The tenth edition of the Early Morning label stands as both a milestone and a statement of intent. In just a single year, its founder has reshaped the underground dance music landscape with a catalog that redefined the possibilities of the genre. This latest release features two new pieces that together form a tightly woven conceptual work spanning nearly seventeen minutes. Guy J has built his reputation on reinvention. Each release feels less like a continuation of his past and more like a step into uncharted terrain. On the opening track, Worlds Apart, he fuses an emotive core with intricate sound design and spatial experimentation, leading listeners into liminal states where consciousness and subconsciousness blur. Despite its cerebral qualities, the piece never loses its pulse, the steady momentum that keeps it firmly anchored to the dancefloor. True to the labels name, this is music designed for dawn, for moments of release after a long night, for embraces on crowded floors, for the intangible bonds that form through shared experience. The second track, Surreal, pushes further into abstraction. While echoes of early trance, a genre that shaped Guy J during his formative years, are evident, the piece reframes those influences through a progressive, hypnotic, and technologically refined lens. It is this ability to blend memory with innovation that distinguishes Guy J from his peers, offering listeners not just music but a reimagined space in which sound itself becomes an act of discovery.

Its so good to have a hot new EP from Guy J on the label and both tracks on this release are absolutely stunning. Bedrock and Guy J have a long established history with 3 artists albums and multiple EP releases alongside some classic remixes over the years, so were all very happy to have this fresh new release from him.

Every beginning carries excitement and unpredictability, requiring something extraordinary. Whether rooted in creationism, biblical narratives, or the Big Bang Theory, both theological and scientific origin stories resonate with events echoing millions of years into the future. One of the leading names in contemporary underground music, Guy J, embarks on a new journey. As a dedicated futurist and sound enthusiast who pushes boundaries akin to science fiction, Guy delivers the first track on his new label with an abstract vision of the layered future of sound. From the opening patterns till the end, A Million Years From Now offers an adventure, blending moments of free-flowing thought with a perfectly engineered audio collage that evokes a spectrum of abstract emotions—from melancholia and psychedelia to breathless excitement and, ultimately, pure euphoria. The layered creativity transcends realism, leading listeners into a state of trance. The second piece, Just Rain, kicks off with a bass-heavy, pumping kick drum that vibrates speakers on any sound system. However, Guy J transforms this from a rhythm-based track into a melodic epic. Its power lies in the seamless transitions and manipulation of effects and in the compositional structure that evolves over the eight-minute arrangement. Despite its subtle atmosphere, the melody culminates in an explosion of emotions that stimulate every frequency of the audible sound spectrum. This 15-minute preview of Guy Js forward-thinking, innovative work indicates a promising future for his label. Experience the birth and transformation of a new era in sound from day one!

This EP marks the coming together of two of the most respected, influential titans in progressive House; Jamie Stevens and Guy J. Jamie is smoking hot off the back of a highly acclaimed, praised and loved debut album, select apppeareacnes live with names like Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J & Anthony pappa and a no.1 Ep on Bedrock. Guy J just delivered arguably one of the greatest Global Underground mixes yet as well as some of last years most talked about singles with several hitting Beatports top spots coupled with incredible shows reaching massive audiences and stages around the globe. The original mixes experiment with dark and light forces jostling with a beautiful yearning vocal. A musical piece that shows patience and restraint with trippy time signatures, bleeps, atmosphere, distinct breaks and dreamy vocals drawing you deeper and washing over you like a reassuring whisper from a loved one. Jamie has long operated in the space between club functionality and emotional depth, and here he leans heavy into that tension, never fully resolving, always pulling the listener forward. Tassolem’ gets a club-ready super highly anticipated remix by Guy J who delivers a masterpiece completely re-envisioning one of his favourite producers, very intentionally selecting a track with clear hallmarks of musical integrity and special ingredients. Guy takes a number of magical core elements from the original and layers subtle beautiful, shifting textures over deep melodics building steady momentum that is felt subtly as its story unravels rather than heard quickly. Melodic fragments shimmer beneath the surface, hinting at deep felt emotions without spelling it out until it washes over you in swathes and your arms uncontrollably raise up in appreciation; an understated anthem if you will. The groove remains hypnotic and unforced, progressive music in the truest sense: not about drops or drama, but about a real authentic journey. There’s a saying to always observe and enjoy the journey, not the pay-off which feels apt and a rule we should all pay more attention towards in life and sums up this release better than we can - enjoy!

The second part of the Miami Beats series brings together a carefully selected roster that includes Guy J, Guy Mantzur, Roy Rosenfeld, Tamir Regev, Simon Vuarambon, PROFF, Volen Sentir, and several other established voices of the contemporary progressive and melodic house spectrum. Conceived as a cohesive listening experience rather than a loose collection of tracks, the release also delivers a bonus DJ mix by Ariel Vromen. The compilation opens with Crosses and Angels feat. Angela (Guy Mantzur Remix) by Lopezhouse, where restrained vocals and controlled momentum set the album's tonal foundation. Nano (Newman (I Love) Remix) by Tamir Regev follows, highlighting gradual builds and rhythmic precision that echo throughout the selection. Tracks such as The Rumble by PROFF & Volen Sentir and Roy Rosenfeld's Hello provide contrast through shifts in density and phrasing, while Guy J's Evo anchors the record with its measured balance between tension and release. The music goes even deeper with Simon Vuarambon's Sila, ECHO DAFT & Kebin Van Reeken's Years of Ascent, and Nectar by Guy Mantzur and Kamilo Sanclemente, each contributing distinct melodic identities without disrupting the overall continuity. As the compilation progresses, Himalaya by Eric Lune & Juan Sapia, Chicola's Diosma, and Greg Ochman's Kaizen reinforce the album's focus on structure and restraint. The closing stretch expands its emotional and cultural reach with Middle East by Tamir Regev, Avi Snow, and Nadav Vee, followed by Keep My Letters from Tantum & Hyunji-A, before concluding with Sahar Z's introspective Zikaron. Complementing the track selection is a DJ mix by Ariel Vromen, a film director and producer known for helming the 2012 feature The Iceman and other cinematic works. His multidisciplinary background bridges narrative sensibility, lending a distinctive arc to the listening experience. Taken as a whole, LifeArt020 Miami Beats vol.2 is a thoughtfully assembled release that values progression and speaks to listeners seeking depth within club- rooted electronic
