Returning to Meanwhile with a full debut EP, Zankee Gulati continues his journey as a rising progressive house talent with the Mind Opener / Magnetic Island EP. A single remix comes from Argentinean duo, Analog Jungs. A recognised force in his Sydney hometown, Zankee Gulati has continued to see his star shine increasingly bright within the underground dance firmament. An artist and promoter renowned for his spellbinding sets across Sydneys clubs and for bringing the likes of Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Ben Bohmer to New South Wales, the Australians performance in the studio has only cemented a rapidly growing reputation. A mounting catalogue of sumptuous offerings has increasingly featured on the likes of Sudbeat Music, The Soundgarden and Balance Music, plus a standout contribution to John Digweeds Futuro compilation on Bedrock, with Low Tide in collaboration with fellow countryman, Jamie Stevens. Two appearances on GMJ & Matters imprints in December 2022 saw The Magic Spoon feature on Beyond The Horizon, Vol. 2, while HereAfter found its way onto the flagship labels, Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 3 in July 2023. Now hitting the heights once more, the light and airy tones of Mind Opener reveal themselves over a strong kick and ticking percussive top-line. Rippling arps and a strong motif keep the energy high as analogue edge gradually develops within the latter with an open filter creates a range of harmonic frequencies that shine over a beatless breakdown. Dropping back into the hefty rhythmic groove, the track then draws to its meticulously sculpted conclusion. Magnetic Island is a deep, chugging powerhouse. Full of rhythmic prowess and building elegantly through thumping kick and shaker-driven groove, a beautiful melodic passage develops within a hypnotic arp that filters to a powerful denouement in the final stages. The strong rhythmic narrative of its predecessor then finds its place once more in the final stages. A single remix comes from Argentinean duo, Analog Jungs, who first came to Meanwhile prominence on their 3-track Surrender EP in March 2022. Already regulars on blue-chip labels that include Mango Alley, Hope Recordings and Manual Music, the Córdoba-based pair excel once more with a chunky interpretation that creates a trademark rhythmic foundation and driving bassline groove. Adding tropes from Zankee Gulatis original, they turn Mind Opener into an exciting and dynamic new track that is redolent in additional production material and melodic invention. The result is a powerful remix that is an exceptional addition to the EP. New music from Zankee Gulati and a remix from Analog Jungs pull Mind Opener / Magnetic Island into the centre of the Progressive House map. Directed by GMJ & Matter Mastered by Cid Inc.

His remix is a melodic and groovy interpretation that beautifully borrows the lead melody from the original. The track is highlighted by a long and epic breakdown, building an emotional crescendo that culminates in a powerful and uplifting drop. Soul Navis entrance into production is both bold and introspective, adding a new layer to his multifaceted role within the label. Closing the EP is Heaven INC.s remix, marking the Budapest duos debut on Traful.

This release not only celebrates Mayros influential work but also underscores Trafuls dedication to fostering creativity and pushing the boundaries of electronic music in 2024.
A South American duo of considerable repute, Ric Niels & Tiefstone join forces to display their combined talents on Opposite / Mannheim. From the nature-rich Chaco province in northeast Argentina, Ric Niels has carved out a sizeable reputation with his dramatic and charismatic brand of progressive house. With a triple century of production credits to his name after a 2020 debut on Clinique Recordings, Rics work has been a staple of such blue-chip imprints as Praveen Acharys Juicebox Music, Paul Thomas UV and a half-century of credits for Mangos eponymously titled, Mango Alley. Moreover, May 2023 saw the Argentinean hit impressive heights with his Psyncopath / Pirate EP on Proportion. A select portfolio of immaculately crafted music has seen Juan Carlos Villalba flourish with his Tiefstone production moniker after early high-profile releases on John Digweeds Bedrock Records and Hernan Cattaneos Sudbeat Music in 2016 and 2017. Since then, the Brazilian artist has gone on to showcase his work on TFT Musik, Dear Deer White and fellow countryman D-Noxs Sprout, in July 2024. Joining forces for the first time on Marchs 2024s Abby EP, Sudbeat Music was the perfect vehicle for the duos flowing production style with the title track championed by El Maestro himself. Now returning for their first collaborative outing on Dmitry Moloshs label, Opposite is characterised by a deep flowing groove and hefty beat that provides the perfect vehicle for a cavernous and growling bassline to power through the low-end. Rising and falling with open-filtered aggression, a searing lead-line adds vibrancy aplenty alongside white-noise washes. A pause for breath at the breakdown sees the introduction of smooth and pulsating waves of textured pads make their presence felt before the track drops back into the sublime dancefloor cadence of early phases. Continuing the strong rhythmic narrative of its counterpart, Mannheim is another chunky bass-fuelled affair that drives relentlessly forward with chest-thumping kick and percussive groove. Before long, the rhythmic collage is juxtaposed with an array of effects and pad layers while a central melodic theme enters the fray at the mid-point with an immaculate and spine-tingling accent that is sure to provide dancefloor appeal. Layered with the metrical poise of earlier phrasing, the combination of melody, rhythm and deep bass sequence then plays out in the second half to mesmerising effect.

The latest release from Tashs Movement Limited finds Stereo Munk and Leandro Murua collaborating on a two-track EP. Based in Pakistan, Stereo Munk would establish himself within the countrys electronic music scene through early releases via Massive Harmony Records and Zephyr Music. Often finding a creative balance between progressive and organic house, the Islamabad resident has since taken his superlative sound to well established imprints such as Hoomidaas, Juicebox Music, Mango Alley, Plattenbank and more, while earning support from genre trendsetters Guy Mantzur and Hernan Cattaneo. Also finding a home on Movement Recordings, Stereo Munk would make his label debut in 2022 with a contribution to the imprints popular Technical Progress series, a release which would lead to three additional projects for the labels various outlets, the most recent of which was a remix for the Savrun Brothers. Meanwhile, Argentinean artist Leandro Murua has enjoyed similar success across his four year production career. Releases for Juicebox Music, Mango Alley, The Soundgarden and UV sit prominently on this discography, while progressive music tastemakers Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Mariano Mellino and Nick Warren have been steadfast with support along the way. Now, combining their extensive forces for Movement Limited, Stereo Munk and Leandro Murua land on the label with The Swamp. Beginning with the groovy qualities of The Swamp, the duos creative synergy is on full display, as flashing percussion and percolating synths layer chunky basslines for a first act that is both creative and club-effective. Orbiting effects and extraterrestrial synth mutations carve out an intriguing path into the main break, one where fog-like swells and sizzling electronics build tension towards a finale that is equal parts trippy and melodic. The duos distinct aesthetic continues on the second and final selection Cavern. Going for more of a groove-centric approach, its near nine-minute running time quickly sets you adrift in a progressive wasteland of retro-sonics and granular textures. Both intimate and wide-ranging, its an arp-infused break which engulfs your attention whole, creating a ceremonial backdrop for misty glitches and gaseous sweeps to paint a scenic storyboard onwards to a rejuvenating finale.
A happy twelfth birthday to Manual Musics MNL subsidiary. Heres a nice compilation album with some of the most populair tracks from the last year.

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!
Here comes three-tracker EP „Ready To Ride by Buka. The opening and title track might as well be from a 90s action movie - its cinematic fusion of sound elements makes us jump up from our theater seats. „Downstairs is no less 90-esque, but on a much grander scale - the long risers take us for a ride and create epic proportions. And „That Boy goes deep deep deep - a dark room illuminated only for split seconds by the flashing strobe light. Feel the raw animalistic power and raving human bodies.

After the success of his debut EP in June 2023, Verche now returns to Particles with his Into the Light that combines a trio of original tracks with remixes from Croatian and Australian artists. Marin Roncevic has been a powerful force in the Progressive House and Melodic House & Techno genres through his Verche soubriquet. Since a 2013 debut, some 250 production credits have shone over a decade on such labels as Heath Mill Recordings, Bonzai Progressive, System Recordings and the October 2023 Saints & Sinners album on Sangria. Making his full Particles EP debut in mid-2023, Riptide lit up the Croatians credentials as he now returns. The title track immediately commands listener attention with its chugging rhythmic intensity and beautifully sculpted piano motifs. Easily transforming into dramatically cadenced sequences, Into the Light rises and falls with dramatic and spine-tingling intensity. The chunky rhythmic foundation of Night at the Velvet Mountain is quickly developed into an innovatively and intriguingly created melodic sequence that evolves through repeated note patterns. Thickly textured pads and floating vocal phrasing add to the sonic collage as it develops more traditional dancefloor characteristics in the second half. The mellifluous tones of Sweet Desert drift over a head-shaking groove and heavy beat as a rich sub-bassline adds weight aplenty. Delicately crafted, layers of soundscape build upon each other with shimmering intensity, subtle vocal intonations and emotive chord progression. Petar Dundov has been a musical revelation for a quarter of a century since he burst onto the melodic techno scene in late-2001. Some 400 production credits later and Petar has been a mainstay of Sven Väths Cocoon Recordings, DAYS like NIGHTS, Sudbeat Music and Bedrock Records. A regular on Proton Music with his Salvation and Spark EPs in December 2020 and October 2021, a pair of Particles remixes for Chihaka and Gaston Ponte in 2021 and 2023 are now followed by a third as Petar Dundov remixes his fellow countryman. Taking on Into the Light, a trademark sound comes flooding through as cascading and grooved arpeggios build upon each other over a huge sub-bassline and immaculate club groove. Evolving easily, familiar melodic patterns from Verches original come to the fore, combined with gorgeous and shimmering keys. Waxing and waning a new synth lead arrives post-breakdown against the ordered chaos of the original. Another artist with strong production credentials, Dave Leck arrives on Particles once more after the success of a quartet of original EPs between 2019 and 2024. Thus Stardust, Primal Connection, Elevate and Opal have showcased the Australians talent in addition to his work for 3rd Avenue, Soundteller Records and a half-century of credits for Nick Lewis Emotional Content Recordings. Now reworking Sweet Desert, the Dave Leck remix builds upon the melodic phrasing found in Verches original and transforms it into a seething club-friendly powerhouse. A deeply resonant kick, ticking hats and cavernous bassline are juxtaposed against cascading arpeggios that pan the stereo spectrum at the beatless breakdown, before combining effortlessly with the metronomic rhythm in the second half to create a mesmerising and free-flowing interpretation.

The chunky rhythmic foundation of Night at the Velvet Mountain is quickly developed into an innovatively and intriguingly created melodic sequence that evolves through repeated note patterns. Thickly textured pads and floating vocal phrasing add to the sonic collage as it develops more traditional dancefloor characteristics in the second half. The mellifluous tones of Sweet Desert drift over a head-shaking groove and heavy beat as a rich sub-bassline adds weight aplenty. Delicately crafted, layers of soundscape build upon each other with shimmering intensity, subtle vocal intonations and emotive chord progression. Petar Dundov has been a musical revelation for a quarter of a century since he burst onto the melodic techno scene in late-2001. Some 400 production credits later and Petar has been a mainstay of Sven Väths Cocoon Recordings, DAYS like NIGHTS, Sudbeat Music and Bedrock Records. A regular on Proton Music with his Salvation and Spark EPs in December 2020 and October 2021, a pair of Particles remixes for Chihaka and Gaston Ponte in 2021 and 2023 are now followed by a third as Petar Dundov remixes his fellow countryman. Taking on Into the Light, a trademark sound comes flooding through as cascading and grooved arpeggios build upon each other over a huge sub-bassline and immaculate club groove. Evolving easily, familiar melodic patterns from Verches original come to the fore, combined with gorgeous and shimmering keys. Waxing and waning a new synth lead arrives post-breakdown against the ordered chaos of the original. Another artist with strong production credentials, Dave Leck arrives on Particles once more after the success of a quartet of original EPs between 2019 and 2024. Thus Stardust, Primal Connection, Elevate and Opal have showcased the Australians talent in addition to his work for 3rd Avenue, Soundteller Records and a half-century of credits for Nick Lewis Emotional Content Recordings. Now reworking Sweet Desert, the Dave Leck remix builds upon the melodic phrasing found in Verches original and transforms it into a seething club-friendly powerhouse. A deeply resonant kick, ticking hats and cavernous bassline are juxtaposed against cascading arpeggios that pan the stereo spectrum at the beatless breakdown, before combining effortlessly with the metronomic rhythm in the second half to create a mesmerising and free-flowing interpretation.

Back for a fourth instalment of the highly successful series, Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 4 takes another deep exploration into the world of underground house. First landing on GMJ & Matters Beatport Top 10 Progressive House label in August 2021, successive compilations have seen the Meanwhile Excursions series become an annual showcase of some of the scenes most celebrated talents rubbing shoulders with the brightest new up-and-comers. The previous three incarnations have thus seen the likes of Forty Cats, amháin, Golan Zocher, Dimuth K and Zankee Gulati provide a plethora of modern progressive jewels that have sparkled each year. Now returning for its fourth edition, label co-founder GMJ returns to lead the charge with the rippling percussive backdrop and effortless groove of Tough Restraint while the hefty bassline power and ethereal melodic beauty of Astral Beats finds Analog Jungs at their very best. The beautifully free-flowing sounds of Not Demure make an effortless entrance via Trefua and label debutant, Sam Scheme, shows his class with work for the likes of Balkan Connection and Droid9, via the smoothly cadenced and innovative sonic textures of FEST. Another Argentinean to make an impressive label debut, Fran Garay, debuts with the haunting motifs and seismic energy of Power of Expression, before Hobin Rude continues his recent offensive on the progressive genre with the light, airy tones and sumptuous pads of Gloom Gospel. Mango Alley and Hoomidaas favourites, HAFT, provide a moment in bassline bounce and rich melodic counterpoint with Life in Motion while Meanwhile favourite, Simos Tagias, returns with another progressive masterclass as the rich bass cadence of Auburn bristles with dynamic intensity against a vibrato lead line. Returning with solo original music alongside his Meanwhile label partner, Matters Guru hits typically rarefied heights with metronomic precision. Cadenced melodies sit atop a powerful beat as they pitch into dynamic new variations through the second half before Canadian superstar, Dowden supplies a complex percussive gem and searing synth lead across all of Eternity. After the success of his Disurbia / Avalon / Crackdown EP earlier in the year, Tonaco hits impressive heights with Holosteric, where a clipped percussive top-line and running bassline intensity is interspersed with textured pad progressions. The final word is left to Mango Alley regular, Maze 28, as the Albanian thrills with the shimmering bell-synth patterns and scorching lead of Superbloom creating a rousing finale full of brio and dancefloor vibrancy. Back with a fourth trip across the continents, Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 4 is set fair for an exciting voyage across global dancefloors.

Clubsonica Records rounds out the summer season by welcoming Ruben Karapetyan back to the label for his debut EP. Born in Armenia but now calling Los Angeles home, Ruben Karapetyan has carved out a unique place in the electronic underground. His emotive synth leads and tough, dancefloor minded grooves have made for a resonant worldly sound that is all his own. Following a ten-year hiatus, Ruben made a triumphant return to electronic music in 2020 with a series of the releases via Mango Alley, Movement Recordings, The Soundgarden and Univack. On the strength of his fresh, progressive sound Ruben quickly earned praise from the genres trendsetters in Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while also becoming a regular in Beatports competitive sales charts. This resurgence also re-established Rubens DJ career, one which saw him share the stage with Sasha & Digweed, Sven Vath and Orbital as part of lineups at legendary events and club nights such as Electric Daisy Carnival, Together as One and AgeHa, amongst others. Moving forward Ruben has been a force on the circuit, delighting progressive music fans with his exquisite taste and impeccable programming skills, with recent stops in Amsterdam, Armenia, India, London, Mexico, Pakistan and more. Seemingly in constant motion, Rubens Clubsonica debut came in 2023 with a remix of Kamikaze by K Loveski and Geronimo Eguiguren, a project which would be followed by a contribution to the labels popular Sampler series later that same year. Now, following a series of projects for his RKP imprint, Ruben returns to Clubsonica for his first artist EP Neurotransmitter | Parisian Vibe, alongside remixes from Gai Barone and Molac. Beginning with the cosmic qualities of Neurotransmitter, Rubens craftsmanship reveals itself, as striking chord stabs, phasing sonics and percolating effects flicker atop punchy kick drums and chunky grooves. Its this astral collage which carves out a heady path into a brief but thought provoking break, one which proves to be tension filled. Ethereal phrasing and swirling noise drift amidst icy synth mutations and billowing sonics for a prophetic mood, eventually giving way to a charged finale thats nicely suited to the astute dancefloors out there. Meanwhile, the companion piece Parisian Vibe follows suit with a similarly tough and modern progressive approach. Rubens elusive production chops serve him well here as he crafts a seven-minute journey that is bursting with ultrasonic qualities and a keen sense of rhythm and groove. Flowing through wavy arps and retro acid lines, the first act evolves with a veterans savvy, eventually revealing an emotive break complete with a tasteful marriage of hopeful pads and haunting vocals, a poignant fusion of sound which is sure to leave long lasting memories on the dancefloor. Returning to the label for the lone interpretation of Neurotransmitter is Gai Barone. With an esteemed career stretching the better part of two decades, Gai Barone has become one of electronic musics most sought after artists. The renowned musician and Italian native has long been one of the industrys most fascinating producers. An unrivalled quest for the creation of something uniquely memorable and deeply moving has fuelled his sonic journey. As a true craftsman, it is this drive for excellence that makes each one of Gais studio creations met with much anticipation. Afterglow, Bedrock, Lost & Found, Renaissance and his own Patternized Recordings imprint have been landing spots for some of his most notable work, while progressive music trendsetters such as Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and more have been steadfast supporters along the way. In a year that has already seen Gai record chart topping remixes for Dreaming Awake, Golden Wings Music, RKP and Vapour Recordings, the talented Italian now returns to Clubsonica with an exhilarating take on Neurotransmitter. Taking a smooth progressive approach, Gai constructs a tight rhythmic core, complemented with punchy beats, reprocessed sonics and cascading arps. Its this colourful fusion of sound which ultimately makes for a version that is both melodic and club-effective; one that should crossover to a variety of dancefloors across the remainder of the summer season. The release concludes with Molac making his label debut with the lone interpretation of Parisian Vibe. Based in Ecuador, Molac has carved out a unique sonic identity in the world of electronic music and organic house, resulting in a string of uniquely crafted records that present a resonant worldly sound. His resume is highlighted by releases via All Day I Dream, Songuara, The Soundgarden, Watergate and more, while organic house trendsetters have been steadfast with support along the way. Now, fresh off a well-received debut on Renaissances long standing imprint, Molac adds Clubsonica to his resume with an inspired rendition of Parisian Vibe. Opting for a lighter, more celestial approach, Molacs colorful monochromes, hopeful atmospherics and effortless grooves make this ideal for the morning hours when emotions are at their most vulnerable, in turn adding another weapon to your arsenal.

Clubsonica Records rounds out the summer season by welcoming Ruben Karapetyan back to the label for his debut EP. Born in Armenia but now calling Los Angeles home, Ruben Karapetyan has carved out a unique place in the electronic underground. His emotive synth leads and tough, dancefloor minded grooves have made for a resonant worldly sound that is all his own. Following a ten-year hiatus, Ruben made a triumphant return to electronic music in 2020 with a series of the releases via Mango Alley, Movement Recordings, The Soundgarden and Univack. On the strength of his fresh, progressive sound Ruben quickly earned praise from the genres trendsetters in Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while also becoming a regular in Beatports competitive sales charts. This resurgence also re-established Rubens DJ career, one which saw him share the stage with Sasha & Digweed, Sven Vath and Orbital as part of lineups at legendary events and club nights such as Electric Daisy Carnival, Together as One and AgeHa, amongst others. Moving forward Ruben has been a force on the circuit, delighting progressive music fans with his exquisite taste and impeccable programming skills, with recent stops in Amsterdam, Armenia, India, London, Mexico, Pakistan and more. Seemingly in constant motion, Rubens Clubsonica debut came in 2023 with a remix of Kamikaze by K Loveski and Geronimo Eguiguren, a project which would be followed by a contribution to the labels popular Sampler series later that same year. Now, following a series of projects for his RKP imprint, Ruben returns to Clubsonica for his first artist EP Neurotransmitter | Parisian Vibe, alongside remixes from Gai Barone and Molac. Beginning with the cosmic qualities of Neurotransmitter, Rubens craftsmanship reveals itself, as striking chord stabs, phasing sonics and percolating effects flicker atop punchy kick drums and chunky grooves. Its this astral collage which carves out a heady path into a brief but thought provoking break, one which proves to be tension filled. Ethereal phrasing and swirling noise drift amidst icy synth mutations and billowing sonics for a prophetic mood, eventually giving way to a charged finale thats nicely suited to the astute dancefloors out there. Meanwhile, the companion piece Parisian Vibe follows suit with a similarly tough and modern progressive approach. Rubens elusive production chops serve him well here as he crafts a seven-minute journey that is bursting with ultrasonic qualities and a keen sense of rhythm and groove. Flowing through wavy arps and retro acid lines, the first act evolves with a veterans savvy, eventually revealing an emotive break complete with a tasteful marriage of hopeful pads and haunting vocals, a poignant fusion of sound which is sure to leave long lasting memories on the dancefloor. Returning to the label for the lone interpretation of Neurotransmitter is Gai Barone. With an esteemed career stretching the better part of two decades, Gai Barone has become one of electronic musics most sought after artists. The renowned musician and Italian native has long been one of the industrys most fascinating producers. An unrivalled quest for the creation of something uniquely memorable and deeply moving has fuelled his sonic journey. As a true craftsman, it is this drive for excellence that makes each one of Gais studio creations met with much anticipation. Afterglow, Bedrock, Lost & Found, Renaissance and his own Patternized Recordings imprint have been landing spots for some of his most notable work, while progressive music trendsetters such as Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and more have been steadfast supporters along the way. In a year that has already seen Gai record chart topping remixes for Dreaming Awake, Golden Wings Music, RKP and Vapour Recordings, the talented Italian now returns to Clubsonica with an exhilarating take on Neurotransmitter.

An artist with a growing Meanwhile history, Mike Rish returns to the label with a 3rd original EP, this time with the Akhnaton / Gröv / Cloudbreaker triple-tracker. A story that began in late-2021, Mike Rish and his Beyond EP ignited a spark that would go on to burn brightly amongst a galaxy of stars on GMJ & Matters flagship imprint. Already a regular on such celebrated labels as Kasey Taylors Vapour Recordings, Praveen Acharys Juicebox Music and Guy Js Lost & Found, the Australian artist has continued to see his distinctive and mature production sound much sought after. Now returning to Meanwhile for the first time since June 2023s GT / Shoreditch Funk / Reka, Akhnaton is inspired by the Amsterdam club of the same name and host of Meanwhiles debut label showcase at ADE 2023. Full of trademark character, the track is a pounding club floor-filler with white-noise back drop and chugging bassline intent. Full of mesmeric soundscapes, and cascading delays, the track builds in power as subtle melodies are introduced amongst the immaculately placed pauses that help ramp up the intensity. The result is a masterful affair. Continuing the hefty rhythmic narrative, familiar tropes percolate around Gröv like a fine wine. Under a huge, throbbing backdrop of seismic beat and cavernous bass pattern, spine-tingling melodies float across the mid-range before coming to the fore at the extended breakdown. Adding to the sonic collage with a hypnotising off-beat chord motif, the track then drops back into the familiar form of earlier phases as it draws to its conclusion. The final offering sees Cloudbreaker continue to push the sonic envelope with the immaculately crafted bassline extravaganza. Full of percussive intent with shaker-fuelled top-line, a richly syncopated melody captures dancefloor attention, held through a sustained bass phrase at the breakdown. Hitting its straps again in the third movement, the gargantuan groove and luscious melodic interplay break through in a stormfront of club vibrancy and brio. A force to be reckoned with via another EP chock-full of skill, technique and craftsmanship, Mike Rish excels once more via his Ahknaton / Gröv / Cloudbreaker EP.

Long-time Proton Music friends and guardians of the progressive house galaxy, GMJ & Matter have been at the forefront of underground dance music for over a decade. Now returning to the label with original music for the first time in over 5 years, the Australian duo deliver "Ascending Sun" with remixes from Greek and UK legends. Since May 2016's twin-track "Superposition" EP, GMJ & Matter have become favourites with the Proton Music faithful. Each responsible for a raft of original and remix productions, their joint collaborations have become a beacon for a modern progressive house sound that has seen the Melbourne-based duo play to sold-out gigs across their Australian homeland as well as Europe and beyond. No better is this success illustrated than a dazzling sell-out showcase of their Meanwhile label and brand at Amsterdam Dance Event 2023. Following on from 2017's "Osmosis" and 2018's "Interscope", GMJ & Matter now return with a track redolent in hallmark production traits as a thumping kick, smoothly cadenced shakers and cavernous bass create the perfect backdrop for a muted arpeggio to evolve hypnotically across "Ascending Sun". Gloriously textured pads and white-noise swirls add to the picture as infinite delays and long reverb tails deliver a sumptuous soundscape. New reverb-soaked melodic phrases appear at a spine-tingling beatless breakdown before the rhythmic and bassline groove drop back into the third movement with silky aplomb. Simos Tagias is another artist with a long Proton Music history after initial success on Particles dating back to 2014. Centred around 2017's "Airlock" and 2018's "Audacity" EPs, a host of remixes has seen the Greek star showcase a dynamic and powerful signature sound. Returning once more after a 2021 remix of GMJ solo work, "Rise Above", the Simos Tagias remix quickly develops the melodic themes present in "Ascending Sun" and develops them with typical flair. New production material courtesy of vocal-tinged pads and re-imagined melodic motifs flow from a backdrop of body-shaking groove that sees expertly programmed percussive and sub-bassline patterns. Hitting its stride post-breakdown, the Simos Tagias remix explodes into life in the second half with the familiar and mesmerising open-filtered arp so central to the original. The final artist is another iconic figure within the progressive house scene. Responsible for almost a century of breathtaking production credits dating back almost a decade, Orsen is a familiar name. Firmly ensconced in his adopted Austrian home, the UK-born artist has found himself a sought-after figure with his work for Sudbeat Music, Mango Alley and Cid Inc.'s Replug where he also acts as A&R chief. Dating back to early 2016, 7 remixes chart Orsen's Proton Music path as he returns after November 2023's interpretation of Dimuth K's "The Shaman". Full of dancefloor brio, a chest-thumping kick and shuffling hi-hat pattern lay the foundation for a huge running bassline to dominate the early exchanges before the superbly cadenced arp of the original emerges. Delicious new melodies play their part from with a new bassline variation adding hands-in-the-air emotion at the breakdown. A rousing crescendo sees the Orsen remix drop back into the familiar patterns of earlier phrasing in the second half and melodic touches create intrigue and demand listener attention. Creating an exquisite new offering, GMJ & Matter rise again to heat up dancefloors from east to west with their "Ascending Sun". Directed by Jay Epoch Mastered by Cid Inc.
