Returning to their April 2020 debut release, Meanwhile head honchos GMJ and Matter rediscover "Lost on Origin" through a trio of new remixes courtesy of Italian and UK artists.
Italian born but firmly ensconced in adopted Argentinean homeland, Andrea Cassino is an iconic figure in the underground dance movement with a glowing career that has seen over a century of credits in solo and collaborative guise for Proton Music, Lowbit and Balkan Connection. Making his Meanwhile debut, Andrea Cassino takes "Microclimate" on a typically impressive journey of driving mesmeric bass groove and syncopated percussion with its roots in the Australian duo's work. Making intelligent use of original components, melodies hypnotise and new production material from the Cassino arsenal drifts across proceedings and into an unencumbered breakdown. Dropping back into the extended groove in the second half after a ‘hands in the air' white-noise riser, the Italian has created another club floor-filler.
Continued critical acclaim has seen Imran Khan a consistently impressive artist over the past eighteen months. A rapidly growing portfolio has seen a host of original and remix material signed to the likes of Particles, Stellar Fountain and Proton Music, supported by Dmitry Molosh and Nick Muir among others. Another Meanwhile debutant, the first of two remixes sees Imran Khan's aptly titled "Sunset Mix" deliver a cone-melting bass groove that is the perfect stripped back version of the one created by GMJ and Matter in "Lost on Origin". A heavy beat and whip-cracking percussion add further weight as the multi-layered pads and rich melodic phrasing of the original seeps into Khan's rework. The second "4am Mix" provides a more uptempo vibe with its staccato bassline and head-shaking groove. Once again, the textured pads of the original arrive in vast swathes across the musical landscape as additional production via subtle melodic touches and stereo-panned effects invigorates "Lost on Origin".
Still as hypnotic as it is powerful, "Lost on Origin" continues to find purpose through standout remixes from Andrea Cassino and Imran Khan.
