A prolific and talented artist, Michael A now debuts on Meanwhile with his Bansuri / Orridian EP. A Belarusian producer with almost 1,500 credits to his name, Michael A has carved out a sizable niche for himself since his debut work for Stereofaza and Fluro Music in early 2012. Over a hundred of these credits can be found on his own Genesis Music imprint, with a substantial number appearing on a host of blue-chip imprints that include the likes of Replug, Perspectives Digital and Hernan Cattaneos Sudbeat Music. Moreover, almost a century of credits can be found on the long-running an iconic, Proton Music, with 12,000 Beatport followers to its name, including the much-lauded Fantasy series which released its fifth volume in June 2024. Now making a very welcome debut on GMJ & Matters flagship label, opener Bansuri is a typically deep and dominant track that bristles with dark energy. A driving peat provides a relentless propulsion mechanism as an immaculately programmed bassline sits perfectly within the mix. Rapid-fire shakers and hats create subtle urgency and tension while a light and airy melodic sequence gradually evolves, lifting the whole track out of its oppressive floor-filling character at the breakdown with an ethereal blend of spine-tingling melody. Dropping back into its rhythmic foundations in the second half with dynamic intent, the central melodic themes come to force once more in a majestic denouement. Partner track, Orridian continues the dancefloor narrative with its whip-cracking, chest thumping kick before a gently pulsating bassline displays additional low-end purpose. Intricate percussive shakers and intermittent effects generate a rich and squelching stereo-panned melange as layer upon layer of energy and intrigue is created in a sumptuous sonic tapestry. Pausing for breath at the mid-point, another light and refreshing melodic sequence develops with effortless ease. Hitting its stride once more in the third movement, the interlocked rhythmic and bassline patterns of earlier phrase emerge once more, this time accompanied by delicate motifs and multi-textured pads. Worth his wait in gold for a Meanwhile debut, Michael A excels in hallmark fashion with Bansuri / Orridian . Directed by GMJ & Matter Mastered by Cid Inc. Design by Matter Text by James Warren

Opening Melorama Músicas curated broadcast for 2026, the imprint proudly presents FJLs new Rider EP. A pulsating three-tracker, the rising Argentines latest delivery explores what lies beyond traditional confines with distinct curiosity in a way that feels intimate, yet expansive as ever. Initiating transmissions with Massive Drift, our voyage begins as a throbbing low end makes its way across chugging hi-hats, uncovering quivering stabs that amplify its cavernous signature. With the groove locked in, FJL unleashes an electrical storm that reaches acid hues as it contorts in strange and captivating ways, leading to a nebulous maelstrom where particles dissolve before reconfiguring themselves for a new beginning. Moving on, the Rosario-based producer presents us with Rider, an aptly named creation that takes us on a shimmering fever dream. Inside it, a restless bassline navigates the streets while textured percussive patterns add a layer of depth, before colliding with a solar storm that latches on as effervescent melodic shards, creating an irresistible sequence that never deviates from its inevitable horizon. Our final echo comes in the form of the ever-preplexing 3 Days To Go. A unique hybrid, FJLs last destination on this package is a rousing and intriguing proposal as we venture into headier terrains. Operating deeper underground, heavy-handed drumming takes center stage as primal patterns provide a solid foundation for guttural synthetic swells and ebbing waves to wash over the piece in a part ritualistic, part futuristic seance. From cavernous lows to radiant highs, Rider stakes FJLs claim as a fearless explorer of the unknown, guiding us through terrains both hypnotic and untamed.

Dear reader, Attached in the envelope three new tracks from me to you. When I heard Tantum & Hyunji were starting a label I was immediately excited. I love the things they do and the way they do it. Proud to be involved! This set of tracks I have loved to play so it holds some weight to me. So hopefully I put enough stamps on here. Write back soon! Kasper A1 / Amethyst Deceiver It is a tiny little mushroom that is bright purple and sticks out against the backdrop when youre lucky enough to find it walking through damp woods. It can be found around where I live. Its just so cool to see something peculiar in nature, right? Maybe just like this track in which I have put some peculiar melodies. Playing it on a piano wouldnt really work because it keeps bending in weird ways. Being slightly off just feels exactly right sometimes. Maybe that mushroom would feel the same if it had any thoughts. A2 / Mon Nom I love when music doesnt do more than necessary. For this track I let myself be less strict with the palette, giving some raw elements that make me move more space to breathe. Does it still sound like me though? I have put my name on it if youre unsure. B1 / In A Flash One of my personal favourites to play, happy it got its place on this EP. Once you reach that point in the night where it feels right to play this track it might be over in a flash. Design: Tom Liebchen Photography: Christoph Koestlin

After his towering aural triptych on Meanwhile in late-2025, Fran Garay now debuts on sister label, Meanwhile Horizons with the equally impressive Geros Melody. Always finding music at the centre of his soul, Fran Garay has been influenced by electronic sounds from an early age. Working through a variety of genres including Dubstep, EDM and Future House, the Argentine star discovered the sound of Progressive House through Martín García. Starting his production career on 3rd Avenue in late-2020, the Villa Mercedes resident has seen over a century of credits allied to such notable imprints as Alex ORions Solis Records, Forty Cats PURRFECTION and Mangos best-selling Mango Alley. A debut on September 2024s Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 4 was an immaculate Meanwhile debut, while the Restored / Irresponsible / Ill be Better created a bright and iridescent glow on GMJ & Matters hugely successful imprint in December 2025. Now beginning 2026 in style, Geros Melody opens with a shuffling rhythmic dynamo and deep sub-bass. Gradually evolving, sonic delicacy can be heard via a muted and filtered motif that is fully revealed at the beatless breakdown. Combined with a swathe of pitched and panned effects, especially in the second half, the track is a beautiful latticework of rhythm and melody. Continuing the powerful rhythmic backdrop, Do What You Can envelops the listener with a rolling percussion and warm bassline sequence. A pad drone adds another hypnotic element before a haunting lead line cuts through the rhythmic foundation with ease. Developing with counterpoint phrase and a vocal sample, the second half oozes with a filmic quality and dreamlike soundscape. The final track creates a slightly more downtempo vibe with the pitched and detuned vibrato of Dark Cities Silent My Tears exuding a relaxed electronica charm. Expanding over its 5-minute duration, a swathe of swells and textured pads enter the fray at the mid-point as motifs cascade and play off each other. The result is a mellifluous and intriguing landscape that is held together by a rich and mesmerising rhythmic foundation. Delivering another outstanding musical triptych, Fran Garay has created an opulent melodic narrative across Geros Melody. Directed by GMJ & Matter Mastered by Cid Inc.

Not new in our ranks, Mike Isai returns with a solid double-header and the usual amount of peak time energy and abundance of groove. Drawing inspiration from the sounds of New York Citys nightlife, Mike is taking his own vision to clubland with a trademark sound that allowed him to sign on some respected imprints such as Hope Recordings, One Dot Six Two and Mango Alley. Not to mention his massive EP Exit we released in 2024. For this new chapter he opens with Control, and here we are introduced to the deep tribal stylings rooted in the most pure tradition of the Big Apple clubbing tradition. Tough and uncompromising, the groove is bass heavy and soulful, becoming hypnotic with consummate ease. Next up, Desire has a similar tribal feel. Groovesome and chunky, this is one for the darker floors in the early hours where the phones are forgotten and music is the only thing that matters.

Next up on Solis Records we welcome Digital Mess.
