igloo two's first release, [ep], remixed by some of the DC area's best djs and producers.

Releases March 10 2017

Echoes and imagery ooze from deep within the frozen fortress that is igloo two. Through this re-imagined menagerie of sample-based creatures, a new hybrid is born – part man, part beast, part machine. The trip hops from jangly soulful beats to blissful brainwave vibrations to the edges of insanity, but always lands safely on a dense bed of bouncing rhythm that defies even the stiffest neck to remain still. This is the kind of music that may feel strangely familiar, as if you once heard it in a dream or coming from a distant window as you walked down the street. An ethereal nostalgia combines with futuristic experimentation in this infinitely listenable, danceable or just chillable collection. The opening track, knife fork, interlaces a windy, watery world with tingly threads of virtual reality. The closing track, drive around, conjures images of the bright lights and daily drama of an insect metropolis. The rest of the ep spans all the space inbetween. Grab a handful of whatever sets your mind at ease and prepare to embark.

Featuring remixes by Astronaut Jones, retrospect lns, Honest Lee, FADE, Cubismo, Trev-ski, OZKER and Vincent Allen Rado

[ep] remixed

lazy daze - OZKER Remix

igloo two’s digital grit, pocket-based percussion, and enchanted melodic themes lead a curious listener to faraway sonic landscapes. Experimenting with live instruments, drum machines, synths, and effects, they plant each song within a modern feel of soul, video game, and espionage motifs. Collaborating together as composers, multi-instrumentalists, performers, producers, and sound engineers, igloo two have an ear to the future that only awakens from their respect of music past.
