32 months, 70 releases, 100 artists. Intricate Records has a lot to be proud of and, at the same time, has a lot of new challenges ahead. As of nowadays the label is definitely the leading sounding board of progressive and melodic house on the territory of Russia and former Soviet Union. But not the ranks and chart positions or fame of individual artists build the success of Intricate Records – it’s the painstaking work, solidarity and talent of the label team that enhance reputation and reliable partner status. The label has become an unfailing spring of high-quality music.

Over a year ago the label released its debut signature compilation, «Intricate Sessions». It quickly became a must-have for both music fans and disc jockeys who filled their players and record boxes with numerous tracks from those two CDs. Today the label is glad to announce the long-awaited sequel. In order to keep up with the good tradition, the responsible people for the 2014 edition are once again the label co-founders, PROFF and Vadim Soloviev.

The key principle remained the same – both producers built up their mixes literary brick by brick selecting only yet unreleased works. The compilation reflects the current tastes and the vision of modern electronic dance music as part of Intricate Records’ entire musical philosophy. No surprise that once again there are two mixes that review the full spectrum of the label’s sound, including numerous productions by its co-founders, residents and regularly-featured industry heavyweights like Lost & Found leader Guy J from Israel, leading resident at Colorize and one of Poland’s dance music scene flagships Sebastian Weikum or impressively experienced Boom Jinx from Norway.

Vadim Soloviev is known for his magic mixing skills, his 2014 selection outspreads from classical progressive with a blend of deep house, electro house and other on-demand styles of today. The track «Beyond» by Pete K is likely inspired by the works of Eric Prydz while «Buggy Funk» by Cramp dumbfounds the listeners with unexpected broken beats. Next comes the hit-single «Shout!» by Sebastian Weikum and «Be Real» that was recorded by Vadim Soloviev together with the British vocalist Drew Darcy, followed by optimistic mainstream «Centimental Crying» by Deep Lark and Chelyabinsk-based singer Irina Makosh. As a dessert come two vocal productions touching to the roots of our being: «Loving Man» by the Dutch favourites Envotion and «Point Of View» by a representative of the Ukraine, V I F.

PROFF is more close-knit in his mix. The first half is built of potential hits like «Robots» by Envotion or enveiling and laid-back remix of Amor Entrave’s «Something Else» by Evgeny Svalov (4Mal) and lyrical, full of piano modulations «Symphony» by the tandem LTN & Ad Brown. Closer to the second part PROFF intentionally gears up and hardens the beat. Prominent producers come into the game – you will notice these are the ones who like to perform in different genres and prefer to create very dancefloor-friendly works. Take a note of D-Mad who combined trance and progressive in his newest track named after the great Russian poet Pushkin. It is hard to walk past the techno-influenced «Audio Pressure» by Cosmonaut, assertive and nerves-rattling with its rapping-tapping «Blue & White» by PROFF himself or also Vladimir’s «You Wanna» with those provoking samples from cartoons.

Ape In Space - Funk You(PROFF's Go Funk Yourself Radio Mix)

Featuring on Above Beyond's recent "Anjunabeats Volume 9", Jaytech's "Overdrive" is the latest effort from the prolific Australian and takes a more hypnotic route than normally associated with his sound. 

A glistening, groove-laden progressive builder that layers waves of melodic textures, "Overdrive" eventually arrives at a dramatic breakdown climax - teasing out the anticipation before a laser-lit drop. Already a firm favourite in the earlier half of Above Beyond's DJ sets, "Overdrive" is another sign of Jaytech's current creativity. 

Russian star PROFF adds one of his instantly recognisable, hip-wiggling 80s-indebted basslines to his bright, bubbly remix. Whilst retaining the original's melodic spirit, PROFF's remix captures a totally contrasting vibe - full of upbeat melodies and energetic groove. 

Overdrive (PROFF Remix)

Jaytech - Overdrive (PROFF Remix)

Intricate Records is proud to present a brand new collaboration single produced by PROFF and Louder Dale, entitled «Traverse». It will be released in late May – early June 2013, the single will contain only the original version and no remixes are scheduled yet.

The English title (if translated directly from Latin) means «diametrical» or «transversal», and according to the dictionary of marine terms, traverse stands for the direction which is perpendicular to the ship’s course or its centre diametral plane. A similar type of «intersection» or crossing, but in the musical meaning, is actually happening in this collaboration track. «Traverse» is swinging from one side to another all the time. At some point you start feeling the tension, which is periodically substantiated by the sounds similar to electric discharges and signals of a gaming console, but after literary one minute of time, everything flows to the melodism and slow calmness. «Traverse» was already extensively tested in nightclubs in April, especially at the party together with Ferry Corsten in Murmansk, where hundreds of clubbers were cheerfully applauding and exclaiming to the track. Besides that, «Traverse» will be featured on the label’s debut compilation «Intricate Sessions Volume 01 mixed by PROFF & Vadim Soloviev», which will see the light of day in May 2013.

While listening to «Traverse», you will notice it: «Two producers – two moods». And if it is quite fair to say that we know Vladimir’s musical preferences rather well (PROFF is one of Intricate Records’ co-founders), then Louder Dale’s personality deserves special attention this time. Louder Dale is the new alter ego of Alexey Nefedov, a project which successfully joined the global electronic dance music scene in autumn 2010. During previous career years, Alexey was a member of Rest Point project, which was one of Russian new school trance music leading artists. Nowadays Alexey accumulated all the best achievements and experience of Rest Point and focused on progressive instead of trance, his latest works have been released on prominent labels including Silk Music, Bomba Records and Arrival. His unique style is always recognized because of special rhythms of bass lines and percussions, which he has successfully incorporated into «Traverse». «Progressive gives much more space for the implementation of my creative ideas, – the musician from Orenburg explains. – This sphere does not have limitations, like trance does. Progressive has more priority set on music instead of rhythm, this genre is able to touch a much wider range of your emotions and force you to think, than a regular «epic trance journey».

Martin Garrix - Animals

It turned out to be Dutch prodigy Martin Garrix, which was officially announced by Billboard Magazine. The DJ support is overwhelming and we're sure this track will do ultimate dance floor damage. Just wait for that drop and prepare to jump!

Albina

PROFF - Albina

Hot on the heels of Part One of ‘Lonely Girl’, the latest outtake from ‘Sirens Of The Sea’ comes the second installment and two more top-drawer remixes to get spinning.

Laid back to the point of almost being horizontal but without losing any dancefloor sensibility, Vladimir ‘PROFF’ Ershov continues his excellent recent form and evokes the true spirit of the carefree summer track on an ice-chilled houser packed full of beach-inspired vibes and signature swirling breakdowns. And to round things off Finnish producer Ercola checks in for a more experimental and minimal rework centered around warm gliding synths and sparse atmospheres, just in time to give that copy of Part One the break it probably now deserves!

Oceanlab - Lonely Girl (PROFF Remix)

We’re almost into April but as things stand the Jaytech juggernaut shows no signs of coming to a halt anytime soon and quite frankly we’re delighted; ‘Delta’ is James ‘Jimbo’ Cayzer’s third single release of 2009.

Lifted from the Anjunadeep: 01 compilation, the Original Mix shows James drawing on his full range of skills as he pulls out of the hat a thoughtfully constructed, patiently building groover that’s full of twists and turns and punctuated intermittently with some resonating vocal cries and lingering piano keys that send it off in style.

Vladimir ‘PROFF’ Ershov then works his magic on the flipside to fashion a little something for the house room with an ice-cool, über-stylish reworking for late-night play. Keep an ear out as a monstrous, hulking beast of a bassline emerges out of nowhere to wreak havoc with the soundsystem before dropping back and resurfacing later on to anchor a typically classy, windswept breakdown as those gently echoing piano keys provide an introspective touch. All in all this release seems to suggest that the tunes will keep on coming thick and fast from both guys.
