                          [ ::.. RELEASE  NOTES ..:: ]
                          ............................

             Hitting the heights once more on their Meanwhile imprint, GMJ 
             and Matter turn to the iconic figure of Navar for the label's 
             38th release as he delivers his 3-track Return of the Sun.

             A dazzling career that spans over a decade and a double century 
             of releases, Navar has seen his music featured on the likes of 
             Guy J's Lost and Found, Cid Inc's Replug and Eelke Kleijn's 
             Outside The Box Music.

             Now returning to Meanwhile after his remix of Alex O'Rion's The 
             Chase in February 2022, the Return of the Sun title track is a 
             compelling blend of rhythmic dynamism and trademark melodic 
             prowess. Building over the course of its coruscating 9-minute 
             voyage, elegant and flowing melodies drift atop a deep kick and 
             shimmering hi-hats. Redolent in cascading delays, blissful 
             warmth radiates through the sonic layers that pause briefly for 
             breath at the two-thirds point, before picking up the pace in 
             the latter stages in a work where new motifs enter the aural 
             collage.

             Opening with atmospheric pads and rippling effects, Trips slowly 
             hits is stride with heavy beat and clicking percussive groove. A 
             subtle and intelligent offering, delicate melodies play across 
             the mid-range in syncopated delays while a seismic legato 
             bassline pitches its way in lockstep with the rhythmic 
             foundation. The result is a shimmering beauty that unexpectedly 
             draws to a dramatic and vibrant conclusion with a new 16th note 
             bassline groove in the final movement.

             The aptly titled Luminescence concludes the triptych with a huge 
             bassline groove and velvety synth line that scuds across the 
             sonic landscape in stereo-panned glory. Stratified layers of 
             sound make their play as twinkling keys and counterpoint motifs 
             rise and fall in a beautifully woven tapestry. The result is the 
             perfect juxtaposition of low-end vibrancy and majestic melodic 
             touch that is a hallmark of the Navar production sound.

             A renowned artist who has always shone brightly in the 
             electronic music firmament, Navar glows incandescent with Return 
             of the Sun.
