As Meanwhile Horizons readies itself for an 18th impressive release, Matter and Eric Lune join forces for an Australian triple-tracker on "Starlight / Memory Burn / EyeAndYou". Both shining lights within the progressive fraternity, Melbourne-based Matter and Eric Lune are individually responsible for a plethora of high-profile releases on such leading imprints as Balance Music, Vapour Recordings and Proton Music. Now the co-founder of the Meanwhile brand joins forces with a label debutant as Meanwhile Horizons brings together Matter and Eric Lune for their collaborative debut. Replete with trademark progressive house tropes, "Starlight" opens proceedings with a typically smooth and luscious sonic landscape. A heavy beat and shimmering percussive backdrop combine with rippling arpeggio to pave the way for a lead motif that takes centre stage. Full of warm feelgood overtones, subtle vocal textures build as layers of new melody and pitched synth effects create an elegant and blissful wall of sound. "Memory Burn" offers a slightly faster-paced touch with its kick / snare combination and triplet hi-hat shuffle. A muted arpeggio soon enters the fray as its open filter cadence sits perfectly within the rhythmic backdrop. Adding dancefloor flavour, a smooth bassline sequence creates a stunning emotive atmosphere while a floating synth lead hits its zenith at the mid-point before dropping away to deliver a stunning new grooved bassline. Combining effortlessly in the second half, rhythm, melody and bass sizzle and sparkle in majestic fashion. The final track finds a chunky rhythmic framework laying the foundation for a huge bassline groove to propel "EyeAndYou" into Ibiza dancefloor territory. Syncopated synth riffs sparkle while vocal flourishes and glassy keys create counterpoint melody aplenty as they pan across the stereo spectrum. The result is a delicate and effortless affair that resonates with a Way Out West / Jody Wisternoff air.
