Hitting the heights once more on their Meanwhile imprint, GMJ & Matter turn to the iconic figure of Navar for the label’s 38th release as he delivers his 3-track “Return of the Sun”.

A dazzling career that spans over a decade and a double century of releases, Navar has seen his music featured on the likes of Guy J’s Lost & Found, Cid Inc’s Replug and Eelke Kleijn’s Outside The Box Music.

Now returning to Meanwhile after his remix of Alex O’Rion’s “The Chase” in February 2022, the “Return of the Sun” title track is a compelling blend of rhythmic dynamism and trademark melodic prowess. Building over the course of its coruscating 9-minute voyage, elegant and flowing melodies drift atop a deep kick and shimmering hi-hats. Redolent in cascading delays, blissful warmth radiates through the sonic layers that pause briefly for breath at the two-thirds point, before picking up the pace in the latter stages in a work where new motifs enter the aural collage.

Opening with atmospheric pads and rippling effects, “Trips” slowly hits is stride with heavy beat and clicking percussive groove. A subtle and intelligent offering, delicate melodies play across the mid-range in syncopated delays while a seismic legato bassline pitches its way in lockstep with the rhythmic foundation. The result is a shimmering beauty that unexpectedly draws to a dramatic and vibrant conclusion with a new 16th note bassline groove in the final movement.

The aptly titled “Luminescence” concludes the triptych with a huge bassline groove and velvety synth line that scuds across the sonic landscape in stereo-panned glory. Stratified layers of sound make their play as twinkling keys and counterpoint motifs rise and fall in a beautifully woven tapestry. The result is the perfect juxtaposition of low-end vibrancy and majestic melodic touch that is a hallmark of the Navar production sound.

A renowned artist who has always shone brightly in the electronic music firmament, Navar glows incandescent with “Return of the Sun”.

Navar - Luminesence

Amsterdam based Arjuna Schiks was a regular on Manual Music in the early years of the label, with his first appearance dating back all the way to 2009. After exploring other creative adventures in most recent years, he's ready to make his comeback, already illustrated by the well received release of his single 'Homestayer' on Manual Deep recently, and now with a full 4 track EP on Manual Music!

Lucanidae EP shows his trademark melodic, melancholic sound. Shy of any clichés, Arjuna's productions always sound like the work of a creative genius. Seamlessly alternating between uplifting positive sounds and darker infectious driving cuts, each of the four tracks do have special hard to define Arjuna Schiks sauce poured all over them. It's incredibly delicious, and we're so happy Arjuna is back on track!

A descent into the shadows where absence takes on its own color and silence speaks louder than memory. Each piece floats between intimate stillness and fractured intensity, carrying the echoes of what once was and the geometry of what is no longer. In this abyss, light bends into unknown shapes, revealing the beauty of disappearance.

The Shattered Parade

Хорошо помню, как в далёком детстве я впервые увидел миллионы подсвеченных солнечным светом капель, увидел радугу и замер от волнения смешанного с восхищением. Тысячи лет сила и красота природы вдохновляют художников на произведение, на созидание и конечно на любовь. Этот микс, как короткий летний дождь, который называют грибным, появился неожиданно, без подготовки и раздумий, а только из волшебного настроения, которое, я уверен, почувствуете и вы.
