Blazing onto ICONYC for its 21st release, Swiss sonic alchemist Shiffer makes a striking debut with the magnetic All I've Been EP. Celebrated for his emotional finesse and innate ability to connect with unexplored corners, Shiffer's latest creation, including a lucious collaboration with Paul Brenning and capped off by Jonathan Kaspar's trademark rework, is a tantalizing suite designed to echo in our timeless halls.
 
The journey begins with Shiffer & Paul Brenning's opening manifesto, "All I've Been", a track that unfurls with both confidence and caution, as if self-aware from its very first beat. Mechanical whirs and fractured frames give way to low-end swells that drive forward with an unrelenting undertow. Brenning's unmistakable vocals start to break a warmer ground as they linger in the liminal space between today and tomorrow before slowly growing in gravitas. Suddenly, the piece begins to contort, drawing spellbinding figures as arresting arrangements and melodic flourishes allow for decompression. Imbued with a tantalizing breakdown that amplifies their exquisite use of negative space, "All I've Been" is a fascinating and intimate take that feels as expansive as it ever could.

ICONYC calls upon Cologne innovator Jonathan Kaspar, who delivers a singular reinterpretation of "All I've Been". Immersed in iridescent textures, Kaspar layers lush, swelling pads over pulsing low frequencies, their ebb and flow punctured by flashes of distortion that spark like electric currents.. Reflective and equally immersive, Jonathan Kaspar's take on "All I've Been" pushes the collaboration into a brash new terrain while retaining the spiritual ethos intact.
 
"Urban Legends", closes the release and takes a bolder stance. Anchored by heavy drum programming that carves its place with deliberate force, the track is haunted by ghostlike vocal fragments that lend an unsettling, cinematic edge.. Out from the left field, Shiffer deploys undulating synthetics that intertwine with consummate ease as they glide under the spotlight. An alluring act that treads unhurried and unconcerned, "Urban Legends" operates at its own pace, far from the demands of a world lost in the metropolitan hustle, allowing us to bask in a lore of things that might or might never have happened.

Brian Cid circles back to his heralded Endangered imprint to deliver his first solo release for the label in over 2 years.

Returning to his hypnotic & progressive roots, Brian Cid presents Observe / Immerse in the Sound; 2 powerful tracks each containing deep vocal messages and a striking display of his production mastery.  After years of playing these tracks out and receiving incredible crowd reactions, they’ve been meticulously refined & perfected, and are finally ready to be unleashed into the world.

Brian describes the concepts behind each track:

‘“Observe’ is a doorway to a higher dimension. Beyond a track, this is a guide into one of meditation’s most powerful questions: How do we enter the meditative state, and remain there?  With catchy chords, a steady groove and harmonies that speak to the heart, I crafted this piece to be open and inviting for anyone to step into this soundscape.

‘Immerse In The Sound’ invites you deeper into our Endangered universe. Layers of swirling synths, sweeping pads, a thick bass line and dreamy jazz-infused pianos & trumpets all create a space that pulls you in. My voice weaves through it all, offering clear instructions: let go, surrender and simply: Immerse In The Sound.

Both of these tracks have created epic moments on dance floors around the world, and now the Endangered family and I are very glad to share them with you.”

Brian Cid’s Observe / Immerse in the Sound is released October 3, 2025 on Endangered Records.
