Distant Bays EP shows Greg Ochman in focused Organic House form
Greg Ochman joins Melodic Therapy with the Distant Bays EP, a three-track release that aligns with the label’s focus on Organic and Progressive House. Out 24 October 2025, the EP follows recent chart entries on Closure and previous releases on Lost Miracle, Plattenbank, and Akbal. Support from DJs such as Sebastien Léger, Khen, Tim Green, Roy Rosenfeld, and Guy Mantzur has kept Ochman’s work in regular circulation, and this record continues that momentum with a tight production approach and clear arrangement choices.

Release overview
Distant Bays delivers three extended cuts built around layered percussion, evolving harmonic content, and steady low-end phrasing. The title track sets the tone with arpeggios that move in lockstep with rolling drums and wide pads. The mix places rhythmic detail at the front while leaving space for chords to build across phrases. The result is a track that works in warm-up and early peak hours, depending on placement in a set.
Uye shifts the emphasis to syncopation and drive. The pattern work in the drums pushes the groove forward while the bass holds a consistent center. Subtle automation and incremental additions carry the track without a single oversized breakdown. The arrangement rewards longer transitions and lends itself to sets that value progression through small changes.
Track highlights
Eclo introduces a firmer progressive edge. A firm bassline underpins crisp hats and a sequence that rises through measured filter moves. The breakdowns reduce to essential elements, then rebuild through clear, linear steps rather than sudden drops. This structure makes Eclo suitable for main-room use while maintaining the detailed sound design that characterizes Ochman’s catalogue.
Melodic Therapy continues to build a concise catalogue with the seventh release, aiming at DJs who need playable records with dependable mix architecture. Ochman’s profile fits that direction. His recent output centers on percussion clarity, midrange movement, and bass control that holds together on larger systems. The EP presents three tools that can slot into different points of a set without stylistic detours.
