    Alex O'Rion

    Beatport Top Releases

    An artist constantly at the vanguard of the Progressive House sound, Alex O'Rion returns to Meanwhile with another elite EP, this time with the magical "Hartseer / Flow".\n\nHaving built a sizeable and dedicated following over a career spanning two decades, Alex O'Rion is no stranger to success. A globally touring DJ with gigs in South America, Australasia, Asia, North America and across Europe, Alex is as proficient at building memories from behind the decks as he is creating new sonic masterpieces from his Nijerk-based studio. Moreover, so in-demand is the Dutch master that he has sat firmly in the Beatport Top 10 Progressive House artist chart for 6 consecutive years with a raft of releases on the likes of Sudbeat Music, Anjunadeep, Lost and Found and his own Top 20 Progressive House label, Solis Records.\n\nA resident artist on GMJ & Matter's flagship label, a trio of original EPs between 2021 and 2025 sit proudly within an extraordinary canon of production material that also includes remixes for Jiminy Hop and the Meanwhile label heads themselves. In addition, Alex has also seen his original compositions reworked by such legendary progressive figures as Simos Tagias, Sebastian Sellares, Navar and Roger Martinez.\n\nNow returning for a fourth original EP, "Hartseer" is a typically evocative track that builds on an intoxicatingly deep groove and thumping kick. A rolling sub-bassline creates body-shaking dancefloor energy before glacial synth lines flow majestically across an 8-minute timeframe. Evolving endlessly, glassy plucks and revolving arps percolate in an aural melting pot that generates listener interest and captivating atmospheres that only Alex is able to create. Blossoming into the latter stages with extended groove, copious effects and oscillating melodies, "Hartseer" deserves to be displayed in the Rijksmuseum as a sonic work of art.\n\nContinuing the deep rhythmic narrative, the aptly named, "Flow" is as mesmerising as it is evocative with its huge, sustained bassline sequence. Quickly hitting its stride, enthralling melodies augment the rhythmic foundation as they coruscate easily across the track's duration. Pausing for breath at a dazzling breakdown of melodic interplay, the third movement explodes in a firework display of glittering fragments that extend the scope of earlier phrasing in an expansive call and answer pattern.\n\nA pair of new tracks sees Alex O'Rion at his poignant and melancholic best with "Hartseer / Flow"\n\nDirected by GMJ & Matter\nMastered by Cid Inc.\nDesign by Matter\nText by James Warren

    Mango Alley proudly presents Leave The World Behind, the debut artist album from Maze 28 — a milestone that captures the evolution of his melodic, emotive, and rhythm-driven progressive house sound. Spanning 12 tracks, the album reflects the depth and maturity Maze 28 has honed over the years, with sound ranging from deep and hypnotic to dancefloor and vivid, perfectly balancing atmospheric introspection with confident, driving energy. The album consists of 6 original tracks and 6 collaborations featuring Ricky Ryan, Subandrio, Alex ORion, Weird Sounding Dude, GMJ, and Paul Thomas — names who have inspired Maze 28 and whose work he has deeply respected for years. Each of the established artists brings their own distinct touch to the release, expanding the albums sound palette with deeper grooves, captivating melodies, and refined dancefloor momentum. Leave The World behind is designed for both immersive listening and late-night club worlds. The heart of it is simple and sincere: a nod to the old-school roots — the timeless sound that continues to inspire and stays with us forever. This is where Maze 28 steps in and invites listeners to disconnect from the everyday noise and dive into a soundscape crafted with heart, precision, and purpose.
