iO first came to light on Diynamic. and have since released on Rejected, Noir Music, Area Remote and Leftroom. And have been playing literally the Globe over with a busy schedule.  

Give It A Try is next, and its a mysterious full sound, with an effected spoken male vocal that cascades

over the deep bassline led groove that drops with some jazzed up keys.

B1. iO (Mulen) - Give It A Try (Original Mix)

Following a string of differently brilliant EP projects, iO are finally releasing their debut album. The outlet for the album release is, a very well known to iO fans, label Mulen. Without any exaggeration Barefooter can be called a longplayer - album, as it consists of 14 tracks, 10 of which will be available in digital format and 4 only on vinyl.

It is difficult to judge whether the release will meet the audience expectations, at least because this kind of iO no-one has heard, yet. Whilst for many producers releasing a debut album is like summarising their sound by repackaging old tracks under a new cover, Barefooter - is an independent work, it is more like the beginning of a fresh chapter, rather than a retrospective of the past.

Leaving behind trendy peak-time sound, iO delves deep into the depths of house music and takes to it like duck to water. Firstly, jazz riffs and abundance of syncopation, draw attention to themselves and make the sound more "mature" and original. Samples, without which it is difficult to imagine iO are softer and deeper, rhythms are slowler. Thanks to the creative production techniques, percussion grooves organically develop into melodies, this will most certainly please real music lovers.

The album really deserves to be heard in full, there is practically no bulging "hits" or "filler" tracks. Barefooter - is a real story with it’s prelude, climax and epilogue. This release will be accompanied by an additional bonus remix EP from Mulen artists. Westboy, Tish & Federico Molinari, Deep Square, Kirik are all presenting their visions of IO tracks, mostly providing them with a solid dancefloor groove. This thought-through combination of efforts by talented musicians once again demonstrates the unique potential of Mulen label.

Snippet A2 - Boris Werner - Omar Coming

It is a well-known fact that the rings on some tropical trees can inform scientists about turning points in human history. And likewise, one can find and read the history of the Ukrainian electronic scene among the copies of records in the archives of the vinyl label Artreform. The needle drops, the record starts spinning, and as it revolves, one finds themselves moving on the legendary Heaven dancefloor, once described in Laurent Garnier’s Electroshock. Local crowd favorite DJ JOSS puts on his recently written killer acid track "Well Placed Trust," remixed by Israeli producer Chaim. The first record in the Artreform catalog is playing…

From one release to another, one can hear how tech house and house music have changed over the years. How club sensations of the 2010s went explosive (Boom Boom Room, L8 Park, Mantra); how Ostrov Festival was developing, and stars from Kyiv, Odesa, and Kharkiv established their presence on the musical map… To the present-day charity events at КУРЕНІ. Artreform music has always been played at those parties and within those walls.

Today, as they’re confidently approaching their landmark 50th vinyl release, label boss Jennie JOSS and his team are still full of desire to release and promote their favorite music. The label’s catalog already includes an all-star crew of local artists: IO, Harris, Outstrip, KiRiK, Raru, Silat Becksi, Alex Pervukhin, Rayo, Fedo, and JOSS’ self-produced releases. The internationals are as impressive as the local back catalog, including Robot Needs Oil, Frank Lorber, Christian Burkhardt, Daniel Stefanik, Djebali, Magnus Asberg, Priku, Mihai Popoviciu, Bushwacka!, Franco Cinelli, Tom Clark, Benno Blome. 

This roster is likely to be expanded with new intriguing names. Judging by how engaged the label is in defending the spirit of freedom in its homeland, Ukraine, there can be no doubt that the imprint is privy to some exceptional plans for the future.
