32 months, 70 releases, 100 artists. Intricate Records has a lot to be proud of and, at the same time, has a lot of new challenges ahead. As of nowadays the label is definitely the leading sounding board of progressive and melodic house on the territory of Russia and former Soviet Union. But not the ranks and chart positions or fame of individual artists build the success of Intricate Records – it’s the painstaking work, solidarity and talent of the label team that enhance reputation and reliable partner status. The label has become an unfailing spring of high-quality music.

Over a year ago the label released its debut signature compilation, «Intricate Sessions». It quickly became a must-have for both music fans and disc jockeys who filled their players and record boxes with numerous tracks from those two CDs. Today the label is glad to announce the long-awaited sequel. In order to keep up with the good tradition, the responsible people for the 2014 edition are once again the label co-founders, PROFF and Vadim Soloviev.

The key principle remained the same – both producers built up their mixes literary brick by brick selecting only yet unreleased works. The compilation reflects the current tastes and the vision of modern electronic dance music as part of Intricate Records’ entire musical philosophy. No surprise that once again there are two mixes that review the full spectrum of the label’s sound, including numerous productions by its co-founders, residents and regularly-featured industry heavyweights like Lost & Found leader Guy J from Israel, leading resident at Colorize and one of Poland’s dance music scene flagships Sebastian Weikum or impressively experienced Boom Jinx from Norway.

Vadim Soloviev is known for his magic mixing skills, his 2014 selection outspreads from classical progressive with a blend of deep house, electro house and other on-demand styles of today. The track «Beyond» by Pete K is likely inspired by the works of Eric Prydz while «Buggy Funk» by Cramp dumbfounds the listeners with unexpected broken beats. Next comes the hit-single «Shout!» by Sebastian Weikum and «Be Real» that was recorded by Vadim Soloviev together with the British vocalist Drew Darcy, followed by optimistic mainstream «Centimental Crying» by Deep Lark and Chelyabinsk-based singer Irina Makosh. As a dessert come two vocal productions touching to the roots of our being: «Loving Man» by the Dutch favourites Envotion and «Point Of View» by a representative of the Ukraine, V I F.

PROFF is more close-knit in his mix. The first half is built of potential hits like «Robots» by Envotion or enveiling and laid-back remix of Amor Entrave’s «Something Else» by Evgeny Svalov (4Mal) and lyrical, full of piano modulations «Symphony» by the tandem LTN & Ad Brown. Closer to the second part PROFF intentionally gears up and hardens the beat. Prominent producers come into the game – you will notice these are the ones who like to perform in different genres and prefer to create very dancefloor-friendly works. Take a note of D-Mad who combined trance and progressive in his newest track named after the great Russian poet Pushkin. It is hard to walk past the techno-influenced «Audio Pressure» by Cosmonaut, assertive and nerves-rattling with its rapping-tapping «Blue & White» by PROFF himself or also Vladimir’s «You Wanna» with those provoking samples from cartoons.

Sebastian Weikum - Shout! [Intricate Sessions Vol. 2]

«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».
