Monarke feat. Jessica Zese - Otherside (The Remixes) [XYZ033]
Release Date - 4.16.21
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/OthersideRemixes

As winter takes its last breath in Montreal, we revisit the latest Quebecois artist to grace XYZ - Monarke. The Edge of Reality EP launched earlier this year to a hearty reception, and we follow it up with a set of remixes brimming with innovative energy.

Jessica Zese’s vocal performance on Otherside forms the backbone of the project, offering the centerpiece that sews the thread between these four tracks. Her balance of emotive power and soft prose make for memorable dancefloor moments and crucial character for the remixing artists. 

Nōpi is no stranger to the XYZ faithful, as he has proven to be a pillar of the label’s output over the last several years. The Ukranian adds his distinct percussive touch, offering a dubby remix with soaring strings and warm grooves, easing us to the close in true style.

Release info:
"  An artist with a growing reputation within the underground dance fraternity, Sebastian Sellares makes his Meanwhile debut with his "Dunes at Dawn" EP.

After a 2018 debut for PHW Elements, Sebastian Sellares has made increasingly sizeable waves with his smooth and unique musical style. Already seeing his music signed to an array of high-profile imprints including onedotsixtwo, UV and Or Two Strangers, Proton Music's "Zen State / Jinsei" was a further notable highlight in October 2020 including remixes from Matias Chilano and Bedrock's Nick Muir.

The title-track opener is a gloriously atmospheric offering that builds gently over a rhythmic foundation of rolling top-line groove and pounding beat. Filtered pads soon enter the fray followed by atmospheric birdsong effects and rippling arpeggiated synth line that resonate with the "Dunes at Dawn" title. Rising to a spine-tingling zenith at the mid-point alongside deep, captivating bassline, the second half continues the rich melodic collage creating a sumptuous start to the EP.

Continuing the powerful rhythmic basis of the opener, "The Stars Above" scintillates with its chugging rhythmic vibe and syncopated bassline pattern. Evolving through subtle percussive urgency, dreamlike pads float across the mid-range beside steam-powered white noise waves, before intricately programmed synth plucks complete the foundations. Before long, undulating arpeggios glitter in delayed patterns as counterpoint phrasing adds emotion and guile to create a contemplative offering.

"Nocturne" completes the musical triptych, revelling in a subtle melodic hypnotism that blends acid-tinged loop with flowing analogue motifs. Panning the stereo spectrum with plucked phrases, a magnificent combination of counterpoint melodies rise and fall across a nine-minute magnum opus that results in another string to Sellares' increasingly powerful bow. 

Three new tracks from Sebastian Sellares illustrate a sparkling display of sonic brilliance through the "Dunes at Dawn"."

PREMIERE: Sebastian Sellares - Dunes At Dawn (Original Mix) [meanwhile]

'A welcome returnee to Proton Music, Matter has a host of powerful original and remix material to his name, both under solo and collaborative guises, making him a firm favourite with the label faithful. Through his "Pronoia" and "We Are Dust" EPs, the Australian shone a light on his creative talent in 2016 and 2017, while collaborations with fellow Melbourne resident, GMJ, have seen the duo light up the label with a trio of original EPs. Remixes of Dousk, Embliss and Michael A have shone a different light on Matter's talent as he now returns with a typically impressive sound, characterised by a whip-cracking kick and rolling groove. A trademark bassline full of power and emotion muscles its way across the low end as subtle melodic touches hint at elements from Molosh's original. A glorious progression, layered with textured pads, form the perfect foundation for the piano so redolent in the original to take its rightful place at the centre, as arpeggios from the Matter arsenal wax and wane across the top. Building to a rousing crescendo at the mid-point the sequence hits its stride again in the third movement to incredible effect.'

SUZé Late-Blooming / Truly

001 late-blooming
002 late-blooming LADS remix
003 truly
004 truly subandrio remix

As the northern hemisphere awakens from winter slumbers, SUZé creates "Late-blooming"; a vibrant spring awakening from the interconnected waterways that grow out of the Elbe like tree branches. Free-flowing analogue melodies glide like tendrils across a root system of heavy beat and percussive intent. Continuing a "Truly" powerful narrative, rapid rolling bassline paves the way for clipped melodies to blossom into a rousing symphony of colour and vitality. Raw energy prevails in hypnotic beauty and subtle white noise infusions.

A return to familiar waters, the distance between Europe and South Africa vanishes through LADS' musical mastery, while seasonal inverse converges in deep "Late-blooming". Always intelligent, motifs flurry in characteristic innovative fashion. A new story emerges, full of glorious technicolour rooted in SUZé's work. At the height of production powers, Subandrio creates anther "Truly" impressive remix. From the western edge of a teardrop island, organic motifs, elegant effects and brooding bassline capture a distinctive style. Full of progressive power it glitters in pulsating, crashing waves of sound across Colombo coastline.

Continuing to add exciting new talent to their roster, Clubsonica Records welcomes Greg Ochman to the label for his debut EP. Although a relative newcomer, Greg's deeply rooted passion for creating emotionally driven electronic music has already made its mark. With an elusive yet emotive take on organic house, the Polish artist made his debut on Sebastian Leger's Lost Miracle imprint in January of this year. Well received by both his fans and contemporaries, it not only enjoyed a lengthy stay in Beatport's Organic House chart, but set the course for what promises to be a breakout year. Now following his 'Parallel Time' collection for Switzerland's Radiant, Greg makes his Clubsonica debut with a three-track showcase entitled 'Mistlove'.

Getting the EP underway with the title selection, Greg marries rolling grooves with playful melodic concepts. Pronounced and warm, an enticing selection of free form motifs elevates mood through shimmering arrays and effervescent artefacts. Nostalgic chord changes flow through the mountainous groove, perfectly setting up a tranquil break where timely modulation advances the narrative onwards to a tasteful apex. It's youthful spirit and carnival-like vibe prove to be infectious across nine magical minutes and ultimately set the course for the remainder of the release.

Continuing with a mosaic of sounds and infinite emotional spectrums is 'Paper Moon'. From warm and mystical beginnings, the piece pulsates with kaleidoscopic melodies and spirited wails blanketing driving percussion and buzzing effects. Soulful strings highlight a poignant centrepiece, perfectly playing off childlike vocal choirs, before getting washed away as the groove resets for a spirited finale.

Rounding out the release is the tastefully poignant 'Someone Always Around'. Immersive and captivating throughout, it's filled with electrifying energy and big room sounds designed for maximum emotional impact. This piece strikes the perfect balance between trance inspired melodies, voluptuous bass and buoyant rhythms, to create a potent piece of music for the dance floor. It caps off a hugely successful Clubsonica debut from Greg, who continues to stake his claim as one of the organic house scene's fastest rising stars, thus further solidifying Clubsonica's place in this burgeoning genre.

Bolivian Diary

Premiere: Sajith Prakash - Bolivian Diary [Eat My Hat Music]

'From the banks of the Volga, “Arepo” rises from a fortified citadel as Anton MAKe forges another powerful construct from the Sator Square. A rhythmic cadence rolls effortlessly forward as a bassline sits below in symmetrical beauty. Melodic splendour ripples concurrently in hypnotic parallel and a heavy beat anchors the symphony of sound. A returning Dutch master orchestrates a new masterpiece redolent in aural textures and opulent sonic palette. Glistening patterns swirl and coalesce around Roger Martinez’s vivid synth lines, pitching and bending against a harmonious chord sequence in delicate layers of tonality.

Along Lake Ontario’s north western shoreline, a new edifice rises from Dowden’s distinctive sonic architecture. Muted tones provide a mirror image of “Arepo”; a bouncing bassline creates easy familiarity while a new groove creates the framework for new artistry to flourish. A South American star creates an arpeggiated backdrop with palindromic majesty where John Cosani reinvents “Arepo”. Water droplets of sound filter through the sonic spectrum alongside familiar bass patterns and a swathe of original textures blend in vivid sonic colours.'

Forty Cats - Driada

Returning to Meanwhile after a stellar debut remix of Roger Martinez in December 2020, Paul Deep now comes to the label with his debut EP in the shape of the four-track “Deeper Dye”.

A regular contributor to the electronic dance scene with his distinctive brand of underground house music, Paul Deep has seen his music featured on some of the finest modern imprints to grace the industry, including Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music, Nick Warren’s The Sound Garden and Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream. The latter saw the sublime “Aeras” as part of “A Winter Sampler III” compilation in January 2021.

Now making his full Meanwhile debut, “Deeper Dye” opens the EP with its powerful rhythmic framework of driving kick and shaker-fuelled percussion. Syncopated synth plucks add to the aural collage as deeply textured pads provide a new steam-powered layer. A chorus of synth phrasing enriches the story at the two-thirds point as the hypnotic combination of powerful bass and dance-friendly rhythm create tension in the second half.

“Masha” continues the dynamic metrical narrative of the title track as muted musical layers filter into sonic range. Pausing for breath to introduce new arpeggiated sequences, the track builds elegantly across its 8-minute duration as each successive phrase brings another layer of intrigue before the final movement is introduced in a powerhouse of sonic seduction and compelling beauty.

Giving the listener an impression of continuity, “Nina” provides the same cadenced percussion and chest-thumping kick, while a juxtaposition of lighter synth motifs creates an uplifting moment. Evolving effortlessly, a sustained pad and beautifully held chord swell across the stereo spectrum at a resplendent and stripped back breakdown before rhythm and bass find their mark once more in the final stages.

Closing the EP, “Shura” creates a slightly lighter moment as a superbly hypnotic arpeggio meanders across the body of the near 8-minute piece, accompanied by richly textured pads and evolving melodic tapestry. Expertly pausing for breath at strategically based intervals, the track is further tied together by a reverb-laden hi-tom that sits perfectly amongst the multi-faceted and entwined synth motifs.

Exposing a vivid and multi-coloured sonic palette, Paul Deep has created a transcendent quartet of tracks through his “Deeper Dye” EP.
