A deep-house suite dripping with soul, grit and groove, served with that unmistakable Reykjavik flair. Arsaell Thor Ingvason — better known as Intr0beatz — has been a cornerstone of Iceland’s underground since the late ’90s, first making waves as a hip-hop producer and turntablist with the group Forgotten Lores before shifting toward house music. Over the years, he has crafted a sound entirely his own: drums that bite, basslines that carve through the mix, raw soulful textures, and a sampling culture sharpened by decades of crate-digging. His weapons of choice — the SP-1200 and the MPC 2000XL — give his music that timeless punch, the dusty warmth and the swing that define his signature. A prolific producer, label owner (Cosmic Angles) he stands today as one of the most consistent and respected deep-house craftsmen of his generation, recently enriched by a Berlin chapter that deepened both his emotional palette and club sensibility.

Don’t Be Silly is a four-track EP merging chopped jazz and funk fragments with stripped-back house grooves, raw textures and Detroit-leaning influences. It’s the sweet spot where soul meets the dancefloor, where emotion meets the drum machine. “Move To Create” opens the record like a spark catching fire — chopped Rhodes flying like confetti over a groove that doesn’t even consider letting go; it’s the kind of track that whispers, “Don’t just dance. Build something.” “Biltong Bump” follows with a more introspective tone, a bassline moving like an underwater current while synths drift in and out, creating a melancholic tension — the soundtrack of walking home with thoughts louder than the streetlights. “It’s Regular” brings warmth back into the room, a smooth, punchy deep-house stroll where Intr0beatz’s own voice lands with casual charm, like an old friend telling you “Nothing special,” right before making you feel everything. The title track “Hold On” closes the EP with emotion and tension wrapped around a heavy, resonant groove — a reminder that seriousness is overrated, especially on a dancefloor, and that letting go is its own art form.

A refined yet raw EP, crafted by a producer who turns rhythm into storytelling — deep, warm and gritty, like a hug from a drum machine.
