MW065 - GMJ - Feel Inside
The second preview from @gmjmusic upcoming release at meanwhile HQ is the club fuelled groover “Feel Inside” 🎇
“The opener finds “Feel Inside” providing a magical rhythmic backdrop that bristles with vibrancy alongside a cavernous sub-bassline groove. Chock full of bubbling dancefloor dynamism, a metallically cadenced synth pattern filters in and out of prominence while a looped vocal phrase repeats over the rhythmic collage before revealing itself more fully at the breakdown. Building once more, the hefty beat drops back into the rolling percussive hi-hats and metallic synth phrase to create a storming club-friendly colossus.”

MW062 - Mike Rish - Gröv
The second preview from Mike Rish amazing new 3 tracker is the groovy masterpiece "Gröv"
"Continuing the hefty rhythmic narrative, familiar tropes percolate around “Gröv” like a fine wine. Under a huge, throbbing backdrop of seismic beat and cavernous bass pattern, spine-tingling melodies float across the mid-range before coming to the fore at the extended breakdown. Adding to the sonic collage with a hypnotising off-beat chord motif, the track then drops back into the familiar form of earlier phases as it draws to its conclusion." 🙌

MW061 - Mike Griego - Placebo
the final preview from Mike Griego amazing upcoming release is the beautiful masterpiece "Placebo" đź’Ž
"Opening proceedings, “Placebo” is characterised by heavy beat and a clicking, popping groove. Full of percussive energy, a smoothly bouncing bassline is then juxtaposed against a lead synth line full of melancholy and beauty. A syncopated motif then picks up the pace through to a beatless breakdown where new melodic elements come to the fore alongside pads and white-noise washes. These then play out in a magical second half reprising earlier melodic phrasing." ✨

MW061 - Mike Griego - Angel Stab
Next up on our latest release from Mike Griego the amazing deep sound of "Angel Stab" ✨
"Redolent in rhythmic brilliance, a gloriously dark and immaculately placed sub-bassline pattern emerges from “Angel Stab”. Waves of undulating pads wash over the 9-minute piece as it builds in intensity with multi-faceted layers of modulated sounds that twist and transform. At the mid-point, a shimmering melody makes its free-flowing entrance, drenched in reverb and delays that cascade into the breakdown as the rhythmic elements are gradually stripped away. Dropping back into its impressive rhythmic and bass groove in the third movement, the track extols the virtues of Griego’s production skills and dancefloor knowhow." 💎

The sublime rhythmic narrative is continued as a light percussive melody can be found over a huge glissando bass pattern while a tumbling synth sequence flows freely over the mid-range, full of stereo-panned delays that fill the breakdown with beauty and poise. Exploding into the second half, a pulsating bassline and rhythmic top-line drive the hypnotic melody forward, creating the perfect vehicle for the rich melodies to shine in a carefree and club-friendly sonic environment. 💎
