Deep Progressive from three Australian-based alchemists…
Amhain is no stranger to the Balance roster. A student of deep, organic progressive, he walks a fine line between meditation and motion.
Joe Miller is the foil: a curious creative tinkerer, extracting maximum juice from every idea he touches.
On this EP, they combine their strengths to synthesise a dynamic release, complemented by a driving Jamie Stevens remix.
In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is the sacred ash world tree, connecting the nine realms. In the studios of Amhain and Joe Miller, that idea becomes sound: lush, euphoric deep progressive that moves with an unbroken current of cosmic energy.
An exquisite bassline, shaped by finger-picked notes, mirrors the hidden oscillations that thread through life itself, supported by mists of lustrous synths and bright plucks that gather into slowly shifting pools.
As the phrase goes, this is music for the mind, the body, and the soul.
No one does driving, percussive prog better than Jamie Stevens. His remix channels the original’s galactic charge into a gamma-ray burst of propulsion and pressure.
A hyperbolic funk bassline drives the engine, while the core motifs of Yggdrasil are stretched and re-energised, the mythic flow sharpened into something built for peak-time momentum rather than cosmic drift.
This is energy refined into pure alchemy.
Amhain’s Ambient Breaks mix lives up to its billing. Weaving the plucked string from the original, Amhain allows the melodic motif to breathe, stretching its emotional arc into a slow-moving, immersive space where atmosphere takes precedence over momentum.
Soft-pedalled breaks instil a sense of comfort that never tips into inertia.
Perfect for moments that call for blissful integration.
