Madloch's Sound Avenue continues a strong start to the year by welcoming Will Konitzer and MeowWow to the label for their debut single. Hailing from the USA, Will Konitzer first emerged over a decade ago on the strength of tracks for Bush Records, Krafted Music and Triple Fire Music. Noted for his timeless progressive style, the Austin resident became a name to watch and would go on to several successes across the next decade, adding Light Side Music, Whose Haus and Musicon in his resume, the latter of which would serve as his primary home. Meanwhile, also calling Austin, Texas home is MeowWow who entered into the world of electronic music as a DJ first, quickly becoming a fixture of the city's vibrant nightlife and performing alongside top international talents such as Nora En Pure. MeowWow's production debut would come just over a year ago via Krafted Underground, a release which would lead to future projects on Elevation London, Perfecto Records and more. Having remixed MeowWow's 'Mystic Garden' to begin 2023, Will Konitzer now joins forces with his fellow countrywoman for their first ever collaboration and Sound Avenue debut entitled 'Moon Dance', alongside a remix from label returnee Forty Cats.

Moon Dance

Will Konitzer, MeowWow - Moon Dance [Sound Avenue]

Starting 2024 with fresh new music, Meanwhile begins the year with two seasoned producers of the progressive house scene as Navar and Golan Zocher collaborate to produce, “Zoom Out”. A single remix comes courtesy of a legendary Australian artist.

A hugely respected artist within the underground dance fraternity, Navar has been at the vanguard of electronic music for over a decade. From early work for Klopfgeist, the Dutch star has been a regular on fellow countryman, Eelke Kleijn’s Outside The Box as well as Guy J’s Lost & Found and Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music. Making his Meanwhile debut remixing Alex O’Rion in early 2022, the 3-track “Return of the Sun” at the end of the year shone an iridescent glow over Navar’s production credentials. Similarly, Golan Zocher is another artist with an impressive production portfolio to his name. Work for Clubsonica Records, Mango Alley and Darin Epsilon’s Perspectives Digital have lit up the Progressive House scene since a debut for Crossfade Sounds in mid-2016. Making his Meanwhile debut on July 2022’s “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2”, in partnership with GMJ on “Negev”, Golan Zocher now returns with another striking collaboration. “Zoom Out” is a beautifully mined progressive house gem that bristles with pounding kick and driving bassline zeal. A mesmeric groove rolls relentlessly forward as subtle percussive touches allow the track to build with ease. Evolving over its near 8-minute timeframe a series of interconnected melodies weave a magical tapestry where pads and subtle motifs cascade over each other in seamless fashion. A breakdown pause then allows for the development of melodic sequences to take centre stage in the second half to create a stunning and multi-layered track.

Jamie Stevens reputation within the electronic music industry is second to none. An artist with a career stretching back over two decades, his solo work has graced the finest labels including Bedrock, Balance Music and Selador. June 2022’s 3-track “Circles” EP marked a Meanwhile high point, followed by October 2023’s twin-track “Mad Bells / Kanlan”. Remixed by Navar in April 2023, Jamie now returns the favour with a typically inventive and dynamic interpretation that takes “Zoom Out” to soaring new heights. Via intelligent manipulation of track components, the Australian has created a pounding dancefloor epic that hypnotises through its sustained and rolling bassline. A subtle grooved rhythm plays atop with intricate placement of percussive sounds while familiar melodic elements flow freely around the rhythm and bass anchor. Adding a Vangelis-esque synth phrase at the stripped back mid-point offers a beguiling and fluid aura to proceedings as the remix picks up the dancefloor pace once more in another hugely impressive Jamie Stevens production.

Traversing a wide and varied soundscape, Navar & Golan Zocher have created a brilliant snapshot with “Zoom Out”, superbly aided by the peerless Jamie Stevens.

A returning artist to the Particles fold, Dave Leck opens 2024 with a brand-new track as "Opal" shines alongside remixes from Erdi Irmak and Izzet. Debuting on the label in August 2019, "Stardust" was the first of three original EPs that saw Dave Leck hit the ground running. "Primal Connection" followed in early 2020 before "Elevate" completed a trio of outstanding original releases in March 2022. Another two-year gap now sees "Opal" create a mesmerising percussive groove while trademark melodic phrasing sits elegantly above. Immaculately cadenced, open filters provide dancefloor vibrancy that waxes and wanes with subtle intensity. Pausing for breath at the mid-point, the track picks up the pace with a hypnotic arpeggio lighting up the second half atop elements built in earlier movements.

Erdi Irmak is no stranger to Proton catalogues with a raft of original and remix production work on both labels. Over 75 production credits include 7 volumes of the "Hidden Arcadia" series on Proton Music and a raft of original work en route. The full-length album, "You're Either Guilty or Not Guilty" was a Particles highlight in 2014 followed by 2017's "Zero" and remixes for Aeron Aether, Mio & His Flute and Stories Of Others. Now returning to the label for the first time in nearly three years, Erdi Irmak takes "Opal" in a typically majestic direction. Anchored by a heavy beat and vibrant bassline, the cadenced feel of the original is reinterpreted to create a deliciously smooth new groove that intelligently reworks elements from Dave Leck's track. Full of dancefloor energy, spellbinding melodic phrases coruscate over each other in shimmering, interlaced patterns to create an impressive tour de force from the Istanbul-based star.

The final track sees the return of Particles favourite, Izzet. Centred around 2019's "Summer Goodbye", 2021's "Abstract Distortion" and March 2022's "Puncher" EPs, remixes for the likes of Rafa'EL, Pole Folder and Petar Dundov have shown the multiple facets of the Russian's artistry as he now adds to his catalogue with a driving reworking of "Opal". Founded upon a cone-melting sub-bassline, a heavy kick and ticking hi-hats create a heavy-duty groove. Simultaneously, elements from Dave Leck's original are re-envisioned to provide an innovative melodic arrangement. The familiar arpeggio, central to the original makes its presence felt as the track develops, with a delicate tension played out as the melodic and bass phrases pull subtly against each other.

Refracted in multi-coloured arrays with remixes from Erdi Irmak and Izzet, Dave Leck has unearthed another jewel with his "Opal".

Petar Dundov drops a killer two track EP and sum up another great EP to the Sudbeat legacy.

Croatian superstar Dundov has been a staple of underground dance music for a long time. Already successful locally, it was the turn of the century that saw him become internationally famous with a string of releases for Belgian label Music Man, and Sven Vath's Cocoon imprint. All his work is defined by his unique take  that makes him hard to pigeonhole, but amazing to hear. 

Opening with the rhythmic ‘Lunar Eclipse’ deep pads and playful keys create a warm atmosphere in which your mind can run wild. Equally pleasurable on the dance floor as home listening, the analogue vibes are comforting and familiar. ‘Realm of St Stephen’ tells a similar tale with a more dancefloor orientated focus. Bubbling bass and icy pads get things off to a good start before keys and stutter vocals give direction and substance. Resolutely understated and unashamedly cool, the break serves to reset for an equally joyful second section.

n artist with a diverse and storied relationship with the dance music scene, GMJ & Matter are proud to see Kasper Koman make his label debut with the twin-track “Sinking Sky / Biome”.

A veteran of more than a century of production credits dating back to a 2008 debut, Kasper Koman has seen his work signed to myriad high-profile labels including the likes of Plattenbank, Anjunadeep and Guy J’s Lost & Found. From central Netherlands, Kasper has combined trademark emotion with a powerful and evocative sound that has seen his music supported by such leading tastemakers as Guy Mantzur, Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo and Guy J himself.

Now debuting on Meanwhile, the “Sinking Sky” opener is characterised by a driving beat and metronomic hi-hat pattern. A running 16th note bassline pattern enters the fray in the second movement with a fizzing vibrancy provided by resonating and filtered effects. A cast of additional characters add to the overall sonic landscape including a beautifully juxtaposed pad progression. A spine-tingling breakdown provides acetylene-edged emotion via the extended bassline motif, before hitting its stride once more in the latter stages to wondrous effect and no small amount of production talent.

“Biome” continues the narrative of raw effects-laden power, while a strong kick lays the foundation for a piercing percussive groove, adding swing to the off-beat. A well-crafted sonic palette supplies a soft chord progression of Kraftwerk-inspired imagination as a meandering array of well-placed effects, white-noise washes and rasping bass notes create a mosaic of sounds. The result is a hypnotic, angular offering that keeps listener interest piqued without a central melody seeing the 6-minute piece fly past in an instant.

A welcome return to the world of progressive house sees Kasper Koman enchant and enthral with “Sinking Sky / Biome”.
