless beauty of which, you can drown to the songs of mermaids in the vocal Floating, breaking through the waves with Verdant or dance on the beach to the rhythms of Emile.

Sonam & Goye - Meyah (Long Play)

Destello es un viaje de Deep House nacido de la conexión con la tierra.
Un sonido que respira naturaleza, que mezcla la calma profunda con ese brillo sutil que deja África en cada uno de sus colores, ritmos y silencios.
El track vibra como un destello natural, una chispa que atraviesa la oscuridad y se queda en el pecho: cálida, orgánica, eterna.
Es música que recuerda que la naturaleza no solo se mira… se siente, y su luz siempre deja huella en quienes la escuchan.
