#2 Feat. Banner in Progressive House

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.

#39 Feat. Banner in Progressive House

An artist who first came to prominence at the start of the decade, Covsky now returns to Meanwhile Horizons with the twin-track, "Zero Sum Game / Colour Theory" EP. Hailing from the cosmopolitan city of Sydney, Sam Cooke has excelled within the progressive and organic house genres with his work for Sound Avenue, MNL and Musique de Lune. Hitting Beatport's Organic House & Downtempo coveted number 1 spot with his 3-track "Space Walk" EP in September 2022, the rising Australian producer returns to Meanwhile Horizons, this time with a pair of progressive gems. "Zero Sum Game" immediately supplies a head-shaking groove with an immaculately cadenced hi-hat top line and beautifully sculpted bassline groove. Subtle melodic sequences effortlessly filter into sonic range as they delicately entwine, sitting perfectly within the rhythmic and bass arrangement. Evolving toward the mid-point, copious amounts of reverb and delay create a rising tension before an open filter releases back down into the superb groove of earlier phases. Partner track, "Colour Theory" continues the dynamic groove narrative with its complex percussive arrangement and dancefloor prowess. Evolving easily with its ever-increasing number of layered sounds, a delicate melodic flow is introduced courtesy of a buzzing sharp-edged synth line and glassy lead motif. Exquisitely conjuring synaesthesia in the listener's mind eye through the breakdown, the introduction of pulsating crystalline pads in the latter stages adds further to the sonic collage. A new aural diptych painted from a vivid palette sees Covsky provide another musical masterclass with his "Zero Sum Game / Colour Theory" EP. Directed by GMJ & Matter Mastered by Cid Inc.
