Starting 2024 with fresh new music, Meanwhile begins the year with two seasoned producers of the progressive house scene as Navar and Golan Zocher collaborate to produce, "Zoom Out". A single remix comes courtesy of a legendary Australian artist. A hugely respected artist within the underground dance fraternity, Navar has been at the vanguard of electronic music for over a decade. From early work for Klopfgeist, the Dutch star has been a regular on fellow countryman, Eelke Kleijn's Outside The Box as well as Guy J's Lost & Found and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music. Making his Meanwhile debut remixing Alex O'Rion in early 2022, the 3-track "Return of the Sun" at the end of the year shone an iridescent glow over Navar's production credentials. Similarly, Golan Zocher is another artist with an impressive production portfolio to his name. Work for Clubsonica Records, Mango Alley and Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital have lit up the Progressive House scene since a debut for Crossfade Sounds in mid-2016. Making his Meanwhile debut on July 2022's "Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2", in partnership with GMJ on "Negev", Golan Zocher now returns with another striking collaboration. "Zoom Out" is a beautifully mined progressive house gem that bristles with pounding kick and driving bassline zeal. A mesmeric groove rolls relentlessly forward as subtle percussive touches allow the track to build with ease. Evolving over its near 8-minute timeframe a series of interconnected melodies weave a magical tapestry where pads and subtle motifs cascade over each other in seamless fashion. A breakdown pause then allows for the development of melodic sequences to take centre stage in the second half to create a stunning and multi-layered track. Jamie Stevens reputation within the electronic music industry is second to none. An artist with a career stretching back over two decades, his solo work has graced the finest labels including Bedrock, Balance Music and Selador. June 2022's 3-track "Circles" EP marked a Meanwhile high point, followed by October 2023's twin-track "Mad Bells / Kanlan". Remixed by Navar in April 2023, Jamie now returns the favour with a typically inventive and dynamic interpretation that takes "Zoom Out" to soaring new heights. Via intelligent manipulation of track components, the Australian has created a pounding dancefloor epic that hypnotises through its sustained and rolling bassline. A subtle grooved rhythm plays atop with intricate placement of percussive sounds while familiar melodic elements flow freely around the rhythm and bass anchor. Adding a Vangelis-esque synth phrase at the stripped back mid-point offers a beguiling and fluid aura to proceedings as the remix picks up the dancefloor pace once more in another hugely impressive Jamie Stevens production. Traversing a wide and varied soundscape, Navar & Golan Zocher have created a brilliant snapshot with "Zoom Out", superbly aided by the peerless Jamie Stevens.

"Meanwhile Impressions - 2023" is a new series that takes a retrospective look back at another year chock full of musical highs after another phenomenally successful year for the label.

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". Directed by GMJ & Matter Mastered by Cid Inc. Design by Matter Text by James Warren

Scaling the heights with the soaring "Levera | Agmoli" in September 2022, Jiminy Hop continued his impressive relationship with Meanwhile. Now returning to the EP, a pair of remixes from the Australian label heads and a Dutch icon continue the story. Revitalised after a European tour and sold-out label showcase at ADE 2023, GMJ & Matter continue to ride the crest of a tidal wave of success. Founded upon a distinctive and evergreen production sound, the duo's music continues to make waves of its own reaching dancefloors across the world, supported by global DJ A-listers. Moreover, the duo's output on Meanwhile has seen a raft of original work since April 2020 in the shape of three original EPs, plus remixes for Roger Martinez, Simos Tagias, Rich Curtis and Alex O'Rion. Fresh from October 2023's "Arkeron" on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, GMJ & Matter return to their spiritual home with a typically inspiring remix of "Levera". Anchored by a kick full of heavyweight power, a rolling groove easily filters into the sonic frame as familiar percussive tropes from the original echo across the 8-minute piece. Evolving in dark and brooding majesty, a cadenced bassline adds weight and club-friendly hypnotism before a siren-filled breakdown heralds a third movement that brings in subtle variation, arpeggiated motifs and an immaculately blended central melodic riff from Jiminy Hop's track. The result is another 24-carat gold remix that showcases GMJ & Matter's talent to its fullest. An artist at the vanguard of progressive house for over 15 years, Alex O'Rion continues to find himself much in-demand. From early outings on Black Hole focusing on trance, Alex's work for Sudbeat Music, The Soundgarden and his own newly minted Solis Records has crystallised into a sumptuous deep progressive house sound. A regular on Meanwhile with a raft of original and remix work, May 2021's 4-track "Echium" and August 2022's "Solis / Pluvia / Sericum" EPs have lit up the label. Following on from remixes for GMJ & Matter and Rich Curtis, Alex O'Rion now delivers a typically smooth and effervescent reworking of "Agmoli". A chest-thumping kick and clicking top-line supply head-shaking groove as familiar refrains from the original shimmer across the mid-range pre-breakdown. Through a sublime melodic narrative, a cast of characters both old and new, showcase O'Rion's production talents as jagged analogue synth phrases coruscate in complex patterns, interwoven with arpeggiated patterns from Jiminy Hop's track. Full of sonic intrigue and a palette of mellifluous sequences, the remix hits glorious heights post-breakdown as the full combination of bass, rhythm and melody combine to wondrous effect. Through a pair of new remixes Jiminy Hop's "Levera / Agmoli" continues to sparkle in brilliant sonic colours courtesy of GMJ & Matter and Alex O'Rion. Directed by GMJ & Matter Mastered by Cid Inc.
