With the remix edition of MUUI's 'Relevant Symmetry' we welcome back label favorites Mononoid and D-Nox in collaboration with Ed Steele to ICONYC. 

D-Nox & Ed Steele open proceedings with their rendition of 'Relevant Symmetry'. D-Nox who needs no introduction, has been gracing the top labels of the world with his work for years, with his partner in crime Beckers. For the remix of 'Relevant Symmetry' he teamed up with Ed Steele, who has seen a steady rise to the top with his outstanding productions. 

The duo created a rework full of tension from the word go, as the atmospheric vibe subtly keeps you moving with warm tinkling sounds, a smooth edge and some nicely effected sounding pieces. We basically have the formula for a bit of a monumental outing. The sparseness is the key here, as their restrained gem works its magic while it plays away, creating a warm glow, creating an air of sophistication. "Essential stuff!"

Next up we have a remix from label all-stars Mononoid, known for their polished driving sound, keep the ethereal theme of the original alive, as the pulsating bass powers along, before its drum fills and general warmth all combine to do the talking. Like something from yesteryear, yet sounding fresh – Their transcendent touch up adds controlled calmness, but increases the groove with stripped back and lucid elements at the same time, before the luscious pads grace the rework changing the vibe and creating a blanket of warmth that wraps around the effected groove.

With the remix edition of 'Relevant Symmetry' MUUI once again proves that the enigmatic producer knows no boundaries, as this beautiful melodic gem guides you to a full-on club laden, melodic hug of a release that will cause many smile induced moments and lift the gloomy mood that many of us are experiencing. Not to be missed!

Relevant Symmetry III

MUUI - Relevant Symmetry III (D - Nox & Ed Steele Remix) | ICONYC NYC011X

Blended by many years of club nights as a DJ and alternative late-night music listening at home, wasP (was Paul McCarthy / Mac) is an artistic expression which sets to capture an individualized style established by the deeper & more melancholic grooves of the electronic genre.

The first single “Laid Bare” was born out of desire to write a song which connected to a vulnerable state and is sung by his cousin, the inimitably talented Deaf Joe. Recorded during lockdown in a makeshift home studio, Deaf Joe’s atmospheric vocals provided extra significance to the lyrics whilst buttressing the gradual build of energy throughout the track.

wasP's beautiful debut single is accompanied by strong remixes courtesy of Deeparture and KAMADEV.

After remixing GMJ & Matter’s 'Lost on Origin' in late 2020, Imran Khan released a debut EP this past Feb on Australia's Meanwhile Recordings. Now, they welcome him back with two new remixes from Greek star Simos Tagias & Argentinian artist Juan Deminicis with today's featured premiere of Juan's remix of 'Horizonz'.

----------
A legendary figure in the underground house community, Juan Deminicis has consistently been at the cutting edge of the movement with a distinctive and innovative sound that has seen him grace such iconic imprints as Pablo Bolivar’s Seven Villas, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Guy J’s Lost & Found. Now making his Meanwhile debut, the Juan Deminicis remix of 'Horizonz' is a compelling rework that dazzles with trademark rhythmic flair and sumptuous melodic arrangement. Layers of sound cascade over each other in intelligent fashion as the cadence of the original is enhanced with a dynamic vibrancy from sparkling hi-hats. Sumptuous pads and reverb-coated synth lines ripple across proceedings with ease as the subtle motifs of Khan’s work are complemented further by Deminicis’ stunning artistry.

-------------
Imran Khan
Imran began his journey with electronic music in the 80s with a love of early hip-hop, scratching and the breakdancing scene. Roxanne Shante, Doug E Fresh, Mantronix and The Beastie Boys were big influences. 

The arrival of the late 90s saw him develop an addiction to vinyl and DJing, diving headlong into the music scene, absorbed by the hypnotic sounds of Sasha & Digweed, Danny Tenaglia and Paul Oakenfold amongst others. The turn of the millennium saw an interest develop in the production side of electronic music. Over the years he has slowly honed his craft, being drawn to the dark and deeper side of the genre. 

A wide spectrum of musical influences, from Film Scores to Metal, have helped develop his own musical identity. And now...with releases and remixes on top labels such as Proton, Particles and Meanwhile to name but a few, he has earned a new level of exposure that through pure passion and dedication he has worked long and hard to achieve.

Looking out over new 'Horizonz', Juan Deminicis and Simos Tagias create a bright new dawn for Imran Khan.

Release Info

-102C follows on from the release of Chapter One with a new single from label manager The Cobb. Firmly established in the worlds of progressive and organic house, the Russian artist has split time between -102C and Deepwibe Underground since first appearing a year ago. Now ten credits deep into his discography, The Cobb has earned support from electronic tastemakers Sasha, Solomun, Nick Warren and Guy J, while also being remixed by progressive music stars Dmitry Molosh, GMJ and Kamilo Sanclemente. As the year approaches it's fourth quarter The Cobb now returns to -102C with 'Veter', alongside a remix from Dmitry Molosh.

PREMIERE: The Cobb - Veter (Dmitry Molosh Remix) [-102°C]

'An artist with a growing and storied history with Particles, Li-Polymer returns with the twin-track "Magnolia". Remixes come from Australian and Brazilian talents.

Opening his Particles account with a remix of Matt Rowan in late 2014 and another for Lateral Cut Groove in early 2015, several original tracks featured on the seasonal Particles compilation series in 2015 and 2016 before "Crystal Serenity" saw the Portuguese artist release his debut solo EP in May 2017. A four-year hiatus followed before the Organic House gem that was "Jacaranda" hit the shelves in February 2021 with remixes from Hot TuneiK and LADS and Traumhouse. Now blossoming with "Magnolia", the title track is a glorious melange of reverberated and delayed percussive beats while a heavy beat anchors the mesmerising melodies that swirl across the sonic landscape. Over the 10-minute piece, textured pads and twinkling keys glisten and ambient effects provide a garden-like atmosphere as synthesised birds twitter on the breeze and off-beat chords provide subtle dancefloor character. Characterised by powerful rhythmic foundation, a strong bass groove keeps "Microclima" in check as rich aural textures and atmospheric effects continue the sonic narrative of the EP. Waxing and waning gently throughout, Li-Polymer's skill is to create a sonic odyssey full of Organic House magic.

A veteran of myriad production credits across a plethora of blue-chip imprints, GMJ's relationship with Proton continues to grow. A former regular on Particles, "Edge of Remembrance" and "Forgotten Wisdom" lit up the label in 2014 before 2016's "Intimation" and 2018's "Open Doors" continued a sparkling portfolio, the latter in collaboration with Tripswitch. Remixes of Kastis Torrau and Donatello, Oliver Lieb and James Monro have also followed as GMJ returns with a trademark remix of "Microclima". Taking the rhythmic cadence of the original and adding a delicious hi-hat swing, silky synths and smooth bass groove entwine effortlessly as elements from "Microclima" are fused with glorious new production material. Blossoming at the breakdown in emotive fashion, chords and synth phrasing are used to maximum effect before the deft new bassline creates a head-shaking second half.

A pair of original tracks plus remixes from GMJ and Edu Schwarz find Li-Polymer revelling in his "Microclima".'

Release info:
"Over the course of a year without nightclubs and festivals, Grammy award winning Sharam’s hit single P.A.T.T. (Party All the Time) has seen a revival across social media and the newly opened clubbing scene.
As a seminal house production, the vocals of “Party All The Time” have provided the perfect accompaniment and expression piece for the global clubbing community left frustrated as lockdowns prevailed. Now, years later after the initial release, 

Sharam offers up a darker, modernized take on the classic, bringing a punchier and festival focused revamp to the table.
“I kept getting messages on social media as well as from friends in the industry that DJs from all walks of the dance world are playing PATT again, at underground parties, beach parties, Tulum parties and so on... it got to a point that everyone said you should release the track again. I don’t typically like to go backwards with my records, as they were meant for a particular place and time, but times have changed because of all the global pandemic... so I said why not. I’m actually happier with this new mix than the original I did 15 years ago. I tried to give the track a funkier, house feel. Hope you all like it and lets not forget that we should never stop partying - all the time!""

Releasing their "Hagel" EP in May 2018, LADS created another magical milestone on Proton Music with a twin-track offering of the highest order. Now we return to the EP with a pair of new remixes from Dutch and UK artists.

Dutch duo, Huminal, have been a real tour de force since their introduction to the underground dance scene, courtesy of the "Prophecies" EP on FutureForm Music in early 2014. Long-time friend, Paul Deetman and Jelle Jansen had already been regulars across the clubs of their Amsterdam home with captivating sets for local promoters, Pleinvrees and NGHTDVSN. Moreover, their distinctive production sound has seen a raft of production material for the likes of Einmusika, Zerothree and Movement Recordings. Regulars on Particles and Proton Music with a combined quartet of original EPs, "Knocking on the Sky" and "We Dwell in the Past" have been notable highlights in the Proton catalogue with October 2018's "Macropsia" another jewel in their sizeable crown. 

Following on from a trio of remixes, the Huminal remix is redolent in duo's trademark rasping analogue bass sound. Built around an intelligent percussive groove that evolves enticingly, a bouncing bassline emerges in off-beat pattern that hints at the complexity to follow. Simultaneously, the motifs from the LADS original are heard, combined with Huminal's own stunning production material that reaches a glorious zenith at the breakdown before extending into the third movement. The result is a stunning achievement.

An artist who burst onto the underground dance scene in late 2016, Imran Khan has been a regular on Clinique Recordings with his "Distance Between Us" and "Time" EPs. Going on to find his music featured on the likes of Stellar Fountain, Astrowave and BQ Recordings, Khan's work for Particles saw the "Arrival" EP released in August 2018 following success of the title track on the "Winter Particles 2018" compilation. A pair of original tracks alongside remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat and Hot TuneiK showcased Khan's music.

Now debuting on Proton Music, the Imran Khan remix is a deep and sultry offering that revels in stripped back percussive cadence. A metronomic bass note finds its place in the creation of tight groove while melodic elements from the LADS original filter into aural range. Building cleverly throughout, a chorus of strings and sustained pads supply depth before a shimmering arpeggio opens up, taking its place in the post-breakdown sonic collage with glorious simplicity.

Remixes from Huminal and Imran Khan see LADS reign supreme in "Hagel".

Providing a late summer EP of the highest quality, GMJ and Matter once again showed their collaborative prowess. Through "Interscope" the duo created a stunning twin-track EP, now revitalised in 2019 with remixes from Argentinean and Moldovan talents.

An Argentinean artist with a rich musical provenance to his name, Nicolas Rada, has shone brightly within the underground dance fraternity. An accomplished pianist with an inherent understanding of musical composition, an impressive DJ career has risen in tandem with memorable production work including over a century of credits on the Balkan Connection family of labels. Moreover, it is with iconic DJ and celebrated producer, Nick Warren that the duo has found a strong collaborative relationship in 2018 with the standout "Land of Dreams" EP for Warren's The Soundgarden imprint a notable June highlight. Bookended by remixes of Eelke Kleijn for DAYS like NIGHTS and Mark Slee and Atish for Manjumasi, Rada's remix of Andre Sobota in December 2017 marked an impressive debut for Proton Music, now followed by a standout reworking of the Australian duo. Taking on "Interscope", the Nicolas Rada remix is redolent in a trademark rhythmic groove that drives the track forward with deep kick and intricate percussion. Using GMJ and Matter's original components to create an elegant framework, new melodic motifs make their presence felt as the track evolves. From the mid-point onwards, a chorus of additional production material sees counterpoint motifs play off each other in coruscating beauty to create a wonderful new interpretation.

The self-proclaimed 'double-headed dragon' sees Moldovan duo, Alex and Andrew take form as Lanvary. Both respected DJs and artists, the duo's diverse musical backgrounds have found them in much demand as they experiment with sonic ideas, "melting various ingredients in their musical kitchen". Making their 2010 debut for Underphunk Recordings, the duo has gone on to celebrate 150 production credits for some of the finest modern underground labels, including Stellar Fountain, Mistique Digital and Suffused Music. Regulars on Particles, a series of original EPs have continued to showcase the Lanvary sound as the twin-track "Micromegas" debut in 2015 was quickly followed by "Slingshot Ride" and "Penumbra" in 2016 and "Leviathan" in 2017. Graduating onto Proton Music, December 2017's "Venus" EP was a strong debut that went on to see reworkings from LADS and Soulwerk, while remixes of Matter and Hot TuneiK are now followed by a third in the shape of the Lanvary remix of "To The Stars". Creating a deep and subtle groove, Lanvary have fashioned a wonderful rhythmic foundation that bristles with percussive intent as a warm bassline supplies further substance. Simultaneously, a new melodic riff makes its presence felt in hypnotic beauty while a swathe of effects and innovative sound design give rise to the "Odd Galaxy" title. Using GMJ and Matter's components to inventive effect, the result is another impressive offering from the Lanvary production stable.

Remixes from Nicolas Rada and Lanvary have given GMJ and Matter's "Interscope" a vibrant new direction.

A long-time friend of Proton Music, Andre Sobota, continually impresses with a growing catalogue of original material. Returning to the label, he excels once again with his "Alter Ego".

Consistently at the cutting edge of underground dance music with an ability to cross-over into the mainstream without compromising his sound, Andre Sobota continues to shine. From an official remix of Coldplay and Rihanna's "Princess of China" for EMI to multiple appearances on BBC Radio 1, Sobota's ability to find the pulse of modern dance music is unerring. Moreover, the Brazilian's work for a host of high-calibre imprints has seen him recognised as a master of sound design and melodic phrasing. A regular on the likes of Anjunadeep, Toolroom and microCastle, a half-century of credits for the latter has seen the Andre Sobota's music create a unique following among peers and fans alike. A frequent contributor to Particles and Proton Music since a debut for the latter in November 2009, Sobota quickly found a place in the Proton hall of fame with his remarkable "One Day Out" EP a month later. A host of remixes followed from the likes of Shingo Nakamura, Cid Inc. and Kassey Voorn before a four-year hiatus saw him return with a sublime new interpretation of his debut EP under the cleverly titled "5 Years Outside". New tracks in "Signal", "Concluded" and "Fragments" shone brightly, before two further offerings in July 2017's "Unmute" and June 2018's "Robots", showcased a quartet of tracks reinvigorated further by remixes from Nicolas Rada, Silinder and GMJ and Matter.

Following a remix of Dutch artist, Deeparture, in November 2018, Andre Sobota now returns with the stunning three-track, "Alter Ego". The title track is immediately characterised by a trademark rhythmic framework that provides the perfect vehicle for a rich series of melodies to shimmer into sonic range backed by a gloriously deep and rasping bassline. Building with ease and full of dancefloor intensity, sustained chords and reverb-drenched effects create a mid-point pause before the chunky groove and melodic components pick up the pace in the second half.

"Dreamless" immediately appeals with rolling rhythmic structure and haunting vocal phrasing redolent in complex effects processing. A strong kick supplies dynamic energy as a plucked arpeggio in the breakdown opens up into a sparkling melodic jewel in the third movement. The result is a trademark track Andre Sobota gem.

Final track, "Left Behind", continues the dance floor theme with a pounding beat opening proceedings, before a richly textured and sustained chord heralds a shaker-driven percussive cadence and club-friendly bass groove. Continuing at unrelenting pace, a glistening chord progression comes to the fore as it pans across the stereo spectrum in modulated brilliance at the mid-point. Hitting its straps again in the second half, Sobota's skill is in full evidence as an expertly constructed track evolves from start to finish.

A new musical triptych finds Andre Sobota very much in the limelight with his new "Alter Ego".
