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

             Following on from the February 2022 remixes, Meanwhile now 
             returns to Alex O'Rion's EP as Echium Remixed, Pt. 2 continues 
             with another trio of outstanding interpretations.

             A legendary figure in the world of art, music and underground 
             dance, Roger Martinez has been a central figure with his 
             kaleidoscopic sound and spiritual influences. Music signed to 
             Lost and Found, Replug and his own Higher States have confirmed 
             this status while July 2020's Cosmic was a further notable 
             highlight on Meanwhile. Now returning to GMJ and Matter's 
             imprint, the Roger Martinez remix of The Chase is an uptempo 
             offering that draws on his musical influences with a powerful 
             beat and deep bass groove. Using pitched elements from Alex's 
             original, vocal cuts shift in stereo-panned glory and epic 
             white-noise risers and infinite delays create a dense swirling 
             atmosphere. Pausing at the breakdown to introduce additional 
             melodic elements, the track then drops back into its hypnotic 
             groove as new melodic motifs create the aptly titled 
             Interdimensional Remix.

             GMJ and Matter return to their flagship imprint with typical 
             flair and aplomb. Able to point to a rich catalogue of original 
             and remix work in both solo and collaborative guises throughout 
             Meanwhile's two-year reign at the top of the progressive house 
             charts, the Melbourne based duo provide a powerful and dynamic 
             rendition of the title track. GMJ and Matter have thus taken the 
             effects fuelled Echium and transformed it into a dark seething 
             progressive house monster that lurks beneath gently pulsing 
             waves. Serene in its build, delayed synth phrases cascade over 
             each other in endless delay while new melodies twinkle across 
             the mid-range in trademark-soaked reverb and elegantly 
             stratified sonic layers. Maintaining the aural themes sculpted 
             by Alex O'Rion in the original, GMJ and Matter have successfully 
             navigated a new and dynamic path through the beautiful Echium.

             Imran Khan has cemented a reputation as one of the progressive 
             house fraternity's leading lights. Almost a double century of 
             production credits has seen remix and original music land on the 
             likes of Mango Alley, Proton Music and Clinique, since a 2016 
             debut for the latter. Moreover, 2021's Push Thru / Horizonz and 
             Equinox have delighted the Meanwhile faithful. Returning for a 
             third remix, the Imran Khan reworking of The Serpent is a 
             typically deep and atmospheric affair with huge thumping beat 
             and cavernous bass groove dominating the low end. Capturing the 
             flowing melodic phrasing of the original, pitched synths and 
             pulsating white-noise risers create a thick soup of sound that 
             evolves in bubbling sonic patterns with their origins in Alex 
             O'Rion's impressive production technique. The resulting marriage 
             of two musical identities finds Imran Khan once again 
             illustrating his impressive production credentials through 
             trademark sound design.

             Another musical triptych pays tribute to the sonic diversity 
             found in Alex O'Rion's music as Roger Martinez, GMJ and Matter 
             and Imran Khan open up in full bloom through the towering Echium.
