Christian Monique Back To The Origins (Original Mix)

Italian maestro Gai Barone makes his debut with 'Red Wine' 

Red Wine brings great energy and a progressive underpinning to proceedings. If anything represents Gai Barone's 'euphoric melancholy' self-styling, 'Red Wine' certainly hits that spot. Wonderful warm sustained and overdriven melodies with nuances of saturation become Gai's sound palette as he paints an aural image or rare vivacity and reflection. Ticking hi-hats and off-beat percussion keep the energy high as the sounds cascade effortlessly from their rhythmic anchor. This is clearly music borne of passion and outstanding technique.

Enjoy,
Soho Opus 2022

► Release Info:

A new collaborative pairing to grace the Meanwhile catalogue, Kasey Taylor and Gai Barone embrace the musical talents of Wilma on their twin-track “Passing Over the Clouds / Soul Mystique” EP.

Hugely respected figures in their own rights, Kasey Taylor and Gai Barone account for almost 1000 production credits between them. Featuring on the likes of Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music, John Digweed’s Bedrock and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden, Kasey is a genuine legend, not least through his own hugely influential Vapour Recordings. Similarly impressive, Gai is able to add releases on Tiesto’s Black Hole, Markus Schulz’s Coldharbour and John 00 Fleming’s JOOF, to the mix with almost a century on Elef Tsiroudis’ Afterglow Records.

After Gai Barone remixes of Kasey Taylor’s “Simplicity” and “Mysterious Madness” in 2021 and 2024, the Australian/Italian axis saw a first collaborative EP appear courtesy of “Distance Between Us / From Afar” on Afterglow late last year. Now combining with classically trained cellist, Wilma, the Australian musician has found herself much in demand with “25 years devotion to her art” and releases on the likes of Stone Seed, Beat & Path and The Soundgarden. With an all-encompassing sound that bridges underground house, melodic techno and electronica, Wilma has lit up dance music in the 2020s.

Opening with a fizzing percussive top line, “Passing Over the Clouds” is an immaculately conceived offering that quickly sees an array of twinkling arps, pads and synths sitting atop a sub-bassline and rasping analogue variation. Evolving with a kaleidoscopic pattern of effects, the various melodic elements come to the fore in a breakdown that blossoms with the introduction of Wilma’s exquisite and free-flowing cello. Intertwined seamlessly with synth phrasing in the latter stages, the final movement drops back into familiar rhythmic patterns.

Partner track, “Soul Mystique” continues the majestic melodic narrative with flowing synth patterns, harder-edged arp patterns and twinkling piano combining to magical effect. Pausing briefly in the early stages, Wilma’s coruscating cello weaves an emotive sonic tapestry that fits perfectly within the surrounding musical palette. A multi-oscillator bassline adds range and rhythmic cadence in synchronicity with a thumping beat and ticking shakers to provide a sublime dancefloor structure to mystical melodies that envelope the listener.

Floating skywards with serene beauty, Kasey Taylor, Gai Barone and Wilma have reached new heights with “Passing Over the Clouds / Soul Mystique”.

03. Mike Rish - Shokl

Release Info: 
An artist with a rich and impressive pedigree, Mike Rish returns to Meanwhile with a triple-tracker of exceptional quality in "Sunset on Mars / Tornn / Shokl".

A Melbourne native with a strong back catalogue stretching back over 15 years, Mike Rish's debut quickly became a starting point for a successful career, predominantly focused on the sound of Progressive House. Since 2009, the Australian has gone on to see his music featured on the likes of Vapour Recordings, Anjunadeep and Guy J's Lost & Found, while a trio of EPs for Meanwhile between 2021 and 2024 have seen Mike Rish sparkle with a collection of beautifully crafted original sonic sculptures. Now returning for the first time since August 2024's "Akhnaton / Gröv / Cloudbreaker" triumph, 3 new original tracks take centre stage.

The compelling "Sunset on Mars" opens with a thumping beat and smooth percussive top-line before a swathe of effects-laden synths percolate the soundwaves with rich delays and reverb. A powerful bassline adds dancefloor urgency while an evocative arp filters its way to the foreground through the second movement. Rising and falling with club-friendly knowhow, the track gradually picks up pace before entering the second half full of punchy bravado. Immaculately constructed, "Sunset on Mars" is an aural triumph.

Continuing the powerful rhythmic character of its predecessor, "Tornn" is a thumping, chugging bassline monster that rolls seductively across its 7-minute timeframe. Endless delays and effects swim across the stereo spectrum in swirling atmospheres as vocal snippets talk of remembered dreams and an eerily pitched menace. Evolving easily through its phases, the second half comes to life as bassline and rhythmic prowess take control across the shape-shifting soundscapes.

Opening with a strong tribal rhythm and subtle jungle-themed effects and bird calls, another chorus of reverb-drenched effects and delays across a smorgasbord of vocal cuts, provide a beautiful dub-inspired atmosphere. Coming to the fore at the stripped-back breakdown with expansive ease, Mike Rish gently picks up the pace through the second half to create and intriguing and dynamic listening environment through his sublime layering of vocal elements.

Returning to the label that is fast becoming a second home, Mike Rish delights Meanwhile listeners with "Sunset on Mars / Tornn / Shokl".
