Ending the year in style, Meanwhile celebrates its 39th release with label head-honchos, GMJ & Matter showcasing a 3-track epic in “EXT 135 / Elemental / Time to Space”.

Artists who have risen rapidly to secure permanent seats at underground dance’s top table, GMJ & Matter excel within the DJ and production arenas. Responsible for some of the most intelligent and atmospheric progressive house music the industry has seen and an ironclad provenance behind them, the Melbourne based duo have been leading lights in their hometown and beyond for more than 15 years. Hugely respected artists in their own rights with over 500 individual production credits each, a century has come within their collaborative partnership.

As such, original gems have included several original EPs for Proton Music, with additional work finding its way onto the likes of Anjunadeep, onedotsixtwo and Balance Music. However, it is on Meanwhile where the Australian duo have joined forces with such style and grace. From 2020’s “Lost on Origin”, “Gauntlet” and “Eldarin” to 2021’s “The Path /Perfect Storm”, plus remixes for Alex O’Rion, Rich Curtis and Roger Martinez, GMJ & Matter have been at the vanguard of modern progressive house as they now return for another stellar outing.

“EXT 135” is a fizzing powerhouse of hi-hat percussion and white-noise fills as immaculately filtered melodies emerge from the rhythmic melange alongside a chorus of expertly woven pads. A gentle vocal cut adds a melancholy vibe as the track pauses for breath at the breakdown before blossoming once more into the second half with ease and trademark aplomb.

Continuing the rich rhythmic foundation of its predecessor, “Elemental” develops a stunning rolling cadence and swung percussion that provides the perfect platform for a warm blanket of textured pads and pulsating melodies to emerge. Redolent in delays and effects, a reverse-reverb vocal chant creates tension and variation while a simple motif holds fort in the background, helping rhythm and melody gel across the track’s duration.

The final track sees “Time To Space” propelled forwards with cavernous bass groove, ticking percussion and laser beam effects. Evolving elegantly, a sustained pad creates an Underworld-esque backdrop from which a chunky synth motif filters into sonic range before being juxtaposed by a glassy counterpoint phrase. Building through the breakdown, the tracks hits its stride once more in the latter stages with an expansive soundstage and metronomic groove.

Illustrating unrivalled talent and craftsmanship, GMJ & Matter once again conquer the progressive house landscape with “EXT135 / Elemental / Time To Space”.

EANP - FORGET (DUB MIX) @ HERNAN CATTANEO RESIDENT #617

The wonderful VONDA7 joins the Sudbeat family with a new single and get the remix treatment from Alex O'Rion and Graziano Raffa. Let's know more about what's behind 'Perception'.

VONDA7's story is one of realising your dreams through determination, tenacity and hard work. Growing up on a mish mash of sounds, finding French House and then Techno transformed this Polish artists life forever. 

Attending SAE Amsterdam began her journey towards a living her dream which now sees her transformed into a savvy buisnesswoman who juggles DJing, producing and label owning with consummate ease. Signed already to a wide array of imprints from Sasha's LNOE to Sian's Octopus Recordings, VONDA7's sound defies pigeonholing, making her all the more exciting. 

Opening with low-slung bubbly acid, and twickling arps, 'Perception' in orginal form is aimed squarely at the peak time floor. Crisp percussion keeps time while the sparkling synths start to weave their magic. The main break serves as a quieting before those arps go into overdrive in the secord half. 

First up of remix duties, Alex O'Rion adds his considerable studio skill to the mix with a deep, early morning vibe perfect for an Ibizan sunrise. Straight after, Graziano Raffa takes the original motifs and applies his Italian charm creating a smooth uptempo ride with the repeating arp wrapped around the beat while frequencies of Reese bass roar from the bottom.

Hernan Cattaneo returns to the label showing off the amazing talent of Jody Barr, picked as his studio partner for the first time on the upcoming 'Airglow' EP.

'El Maestro' needs little introduction. An active DJ since 1983, it was his fateful residency for Clubland at Pacha Buenos Aires that saw him take the world by storm after being noticed by Perfecto Records boss, Paul Oakenfold. Life since has become a blur of international gigs, genre-defining mixes and global acclaim, but always at the heart of it is the music he loves and wants to share with the world. This will never change. 

Jody, by comparison, is still very much in the beginnings of his career. But what a start it's been! Signed to LNOE, The Soundgarden, Armada and more, his sound is vibrant, uplifting and groovy winning him plaudits as diverse as Black Coffee, Alan Fitzpatrick and Joris Voorn. 

First up, title track 'Airglow' wastes no time in finding its feet. Subtle acid bubbles alongside the snappy percussive framework of the opening section, and airy sweeps billow into the soundscape ramping up the energy for the main drop, where ornate synths remind us of trancey memories and sweaty hugs in a field during high summer. 

'Clara's Dream' opens with deep tribal vibes. Low slung and mellow, the e-moments are super emotive. Finally, 'First Wave' ups the tempo with more subtle tribal feels. Arps and a wobbly reese bass aim this one squarely at those moments Hernan is famous for when all bets are off and there's no way you're ever leaving this dance floor! Even after 40 years at the top of his game, Hernan continues to find a way to surprise and delight us all.

Ever-evolving, the creative hub that is Melorama ventures deeper into its multiversal storyline with its third installment, Ezequiel Arias’ ‘Melomania / Polvo de Estrellas’. Poised for a standout year, the Argentine artist delivers a blistering two-track EP that has been forged in absolute patience by the sands of time.

Imperious, ‘Melomania’ thrusts us into a perpetual motion cycle with its restless bassline and rock-solid percussive motifs as delightful melodic bursts traverse right through its frame, lighting up like combusting stars as Ezequiel blazes up across some intergalactic highway, somewhere in space. Holding us close in a warm embrace come breakdown, the Argentine creator opens the casements, allowing us to bask in the unique marvels that swirl in a carefree manner around us before a blinding flare propels us deeper into the vast, uncharted corners of the universe. Beyond genres, ‘Melomania’ showcases once again the constant evolution of an artist that continuously moves through emotions with unrivaled flair.

In the same vein, ‘Polvo de Estrellas’ is an electrifying ride that expertly balances unbridled vigor with a profound sense of timing. Here, synthetic swells lend a colorful hue to an infectious bassline that twists and turns with pure finesse as it races through a myriad of neon blips and melodic lasers that decorate the environment around us. Following a showstopping break, ‘Polvo de Estrellas’ resumes with unadulterated, high-octane resolve that is bound to keep clubs swinging with its state-of-the-art effects and shimmering storyline.

A symbol of an artist in his prime, ‘Melomania / Polvo de Estrellas’ is bound to become one of the cornerstones in a discography that is in perpetual expansion as Ezequiel blurs the boundaries in search of something that has never been seen before.
