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

Returning for its eighth outing, Meanwhile co-owner, Matter, 
makes his solo debut for the label via the unique musical 
triptych of Amanita.

From his Melbourne home, Matty Doyle has generated a tsunami of 
success through his Matter production moniker. Able to point to 
a release portfolio with over 400 production credits to his 
name, such esteemed imprints as Balance, Anjunadeep, BeatFreak 
Recordings and Proton Music have all played host to his much 
sought-after music.

Now creating a new narrative for his unrivalled talents within 
his co-owned Meanwhile label alongside fellow countryman, GMJ, 
Amanita is redolent in trademark production features that have 
seen Matter in such high demand. A smooth blend of rolling 
percussive groove, heavy beat and cavernous bassline propel the 
track forward with unrelenting pace as a filtered arpeggio adds 
to the aural melange. A glorious synth lead enters the fray at 
the mid-point breakdown before a rousing wall of sound marks a 
club-friendly zenith before the track builds once more with its 
star-studded cast of musical characters.

The heavy beat and wite-noise washes of Hikikomori provide a 
weighty anchor, allowing an immaculately programmed bassline 
groove to weave its path between four-to-the-floor rhythm and 
offbeat hi-hat shuffle. A heavily delayed synth line adds a 
touch of class as it ripples across the seven-minute piece with 
ease, providing subtle introspection and emotive layers in 
abundance. The result is a head-shaking groover that is sure to 
the take dancefloors by storm into 2021.

A pulsating, running bassline immediately characterises Wormhole 
as it dynamically develops courtesy of an intelligently placed 
melodic variation that provokes a spine-tingling emotion in the 
listener. An array of percussive shakers and chest-thumping kick 
create a spellbinding sonic palette, while a free-flowing synth 
line drenched in reverb and delay adds to the emotion playing 
off the filtered and now staccato bassline phrase. Creating a 
flawlessly executed progressive house anthem, Matter has once 
again demonstrated why his production work draws such high 
praise from fans and peers alike.

A career that continues to mushroom at impressive pace, Amanita 
exhibits all the qualities that finds Matter very much flavour 
of month.
