Holidays were invented to make people in your life happy and surprise them. Intricate Records label team follows this glorious tradition and prepares for all listeners a special music surprise. On an exceptional basis, we will be compiling and releasing an unusual collection, which will not fully coincide with the label’s signature sound, but will be a pleasant Christmas gift for everyone who likes deep house and deep progressive music. This compilation includes 8 exclusive tracks by 6 producers representing various countries from the entire globe.

The opening track of the Collection is a pleasant deep house track entitled “What You Gonna Say” with quite a brisk rhythm and magnetically attractive vocal parts. This one was produced by highly experienced Alexander B, his previous works have been released on different labels including Stellar Fountain, Society 3.0 Recordings and Dark Pleasure. His career in electronic dance music started in the year 2000 and some of Alexander’s works were praised by Richie Hawtin, Claude VonStroke, Steve Lawler and M.A.N.D.Y. Next one in the Collection is “Textures” by the Swedish producer Claes Rosen, also well known among the clubbers and dance music fans as “The Melody Man”. Beside the point, this alternative Claes’s name is not without a reason. Despite his courageous experiments with dubstep, Rosen is widely supported by the melomaniac community for his eclectic and atmospheric sound, which is present in “Textures” in full effect.

Right away two productions with geographical names -- “Baikal” and “Elbrus” -- were submitted to us by Sergey Vostrikov from Kirov. Sergey is better known for his musical activities under the alias DJ JunGO. All creative processes run by Sergey are concentrated around house music; his sound is as many-sided as his professional career. In these tracks, finalized specially for the Christmas Collection of Intricate Records, JunGO combined deep progressive with funk notes. Young and talented producer from Brazil, Matheus Teston also sent us two original works. Matheus is a real-deal musical polyglot, he studies classical music, jazz and audio production. This knowledge has definitely stamped on his creative works, especially the tracks called “Like a Child” and “Mix Falling Stars”, which stand out because of unique atmosphere, long-lasting breakdowns and nontrivial harmonies.

Another fundamental brick in the Collection is “Fusion”, a track by Canadian producer Lessov aka Kevin McInnis -- he dignified and refined a soft spacious melody with guitar fingerpicking similar to the style of Belorussian band DiDyLya and filled the track with a large amount of diverse sounds which show up in absolutely unexpected moments. “Fusion” quite corresponds with the recognizable style of Portrait Digital; Kevin is the founder of this record label. Finally, the closing track of this Christmas Collection is “Through the Galaxy”, written and produced by the side-project called “Victima”, run by Kiev-based musician SlaviX. “Cosmic downtempo” - this is how SlaviX describes his own sound; this definition is quite logical because you can easily trace some really extraterrestrial elements in it.

Lessov - Fusion

«Intricate Records is something tangible and emerging from our long-term friendship and creative relations. – It is hard to imagine that someone will make an objection regarding many associable details and ideas of our creative work. The most significant part is that our preferences and tastes intricately but harmoniously amplify each other in most cases. All of us feel it. That is why the creation of a record label is a logical step for our career».

A friendship is one thing, but continuous development is vitally important. This is why the fellows decided not to take a break at the level of current achievements and grounded their own record label. «By the times someone discovers the points of coincidence with the colleagues not only in terms of business, but also creative sphere – that is always a positive experience! – Unification of musical efforts in frames of one label is our next and by no means unimportant step in creative self-fulfillment».

It is important to mention that the quad is not going to limit the newborn imprint’s catalog only with own productions. Intricate Records is also a promising platform for implementation of creative aspiration of other talented producers who feel themselves on the same wave quite often.

«Right at the moment there is no single record label which coincides with my musical taste and general conception, which I would like to see being embodied. Starting a new imprint with the fellow guys, I’m looking forward to the having the possibility of fulfilling myself as an A&R-manager and making the current musical world at least a little bit better. We are going to collaborate with our friends and associates from around the world. I certainly believe, if such projects are held with well-intentioned mood and built on relations of friendship, there are certain chances to make something special and terminative».
