Connection One

Premiere: Hermanez & Lost Desert - Positive Regulator [Mooizo]

Known for his world-building soundscapes and vibrant creative vision, Belfast-born Dee Montero is a longstanding maestro of the melodic scene. His signature style has led him to work with iconic labels such as Dynamic, Anjunadeep, All Day I Dream, and Knee Deep In Sound, dazzle crowds from Burning Man to Do Not Sit on The Furniture, and travel the world from Bali to the Balearic Isles.

Montero’s ever-evolving sound has drawn from an eclectic selection of inspirations over the years, from retro-futurism to lectures on philosophy or his musical muses such as 80s synth-pop, 90s trance and 00s Balearic beats. His own imprint, Futurescope, is a vision of this aesthetic and ideology built around a sense of modern nostalgia. Through a union of technology, audio and visual artefacts, Montero brings his inner world to life.

Receiving early support from John Digweed, the introspective EP sees Montero dig into deeper organic rhythms. The eponymous lead track opens with ethereal vocals that seemingly chime from an outer world before ascending to a steady stacking beat. Second to ‘Within A Dream’ is ‘One Of Us’ with its moody opening atmosphere that grows into a soul-stirring synth-led melody destined for a dusky sunrise. The final track, ‘Lumina’, flips the previous structure on its head with a bubbling intensity, dissolving into a heavier, more intentional beat flavoured by warping strings.

Combining nostalgic synths, driving percussion and celestial vocals, ‘Within A Dream’ leads the listener to another world where anything is possible.

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do. Please support the artist and record label by following:

Within A Dream

Premiere: Dee Montero - One Of Us [Futurescope]

"September Blues" invites listeners into a vibrant fusion of deep house rhythms and soulful melodies, crafted by South African maestro Malcolm Lewis.

Malcolm Lewis weaves intricate layers of melodic synths and ethereal vocal samples, creating a mesmerizing atmosphere that resonates with both warmth and melancholy.

As the track evolves, dynamic shifts in rhythm and texture mirror the shifting emotions of September—a month of endings and new beginnings. The deep, resonant bass provides a solid foundation while playful percussion elements add a touch of spontaneity, inviting listeners to surrender to the irresistible cadence of the music.

"September Blues" is not just a track but a journey—an invitation to embrace change and find solace in the beauty of fleeting moments. Malcolm Lewis's masterful production ensures that each note is infused with passion and authenticity, making this track a timeless addition to any deep house enthusiast's playlist.

► Release Info:

Returning to Meanwhile with a full debut EP, Zankee Gulati continues his journey as a rising progressive house talent with the “Mind Opener / Magnetic Island” EP. A single remix comes from Argentinean duo, Analog Jungs.

A recognised force in his Sydney hometown, Zankee Gulati has continued to see his star shine increasingly bright within the underground dance firmament. An artist and promoter renowned for his spellbinding sets across Sydney’s clubs and for bringing the likes of Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Ben Bohmer to New South Wales, the Australian’s performance in the studio has only cemented a rapidly growing reputation. A mounting catalogue of sumptuous offerings has increasingly featured on the likes of Sudbeat Music, The Soundgarden and Balance Music, plus a standout contribution to John Digweed’s “Futuro” compilation on Bedrock, with “Low Tide” in collaboration with fellow countryman, Jamie Stevens. Two appearances on GMJ & Matter’s imprints in December 2022 saw “The Magic Spoon” feature on “Beyond The Horizon, Vol. 2”, while “HereAfter” found its way onto the flagship label’s, “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 3” in July 2023.

Now hitting the heights once more, the light and airy tones of “Mind Opener” reveal themselves over a strong kick and ticking percussive top-line. Rippling arps and a strong motif keep the energy high as analogue edge gradually develops within the latter with an open filter creates a range of harmonic frequencies that shine over a beatless breakdown. Dropping back into the hefty rhythmic groove, the track then draws to its meticulously sculpted conclusion. “Magnetic Island” is a deep, chugging powerhouse. Full of rhythmic prowess and building elegantly through thumping kick and shaker-driven groove, a beautiful melodic passage develops within a hypnotic arp that filters to a powerful denouement in the final stages. The strong rhythmic narrative of its predecessor then finds its place once more in the final stages.

A single remix comes from Argentinean duo, Analog Jungs, who first came to Meanwhile prominence on their 3-track “Surrender” EP in March 2022. Already regulars on blue-chip labels that include Mango Alley, Hope Recordings and Manual Music, the Córdoba-based pair excel once more with a chunky interpretation that creates a trademark rhythmic foundation and driving bassline groove. Adding tropes from Zankee Gulati’s original, they turn “Mind Opener” into an exciting and dynamic new track that is redolent in additional production material and melodic invention. The result is a powerful remix that is an exceptional addition to the EP.

New music from Zankee Gulati and a remix from Analog Jungs pull “Mind Opener / Magnetic Island” into the centre of the Progressive House map.
