Behind the Progressive House : Release Notes

An artist constantly at the vanguard of the Progressive House sound, Alex O’Rion returns to Meanwhile with another elite EP, this time with the magical “Hartseer / Flow”.nnHaving built a sizeable and dedicated following over a career spanning two decades, Alex O’Rion is no stranger to success. A globally touring DJ with gigs in South America, Australasia, Asia, North America and across Europe, Alex is as proficient at building memories from behind the decks as he is creating new sonic masterpieces from his Nijerk-based studio. Moreover, so in-demand is the Dutch master that he has sat firmly in the Beatport Top 10 Progressive House artist chart for 6 consecutive years with a raft of releases on the likes of Sudbeat Music, Anjunadeep, Lost and Found and his own Top 20 Progressive House label, Solis Records.nnA resident artist on GMJ & Matter’s flagship label, a trio of original EPs between 2021 and 2025 sit proudly within an extraordinary canon of production material that also includes remixes for Jiminy Hop and the Meanwhile label heads themselves. In addition, Alex has also seen his original compositions reworked by such legendary progressive figures as Simos Tagias, Sebastian Sellares, Navar and Roger Martinez.nnNow returning for a fourth original EP, “Hartseer” is a typically evocative track that builds on an intoxicatingly deep groove and thumping kick. A rolling sub-bassline creates body-shaking dancefloor energy before glacial synth lines flow majestically across an 8-minute timeframe. Evolving endlessly, glassy plucks and revolving arps percolate in an aural melting pot that generates listener interest and captivating atmospheres that only Alex is able to create. Blossoming into the latter stages with extended groove, copious effects and oscillating melodies, “Hartseer” deserves to be displayed in the Rijksmuseum as a sonic work of art.nnContinuing the deep rhythmic narrative, the aptly named, “Flow” is as mesmerising as it is evocative with its huge, sustained bassline sequence. Quickly hitting its stride, enthralling melodies augment the rhythmic foundation as they coruscate easily across the track’s duration. Pausing for breath at a dazzling breakdown of melodic interplay, the third movement explodes in a firework display of glittering fragments that extend the scope of earlier phrasing in an expansive call and answer pattern.nnA pair of new tracks sees Alex O’Rion at his poignant and melancholic best with “Hartseer / Flow”nnDirected by GMJ & MatternMastered by Cid Inc.nDesign by MatternText by James Warren
