                          ............................

             Ending the year in style, Meanwhile celebrates its 39th release 
             with label head-honchos, GMJ and Matter showcasing a 3-track 
             epic in EXT 135 / Elemental / Time to Space.

             Artists who have risen rapidly to secure permanent seats at 
             underground dance's top table, GMJ and Matter excel within the 
             DJ and production arenas. Responsible for some of the most 
             intelligent and atmospheric progressive house music the industry 
             has seen and an ironclad provenance behind them, the Melbourne 
             based duo have been leading lights in their hometown and beyond 
             for more than 15 years. Hugely respected artists in their own 
             rights with over 500 individual production credits each, a 
             century has come within their collaborative partnership.

             As such, original gems have included several original EPs for 
             Proton Music, with additional work finding its way onto the 
             likes of Anjunadeep, onedotsixtwo and Balance Music. However, it 
             is on Meanwhile where the Australian duo have joined forces with 
             such style and grace. From 2020's Lost on Origin, Gauntlet and 
             Eldarin to 2021's The Path /Perfect Storm, plus remixes for Alex 
             O'Rion, Rich Curtis and Roger Martinez, GMJ and Matter have been 
             at the vanguard of modern progressive house as they now return 
             for another stellar outing.

             EXT 135 is a fizzing powerhouse of hi-hat percussion and 
             white-noise fills as immaculately filtered melodies emerge from 
             the rhythmic melange alongside a chorus of expertly woven pads. 
             A gentle vocal cut adds a melancholy vibe as the track pauses 
             for breath at the breakdown before blossoming once more into the 
             second half with ease and trademark aplomb.

             Continuing the rich rhythmic foundation of its predecessor, 
             Elemental develops a stunning rolling cadence and swung 
             percussion that provides the perfect platform for a warm blanket 
             of textured pads and pulsating melodies to emerge. Redolent in 
             delays and effects, a reverse-reverb vocal chant creates tension 
             and variation while a simple motif holds fort in the background, 
             helping rhythm and melody gel across the track's duration.

             The final track sees Time To Space propelled forwards with 
             cavernous bass groove, ticking percussion and laser beam 
             effects. Evolving elegantly, a sustained pad creates an 
             Underworld-esque backdrop from which a chunky synth motif 
             filters into sonic range before being juxtaposed by a glassy 
             counterpoint phrase. Building through the breakdown, the tracks 
             hits its stride once more in the latter stages with an expansive 
             soundstage and metronomic groove.

             Illustrating unrivalled talent and craftsmanship, GMJ and Matter 
             once again conquer the progressive house landscape with EXT135 / 
             Elemental / Time To Space.
