Ian O'Donovan is an Irish based producer whose music has featured on a wide range of labels ranging from Drumcode and Tronic to Planet E and Kevin Saunderson’s KMS.

Having already proved himself a rising star, Ian O'Donovan’s trademark sound combines uplifting melodies and tribal rhythms with timeless techno grooves.

This stunning three track release is Ian O'Donovan’s third release on Intec, and showcases why he is an artist popular with everyone from John Digweed to Dave Clarke.

The first track “Voodoo Doll” has a tribal groove provided by congas and a looped vocal chant. Building with tension as the bassline's held notation swells and grows ever more prominent, this powerful track packs a punch and fuses classic techno with contemporary sound design.

Track two titled “Hardline” is spacious with a haunting melody and shimmering, eerie pads that combined with muffled vocals, create a spooky atmosphere. Carried home by the hammer of the pounding kick drum, this dark track is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Finishing off the release is “Suspicion” which has an uplifting melody and pulsating stabs, that when blended with robotic synths, give the track a sci-fi feel. Snare rolls and dramatic vocals spoken in whisper add to the tracks already epic sound, and complete the melodic techno groove.

“We just want to put out reliable and solid releases in a cool, understated way. If a hit comes along, we’ll go with it but we’re not going to push it – it just needs to happen naturally.”
