#2 Feat. Banner in Progressive House

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.
