Following on from the February 2022 remixes, Meanwhile now returns to Alex O'Rion's EP as "Echium Remixed, Pt. 2" continues with another trio of outstanding interpretations.

A legendary figure in the world of art, music and underground dance, Roger Martinez has been a central figure with his kaleidoscopic sound and spiritual influences. Music signed to Lost and Found, Replug and his own Higher States have confirmed this status while July 2020's "Cosmic" was a further notable highlight on Meanwhile. Now returning to GMJ and Matter's imprint, the Roger Martinez remix of "The Chase" is an uptempo offering that draws on his musical influences with a powerful beat and deep bass groove. Using pitched elements from Alex's original, vocal cuts shift in stereo-panned glory and epic white-noise risers and infinite delays create a dense swirling atmosphere. Pausing at the breakdown to introduce additional melodic elements, the track then drops back into its hypnotic groove as new melodic motifs create the aptly titled "Interdimensional Remix".

GMJ and Matter return to their flagship imprint with typical flair and aplomb. Able to point to a rich catalogue of original and remix work in both solo and collaborative guises throughout Meanwhile's two-year reign at the top of the progressive house charts, the Melbourne based duo provide a powerful and dynamic rendition of the title track. GMJ and Matter have thus taken the effects fuelled "Echium" and transformed it into a dark seething progressive house monster that lurks beneath gently pulsing waves. Serene in its build, delayed synth phrases cascade over each other in endless delay while new melodies twinkle across the mid-range in trademark-soaked reverb and elegantly stratified sonic layers. Maintaining the aural themes sculpted by Alex O'Rion in the original, GMJ and Matter have successfully navigated a new and dynamic path through the beautiful "Echium".

Imran Khan has cemented a reputation as one of the progressive house fraternity's leading lights. Almost a double century of production credits has seen remix and original music land on the likes of Mango Alley, Proton Music and Clinique, since a 2016 debut for the latter. Moreover, 2021's "Push Thru / Horizonz" and "Equinox" have delighted the Meanwhile faithful. Returning for a third remix, the Imran Khan reworking of "The Serpent" is a typically deep and atmospheric affair with huge thumping beat and cavernous bass groove dominating the low end. Capturing the flowing melodic phrasing of the original, pitched synths and pulsating white-noise risers create a thick soup of sound that evolves in bubbling sonic patterns with their origins in Alex O'Rion's impressive production technique. The resulting marriage of two musical identities finds Imran Khan once again illustrating his impressive production credentials through trademark sound design.

Another musical triptych pays tribute to the sonic diversity found in Alex O'Rion's music as Roger Martinez, GMJ and Matter and Imran Khan open up in full bloom through the towering "Echium".

The Conclusion is Out Now: lnk.to/conclusion
Tour dates below!

With the 5th phase, ‘The Conclusion’, the circle is completed. The five phases project, including five releases and an audiovisual Live Tour, has reached its conclusion.

The final release of the Five Phases Project by Innellea is out now, including a new fashion line. 

At this step, we see everything very clearly now as all of our phases come to a conclusion, as our whole life runs through our inner eye. The fifth and final phase works as a reverse mirror to the first. We are closing our eyes, seeing the light on earth reflecting for the very last time. We’re breathing the air for the very last time, we feel it touching our skin for the very last time. We‘re getting held in arms and discover the feeling of concealment for the very last time. It describes the dereliction of a human being from life. Although the body will leave the planet, the spirit won’t. 

Five phases is an audiovisual reflection of life, from Birth to Death. Five tracks and an extended live-set concept taking us through the five phases of life: The Awakening – Rebellious Learning – Forced Adaptation – Reflected Wisdom – The Conclusion.

Juicebox Music's 68th release welcomes Anton Borin and Montw to the fold for their debut appearance with a 2-track EP featuring "Obsidian" and "Firebird". Kick-starting their collaboration fairly recently, the Moscow (Russia) based duo found a sweet spot to combine their styles. With individual releases on Mango's 'Mango Alley' and Bondarev's 'WARPP' to name a few, Anton Borin and Montw's hypnotic, melodic and groovy music has become a staple amongst many tastemakers and fans alike. Their latest offering is a pair of juxtaposed singles to showcase their creative sides; "Obsidian" features a strong drive leading up to a soulful melody only to be peaked by a contrasting twist in it's final phase while "Firebird" sees them focusing primarily on the development of a strong groove accompanied by a earworm riff, perfect for darker rooms. 

For the first remix, we're excited to welcome back Fabri Lopez to the label. The Villa Mercedes native from Argentina first made his debut on Juicebox Music through his powerful and euphoric remix of Bachir Salloum's "Of Time and Space" in early 2021. Since then, he's made strides with releases on Armen Miran's 'Hoomidaas' and Nick Warren's 'The Soundgarden' and now for his return, Fabri Lopez reworks Anton Borin and Montw's "Obsidian" into a monster with a more darker and heavier approach. 

Closing the pack is one of the label's core-artists, Bangalore (India) based Aman Anand. His journey with the imprint stretches far with so many significant releases with the latest being his collaboration with label-owner Praveen Achary on "Fiasco". Exploring through experimentation, Aman pursues an evolution in his sound with refinement and out-of-the-box sound-design as his key priorities. He takes on Anton Borin and Montw's "Firebird" with the same goal, injecting his signature groove and cleverly warping and contorting the original hook to deliver a memorable moment.

Mike Isai joins the Sudbeat family with an exciting double header. ​
​
The Brooklyn based artist has been making waves since his debut release on the seminal 
Hope Recordings back in 2020. He’s gone on the sign with a host of influential imprints, 
not least onedotsixtwo, Mango Alley and Pure Progressive. Drawing inspiration from the 
sounds of New York City legendary club scene, Mike's music is a unique blend of deep 
beats and soaring melodies. ​
​
Opening with ‘Exit’, tribal rhythms reminiscent of Satoshi Tomiie’s excellent Saw 
Recordings jump from the speaker with fresh appeal. Deep growling bass and spacious 
percussions draw you in to the rhythmic circus and enchant you with consummate ease. A 
solid mid set groover that’ll get the floor bouncing. ​
​
Next up, ‘Tunnel’ with its saw-toothed low end rattles the speakers from the off. Floaty 
pads keep the energy high in the breaks providing a moment of calm against the 
cavernous beats. ​
A tougher groove for the late floors, this one has some serious weight.

JUAN IBANEZ, B.I.G (AR), GIANNI LUCIANO It's Time To Drop

"Lunar" by Black 8 is an progressive music track that distinctively incorporates melodic elements to enhance its intensity. 
The track begins with a commanding groovy beat and pulsating bass, immediately establishing its high energy nature. 
As it progresses, a melodic synth line emerges, adding an unexpected layer of emotional depth and complexity.

The melody in "Lunar" is haunting and ethereal, creating a stark contrast with the aggressive rhythm section. 
This blend allows the track to stand out, appealing to listeners who appreciate both the raw energy of progressive music and the emotional resonance of a well-crafted melody. The interplay between the melody and the heavy beats is seamless, with dynamic shifts that maintain the listener's interest from start to finish.

Midway through, "Lunar" features a breakdown where the melody takes center stage, providing a brief, immersive respite before the track ramps up again. This section highlights Black 8's skill in creating tension and release, transforming the track into more than just an auditory assault but a journey through varied emotional states.

Overall, "Lunar" by Black 8 is a masterclass in blending aggression with melody. It's perfect for listeners who seek the adrenaline rush of high energy music but also crave a melodic hook that resonates. Ideal for any live sets needing a powerful and progressive sound, "Lunar" delivers a multi faceted musical experience.
