02. Monarke - Lost (Original Mix)

Heîk is the solo project of the Mexican, Hugo Ibarra, who is no stranger to the label. With previous releases under other aliases such as Natural Flow and  ostil, we now have the pleasure of releasing his debut EP on the label under his new moniker.

"Resilience" the opener track, is a beat-less intro, full of haunting melodies, pulsating synths and textures that play with each other building up a beautiful dark story. A perfect beginning to introduce us into the world of Heîk.

"Apeiron" takes us to the dance-floor mood. A great groove, percussion and synths start building tension throughout the track, leading us to the main melody, which is a super catchy synth pattern, accompanied by textures, pads and glitchy sounds.

On the remix duties, Gardens of God, who has also released on the label on Odd Echoes' V.A., reworks the track into a more energetic version, keeping the essence of the original, but adding a super catchy and fat synth, which takes us to another dimension.

To close the EP, He k presents another cut for the dance-floor, "Arcane", in which an ascending synth with an arpeggio style predominate through the whole track. Melodies, pads and bass stabs play all along as the track keeps developing.

"Halcyon" is the most emotional track of the EP, a perfect closure full of chords, textures and melancholic vibes, with subtle synths, that take you into the perfect trip.

Alexandros Djkevingr & Greg Ignatovich - Faniola (Original Mix)

'Italian producer Carlo Whale gets a confident control over the next release on Aesthetika called 'Folie'. We got three beautiful tracks to guide you through this time.

Main 'Folie' is promptly intriguing. It explores the best landscapes of melodies creating complete thought under the whole composition. 'Hysteric' is more 'floor' accented one. It's full of energy with the energetic synths envelopment and enigmatic vocals over the breakdown which could certainly please the ears and make a great reaction at the floor.

'Old Dreams' is calm, thoughtful and it perfectly summarizes the release. Enjoy!'

Carlo Whale - Folie EP [Aesthetika]

Premiere: Carlo Whale - Folie [Aesthetika]

The 31st release of the label comes out of the hands of the Greek Antimatter Particle (@antimatterparticle) and is called ‘Gloomy Winter’. The EP includes three minimalistic and dark melodic techno originals, with emphasis on techno. Besides, we are happy to announce Heîk (@heik_ofc) is contributing to this EP with an energetic and more melodic orientated remix.

The first track of the EP is also the title track, called ‘Gloomy Winter’. The icy and dark vibe, which is sensible throughout the full EP, immediately comes forward. With tight and minimalistic percussion elements Antimatter Particle is giving a rapid groove to the track. On top of this groove, lingered pads and atmospheric synths are laid down.  

‘Floating’ is the banging second track. The lower part is a bit heavier and is giving a lot of groove and body to the track. The cold synth work is a nice example of eccentric sound design. Combined with the mysterious background percussion, it results in a very compelling composition.

The third track of the EP is called ‘Tar’. In the track the compelling vibe evolves to captivation. Founded by an acidy lower part, the ethereal pads are taking you to another dimension, where they keep you until communicating synths are taking over in the breaks. Together those elements are setting a haunting mood. 

The final track is Heîk’s remix of ‘Tar’. He took the compelling parts and main melody of the original and built his own world around them. The remix has a lot of energy with an ongoing flow. On top of this flow, interesting sound designs are taking shape, providing unexpected moments. Sometimes it makes you think twice about what you are hearing. So, HeÎk closes the EP in a dynamic and powerful way.

PREMIERE: Tripolism - Aquila [Just This]

The first EP of 2022 comes from the new duo Ten Systems (@tensystems). The title track is called ‘Perfect Circle’ and is in collaboration with the great vocalist SANDHAUS (@sandhaus1). The originals are pretty diverse with one clear atmosphere throughout the tracks. Besides, we are very happy to announce that the very talented Dutch artist Hollt (@holltmusic) did an energetic remix of the title track. 

The first track of the EP is called ‘Time’. The calm and sophisticated atmosphere of the originals is immediately very present here. During the full track a spacious robotic synth is communicating between itself. At the end of the break the vibe gets cut by an unexpected piano after which the track goes through in an even more relaxed state. 

The title track ‘Perfect Circle’ also begins in this calm state, in which the offbeat kick gets directed by a friendly pad. Gradually these pads get accompanied by the lovely vocals of SANDHAUS. While the vocals are getting a slightly haunting lower layer, the pitched main lead gets more and more intense during the track. Towards the end the intensity suddenly stops and it goes back to the previous calm mood.

Hollt’s remix of ‘Perfect Circle’ directly starts off with a high energy level. Throughout the remix, the idea of the original gets persevered in a very powerful way. The bombastic drums are giving this extra energy and together with the repeating pitched main lead, the track turned into a real dancefloor banger. 

The final track of the EP called ‘Compass’ represents the darker part. It has some very tight drums and percussion, accompanied by spooky vocal one-shots. Together with the perpetual elements, the tension is kept very high. Every time this tension works towards a heavy and intriguing sawing synth. After the final hit of this synth a danceable clap comes in, creating an uplifting end to this great EP.

Our annual 'Reto' compilation returns with its fourth installment. 2021 has come and gone, and it's been another year of ups and downs, last-minute cancellations, beautiful glimmers of hope, and label firsts: our label showcases debuted across Europe, and we celebrated our first long-player release by a solo artist.
