With his star brightly on the rise, Konstantin Kuranakov has carved out a sizeable niche via his Jiminy Hop production pseudonym. Now debuting on Meanwhile, he confirms again as one of the artists to watch in 2022 with the mesmerising “Johlin” EP.

Inspired by a love of underground house with a dash of techno thrown in for good measure, Jiminy Hop is no stranger to playlists of DJ elite. Initially inspired by David August’s Boiler Room mix, the Russian producer now counts heavyweights, Sahar Z, Hernan Cattaneo and Alex O’Rion as supporters of his work.

With almost 300 production credits to his name, Jiminy Hop has released his music on an array of esteemed independent imprints as the likes of Juicebox Music, Kiksuya Records, Art Vibes and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden have all played host to a collection of original and remix production material. Now making himself an instant favourite on GMJ & Matter’s ever-reliable imprint, “Johlin” is a beautifully constructed offering that oozes quality with its cavernous sub-bass groove and shuffling hi-hat percussive line. Progressing with delicately twinkling synth lines, velvety pads swell and ethereal vocals melt into the mid-range. Hitting the heights with a rousing breakdown crescendo, “Johlin” drops into a powerful bassline stormer in the second half to devastating effect as sympathetic piano motifs hit the spot.

Immediately establishing itself with powerful bassline sequence and textured pads, “Solunar” continues the progressive house journey. Through use of counterpoint melodies and shimmering synth motif, the track gently develops over its 8-minute timeframe as white-noise effects and risers build tension at the mid-point. Reverting to the strong bassline theme and metronomic rhythmic pattern in the second half, combined with a cascading synth line, the result is an impressive addition to the EP.

The final track sees “Colatrix” impress with its deep kick and off-beat house rhythm. Gently pulsating through a swathe of side-chained pads, a trademark bassline sequence emerges through the textured melange while arpeggiated synth lines filter into sonic range. Another beautifully sculpted breakdown sequence showcases Jiminy Hop’s skills in abundance as coruscating sounds blend effortlessly against a dynamic percussive backdrop.

A very welcome addition to the Meanwhile family, Jiminy Hop hits the ground running with “Johlin”.

PREMIERE: Jelly For The Babies & Plecta Feat. Eleonora - Flying (Baya Remix) [THE PURR]

Utilizing the speech from J. Robert Oppenheimer in the moments after witnessing one of the first successful nuclear tests, "Vishnu" captures the tension building before detonation. This dark, groovy progressive house track marks the second official collaboration between Frank Bono and K A R I M, two rising stars from the Chicago house scene. With a punchy low end and an arp that keeps the high end ethereal, "Vishnu" centers the listener on the ticking clock countdown before the drop. The addition of Evgenii Rymd's remix infuses the track with his signature deep style, adding a unique dimension

Vishnu

K A R I M, Frank Bono - Vishnu (Evgenii Rymd Remix) [Early Origin]

A long-standing production duo, Dan Stark and Sertac Sahin have been producing music under their Stark & Sahin moniker for almost a decade. Talented artists in their own rights, the duo have been responsible for a string of releases for the likes of Go Deeva, Where The Heart Is, Low Pressings and Witty Tunes. A single remix for Particles saw the duo rework Oliver Lieb's "Caldera" in 2016 as they now return with their debut original EP for the label in "1984". The aptly named title track has a sense of foreboding as a gently pulsing bassline pattern, heavy beat and crisp snare form the basis for an electronic drum kit rhythm, de rigeur for the era. A retro synth sound and dark melody shine outwards from the rhythmic foundation as it then drops into a broken beat variation at the breakdown. Picking up the pace once more in the third movement, familiar melodies are heard as the classic synthwave vibe extends further. 

Partner track, "Fearless" continues the strong retro vibe as a strong beat and ticking 16th hi-hat pattern form the foundation for a grooved bassline sequence to shine. Before long a swathe of classic sounds emanate from the rhythmic collage, revealed fully at the beatless breakdown as a monophonic lead and cadenced pluck add vibrant dancefloor character to proceedings in the second half.

An artist at the forefront of Progressive House for over 15 years, Juan Deminicis is a name synonymous with the genre. Over 400 production credits are testament to that production success with a half-century of those on Proton labels – the likes of the "Life on the Moon", "Synchronicity" and "Cycles" original EPs on Proton Music and a host of remix editions shining an alternative light on Particles. Remixes of Mariner + Domingo and Blanka Barbara in early 2021 showcased the Argentinean's production talent further while a third now sees Juan Deminicis create a thoroughly modern progressive gem out of "Fearless". Using the melodic foundations of the original as a jumping-off point, Juan's skill is to cast those characters in a new light that retains the kernel of their retro sound while transforming them into a seething dancefloor jewel. A growling bassline backdrop adds dark intensity while original melodies combine with new and vibrant phrases in a trademark production style that illustrates perfectly why the Buenos Aires resident's sound is still such a sought-after commodity. A driving beat and syncopated hi-hat pattern add to the dancefloor groove in a work of rare skill and poise.

A dystopian vision of the future is the antithesis of Stark & Sahin's bright and vibrant "1984", aided superbly by a remix from Juan Deminicis.

Release Description:

Brazilian duo RIKO & GUGGA make a powerful debut on Perspectives Digital with a two track EP that showcases their signature fusion of melodic depth and finely tuned dancefloor precision.  Known for blending 80's-inspired synth textures with the pulse of contemporary Melodic Techno, the São Paulo-based pair have cultivated a distinctive sound that's earned widespread support from industry heavyweights like Vintage Culture, Solomun, Adriatique, Nora En Pure, Cassian, Kevin de Vries, and Miss Monique, among many others.

"Valkyrie" opens the release with cinematic flair.  An ethereal lead glides over a propulsive groove, gradually building into a soaring climax shaped by intricate layers and rhythmic tension.  Equal parts emotional and explosive, it's tailor-made for big rooms and peak moments on the floor.

On the flip, "Prophet" explores darker territory, driven by pulsing basslines, hypnotic arpeggios, and a deeper melodic sensibility.  The arrangement unfolds with intention, weaving elements in and out of focus before locking into a nocturnal groove that resonates both physically and emotionally.

With previous releases on respected imprints like Purified, Siona Records, Running Clouds, and UV, RIKO & GUGGA have emerged as one of the most compelling production duos from Brazil's underground.  Their debut on Darin Epsilon's label pushes their artistry to new heights, delivering two standout tracks with unmistakable precision, atmosphere, and flair.
