Upbeat chill progressive

Cary Crank has been on fire in recent years, with a constant stream of high quality output on renowned labels such as Parquet, Freegrant, Beatfreak, Perspectives and countless others. This time we see him making his first appearance on Manual Music's MNL subsidiary with his latest single 'Move Quickly'.

On remix duties it's Leandro Murua who delivered one of the biggest progressive house tracks of 2023 with 'Lunar Object' and is definitely one of the names to watch currently.

'Rising out of Argentina's electronic underground and making his much anticipated Replug debut is Ivan Aliaga. Hailing from the talent-rich region of Cordoba, Ivan’s musical palate takes reference from the progressive genre’s vast spectrum; in turn creating an authentic voice that is discernibly his own. Noted for his attention to detail, tough kick drums and electric design quality, Ivan's craft shines through vividly, making each one of his creations an exhilarating experience. On the strength of releases via Mango Alley, Meanwhile, Or Two Strangers and The Soundgarden, Ivan has earned the praise of genre trendsetters Cid Inc, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed and more. Now, following his latest Mango Alley vehicle ‘Blue Shade’, Ivan makes his Replug debut with a two-track showcase entitled ‘Lonely World’.

The EP’s title selection ‘Lonely World’ sets the tone with a remarkable display of rhythm and musicality. Tight, compact and bursting with ultrasonic energies, it’s a creation built around meditative melodies and temperate harmonies. There’s a strong sense of cruising across the first movement, one that allows the listener to relish in Ivan’s rippling grooves and orbiting effects, in turn perfectly setting up a series of poignant chord changes and processed piano’s which carry energy into the main break. Ivan’s craftsmanship shines across the interlude, with effervescent phrasing and fuzzed out synth swagger cleverly coaxing, eventually revealing a pixie-like lead melody which pushes onwards to a finale that is equal parts cosmic and emotive.

The companion piece ‘Speed’ follows and is an apt barometer of where Ivan’s headspace is at, as he lets tight kick drums lay the foundation for gritty percussion and devilish effects to create a darker monochrome. Energies shift and emotion rises as hopeful pads emerge, bringing depth and space to the pyrotechnic framework, before getting washed away in a wave of deconstructed sonics for a heady finale. It’s a thrilling conclusion to a fresh two-track showcase, one where Ivan Aliaga makes an impressive Replug debut, and carefully balances rhythm and groove with technique and melody.'

PREMIERE : IDOS - Everybody Dancing [BAU_HAUS]

Buy : https://www.beatport.com/ja/release/celico-ep/4275491
Release Date : 2023-10-13

BAU_HAUS, the experimental, creative sibling to Renaissance, continues in its quest to pick the freshest musical fruits. This month the label returns to Israel, who are incubating another exciting talent - IDOS.

With just 4 releases to his name, BAU_HAUS are firmly ahead of the curve with IDOS; the Renaissance HQ immediately impressed by the mature, yet infectious style of the EP. From title track ‘Celico’, to the acid-funk of ‘Everybody Dancing’ or retro, 90’s vibe’d ‘Keep Moovin’’, all point to an artist who’s firmly come of age in a very short space of time. Check it!

PREMIERE : IDOS - Everybody Dancing [BAU_HAUS]

Since April 2020, Meanwhile has consistently shone a spotlight on the Progressive House scene with an ever-ambitious series of releases. Focusing on a dazzling array of impressive and innovative global artists, GMJ & Matter’s high-flying imprint witnesses another significant milestone. Celebrating its 50th release after a debut in the pandemic hit world of April 2020, Meanwhile returns to its Australian roots and an iconic figure in the progressive house scene as Jamie Stevens showcases “Mad Bells / Kanlan”. 

A legendary figure with more than two decades experience in the underground dance scene, Jamie Stevens requires no introduction to the Meanwhile cognoscenti. A winner of two ARIA awards with his band, Infusion, the Australian star has seen a career continue to flourish in an ever-shifting industry with his constantly evolving sound. Overseeing almost 450 production credits, Stevens’ continuing presence at the pinnacle of electronic music has found his work signed to a plethora of high-profile imprints that include Bedrock, Selador, Lost & Found and Balance Music amongst them. 

Finding a home on Meanwhile courtesy of June 2022’s 3-track “Circles” and remixes for Roger Martinez and GMJ himself, Jamie Stevens returns with a spell-binding twin-track offering. 

“Mad Bells” is a typically smooth and impressive offering with its pounding beat and off-beat hi-hat pattern. Subtle percussive elements gradually make their entrance to create a rolling groove, before a swathe of melodic elements bring the track to life. Gloriously effected vocal cuts span the stereo spectrum with ease before a huge 16th note bassline enters the fray in dominant, club-friendly fashion. Building with mesmerising intensity, glassy keys and chord progressions add to the aural landscape to create another transcendent piece from the Jamie Stevens studio. 

Partner track, “Kanlan”, continues the sumptuous palette of sounds as a pulsating bassline sits alongside heavy kick and ticking percussive top-line. An immaculate array of melodic characters is introduced at regular intervals as they wax and wane against the hypnotic bass and rhythmic characters. A stripped-back breakdown adds to the majesty as a new sustained bassline makes its play with a shimmering cast of synths and effects in attendance, before the pace is picked up once more with familiar phrases and a stunning cadenced pan-pipe effect in the third movement. 

Creating a superb musical diptych redolent in a rich and charismatic sonic narrative, Jamie Stevens excels with “Mad Bells / Kanlan”.

Rhythmic Reverie: Exploring Pandhora's Captivating ‘Choices’

In a world where life often confronts us with challenging decisions, French duo Pandhora has ventured deep into the human psyche to craft their latest release, ‘Choices’. This three-track EP encapsulates the emotional turmoil of facing life-altering choices when neither option appears perfect, and yet, one must push forward through the pain.

The original track, ‘Choices’, is a Melodic Techno gem that effortlessly combines progressive beats with powerful, emotionally charged vocoded vocals. From the very first beat, listeners are drawn into a sonic journey that takes them on a rollercoaster ride of self-reflection and introspection. The duo skillfully blends intricate melodies with a driving rhythm that keeps the listener hooked from start to finish. The emotional depth conveyed through the vocals adds an intriguing layer of introspection to the track, making it a standout piece in the Melodic Techno genre.

Rafael Cerato's remix of ‘Choices’ takes the original in an entirely new direction. His Indie Dance rendition infuses the song with a groovy and dynamic energy that makes it nothing short of a dancefloor banger. Cerato's remix injects a fresh vitality into the track, making it impossible to resist the urge to move. As the remix unfolds, listeners are greeted with infectious beats and a pulsating rhythm that adds a whole new dimension to the emotional core of ‘Choices’. Cerato's ability to transform the track while retaining its essence is a testament to his prowess as a remixer in the electronic music scene.

Besides all of this magic, Iorie's remix of ‘Choices’ takes a hypnotic and introspective approach, providing a stark contrast to the original. The downtempo beats create a mesmerizing atmosphere that draws the listener into an andino-trance-like state. The growly bass adds the necessary depth and intensity to the remix, creating an unforgettable immersive sonic experience. Iorie's reinterpretation of ‘Choices’ showcases the versatility of the track, proving that it can be appreciated in various moods and settings. His ability to craft a remix that delves deep into the listener's psyche is a testament to the Berlin producer’s unique style and talent.

‘Choices’ EP stands out as a testament to electronic music's ability to convey powerful emotions and narratives. Each track in this release offers a unique perspective on the complexities of life's choices. Pandhora's ability to evoke such raw emotions through their music solidifies their position as trailblazers in the electronic music scene.

► Release Info:

Finishing 2023 on another stratospheric high, GMJ & Matter return to their ever-rising imprint with a twin-track EP of rare quality as they end the year with “Stellaris / Idtritah”.

Over a year that saw a collection of releases cement their reputation in the rarefied atmosphere of the Progressive House movement’s leading lights, GMJ & Matter have seen music featured on Cid Inc.’s Replug, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Alex O’Rion’s newly minted Solis Records throughout 2023. Add to that a set of performances across their native Australia, Europe, and culminating in a spell-binding sold-out label showcase at Amsterdam’s Akhnaton as ADE hit the city for the dance industry’s annual shindig, and it’s not difficult to understand why the Melbourne-based duo are such hot properties.

As label bosses, the duo have overseen the meteoric rise of their Meanwhile imprint since its debut in early 2020. A regular fixture in the Beatport Progressive House Top 10 charts, Meanwhile has been the purveyor of outstanding underground dance music with a roster of artists including Jamie Stevens, Alex O’Rion and Simos Tagias. Now returning to their label with another pair of original offerings, “Stellaris” is a gorgeous free-flowing offering that immediately hits its stride with powerful beat, percussive intrigue and hallmark hi-hat urgency. Full of depth and delight, a sub-bassline hypnotises before an immaculately cadenced synth motif is woven into the rhythmic foundation with the precision of a master seamstress. A flowing and atmospheric new melody adds depth at the breakdown and continues into the head-shaking third movement accompanied by an array of white-noise risers. The result is another instant GMJ & Matter classic.

Continuing the deep, driving narrative of its partner track, “Idtritah” mesmerises with an immaculately constructed groove of rolling top-line hats and percussion, while a staccato bassline adds further gravitas. A cascading combination of melodies trip across each other with ease as a warm blanket of melodic flow and smooth delays envelops the listener, culminating a beautifully textured and ethereal mid-point break. A new plucked phrasing enters the fray in the second half to magical effect with the addition of subtle vocal textures and exquisitely placed effects creating another superb track that sits perfectly within the GMJ & Matter canon.

Ending the year as they began, GMJ & Matter shoot for the stars once more with “Stellaris / Idtritah”.
