Delving into an ever-growing archive of blue-chip releases, GMJ & Matter end the year with a compilation of the highest quality. "Meanwhile Impressions - 2023" is a new series that takes a retrospective look back at another year chock full of musical highs after another phenomenally successful year for the label. Combining original works from the likes of Simos Tagias, label head-honchos themselves and fellow countryman, Jamie Stevens, remixes come from industry icons such as Hernan Cattaneo & Marcelo Vasami, and Cid Inc. Adding further to the smooth sonic latticework, rising stars Mike Rish, Tantum and Ruben Karapetyan fit elegantly into the 12-track showcase that is the perfect snapshot of an exciting year before Meanwhile continues its assault on the progressive house scene throughout 2024.

Finishing 2023 on another stratospheric high, GMJ & Matter return to their ever-rising imprint with a twin-track EP of rare quality as they end the year with "Stellaris / Idtritah". Over a year that saw a collection of releases cement their reputation in the rarefied atmosphere of the Progressive House movement's leading lights, GMJ & Matter have seen music featured on Cid Inc.'s Replug, Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music and Alex O'Rion's newly minted Solis Records throughout 2023. Add to that a set of performances across their native Australia, Europe, and culminating in a spell-binding sold-out label showcase at Amsterdam's Akhnaton as ADE hit the city for the dance industry's annual shindig, and it's not difficult to understand why the Melbourne-based duo are such hot properties. As label bosses, the duo have overseen the meteoric rise of their Meanwhile imprint since its debut in early 2020. A regular fixture in the Beatport Progressive House Top 10 charts, Meanwhile has been the purveyor of outstanding underground dance music with a roster of artists including Jamie Stevens, Alex O'Rion and Simos Tagias. Now returning to their label with another pair of original offerings, "Stellaris" is a gorgeous free-flowing offering that immediately hits its stride with powerful beat, percussive intrigue and hallmark hi-hat urgency. Full of depth and delight, a sub-bassline hypnotises before an immaculately cadenced synth motif is woven into the rhythmic foundation with the precision of a master seamstress. A flowing and atmospheric new melody adds depth at the breakdown and continues into the head-shaking third movement accompanied by an array of white-noise risers. The result is another instant GMJ & Matter classic. Continuing the deep, driving narrative of its partner track, "Idtritah" mesmerises with an immaculately constructed groove of rolling top-line hats and percussion, while a staccato bassline adds further gravitas. A cascading combination of melodies trip across each other with ease as a warm blanket of melodic flow and smooth delays envelops the listener, culminating a beautifully textured and ethereal mid-point break. A new plucked phrasing enters the fray in the second half to magical effect with the addition of subtle vocal textures and exquisitely placed effects creating another superb track that sits perfectly within the GMJ & Matter canon. Ending the year as they began, GMJ & Matter shoot for the stars once more with "Stellaris / Idtritah". Directed by GMJ & Matter Mastered by Cid Inc. Design by Matter Text by James Warren
