Released in July 2021, Juan Deminicis produced another slice of progressive heaven with his twin-track "Water". With a remix EP on Proton Music in the pipeline, Particles also creates its very own remix edition with reworkings from Polish and Argentinean artists.

Rafal Ligienza has been at the forefront of the progressive house scene for over a decade with his Rafa'EL moniker. Including occasional forays into deep house and melodic techno, the Polish artist has drawn praise through his monthly "Infusion" show on Proton Radio, while music signed to such esteemed imprints as Mango Alley, Univack and GMJ & Matter's Meanwhile Horizons, has seen Rafa'EL hit the heights with an assortment of production work. Centred around two original EPs, June 2018's "Twin Flames" and November 2019's "Floating Moments", showcased Rafa'El's unique and impressive sound for Particles, while remixes for Rauschhaus and Mariner + Domingo are now joined by a third.

Reworking the title track, the Rafa'EL remix of "Water" takes the striking percussive groove of the original and uses it as a foundation from which a flowing melodic piece forms pulsating waves of sound over its 7-minute timeframe. Subtle use of the Mila Belini's vocals drift in ethereal patterns across the mid-range as new synth lines from the Rafa'EL production studio work their magic across the breakdown and into the third movement. The result is a shimmering new version full of sonic colour.

A new artistic pairing from the foothills of the Sierra Chicas, Córdoba duo, Alto Astral have quickly established a reputation within the progressive house genre with their live performances and DJ sets. Making their debut on April 2021's Fabri Lopez compiled "Prod Community II" for Balkan Connection, June's "Time Shifter" EP showcased a pair of dynamic original tracks in collaboration with Andrés Moris.

Now making their Particles debut, the Alto Astral remix of "Rebellion" drives powerfully forwards with a strong rhythmic foundation and rolling percussive groove. Subtle vocal flourishes from the original make their presence felt in freeform patterns while new synth lines weave a new aural tapestry across the 8-minute remix. Adding white-noise effects, snare roll and chugging bass groove to the mix, the second half explodes into a wall of sound complete with new melodic sequencing.

Continuing to flow with a vibrant vitality, Juan Deminicis finds "Water" continuing to quench his thirst with remixes from Rafa'EL and Alto Astral.

Erased

Oovation has developed a universally loved unique style; a dynamic, groovy, deep and hypnotic fusion of genres that perfectly fits in any kind of club or open-air festival. Oovation's releases have always received high acclaim from the world leading lights of electronic music. For his return to ICONYC we're excited to welcome Jares & Anido to bring us their take on Oovation's 'Echoes'.

Oovation who knows a thing or two when it comes to mind blowing productions, delivers an irresistible track that kicks things off nicely with the melancholic vibes setting the tone. He roams effortlessly through progressive inspired melodies, while the sultry chords sit wonderfully on top of the driving percussive foundation. Oovation takes it up a notch by adding an extra layer of depth, whilst upping the flow with cleverly programmed drumming and his trademark FX elements, without destroying the essence of the main groove. His work deserves to be branded 'essential' in any sense of the word.

On remix duty we welcome Canadian Jares for his debut on the label. Jares who is known for his melodic and refined sound, keeps the ethereal theme of the original alive, as the pulsating bass powers along, before its drum fills and general drive all combine to do the talking. Like something from yesteryear yet sounding totally fresh - This massive touch up takes the energy quantities up a level and increases the drive with stripped back and lucid elements, before the energetic groove creates a blanket of warmth that will put a smile on your face.

The second remix comes courtesy of Italian duo Anido, who bring a deep melodic edge to 'Echoes'. Their rework creates a good feel vibe from the word go, as the atmospheric and driving vibe keeps you moving with warm tinkling sounds, a smooth edge and some nicely effected sounding pieces that continue building to culminate into this amazing groover. We basically have the formula for a bit of a monumental outing. The sparseness is the key here, as this restrained gem works its magic while it plays away, creating a stunning glow and an air of sophistication.

With the talent on offer, Oovation's 'Echoes' manages to deliver a message of sustained musical relevance in emphatic fashion to warm the soul. Not to be missed! 'Echoes' sees a worldwide release on March 1st, 2024 via all well-known digital content providers. Not to be missed!

Steve Lovesey is excited to announce the release of “Jellies and Cream”, which will be accessible worldwide beginning on June 13, 2023. This two-track single takes the listener on a journey of refined contentment.

"Jellies and Cream's" soul-stirring organic melodies reverberate in the listener's mind, luring them to the beat with a hypnotic groove crafted from arpeggios and leads that build upon the musical spectrum. Steve's inspiration for this song came from past experiences that taught him that even adversity can be used as an opportunity to adapt.

When listening to "Sericmo," the words "uplifting" and "atmospheric" come to mind. Incorporating emotive arpeggios and ethereal pads into a groove, this imprint will carry the listener away on a journey of pure, euphoric feeling.

Echoes (Extended)

We've assembled an all-star crew of artists to remix an incredible original by Active Child. Everyone truly brought their A-game, and the results speak for themselves. Many timeless dance floor moments are sure to come from this release. MDK is a new project by someone responsible for some of the most iconic tracks in the past 10 years. The man behind it is none other than Matthew Dekay (@MatthewDekay). Joining him is another legend, known for his emotional and unique approach, someone taking a no-compromise approach to production and sound quality, a man that needs no introduction - @Stimming.

As chance would have it, a couple more of our dear friends wanted to join this project, upon hearing about it, quickly turning it into a mini-album. @Dave-DK's Pacific Ride is a melodic journey, while his stripped down Topanga Dub goes into darker territory. This one will be right at home in the desert or a warehouse, just the way we like it. @Pablo-Bolivar rounds things out with a serious four to the floor jam, alongside a nostalgic ambient version that serves as a perfect closer to this remix EP.

Active Child - Johnny Belinda (Pablo Bolivar Celtic Soul Remake)

Accents EP is a homage to the uniqueness of every individual person. In Intro_p's opinion, the real value of a society lies in its diversity and authenticity. The real challenge is not just money and power but to listen to your inner voice and live accordingly.

Intro_p - Fireflies (Original Mix)

Born in Malága (Andalusia) in a family of musicians in 1977, music has shaped his life since he was a little child. From Kraftwerk, John Fox, Soft Machine, Klaus Schulze, Brian Eno, Steel Pulse, King Crimson to Depeche Mode, his early influences are diverse and have greatly enriched his understanding of music and life.
 
In 1995, at the age of 18, he began to finance his engineering studies with DJ Gigs. Money is not what moves him, but the passion and the interaction with people through music.
​
Even after working as mechatronics engineer for 14 years, his passion for music never died. In 2004 he founded the label Neovinyl together with the artist Baldo (Good Ratio Music, BLD Tape Recordings). Shortly afterwards he moved from his hometown Málaga (Spain) to Cologne (Germany). Since then he has founded several event series such as “Rampa Zampa” and “Forest Trump” (where he and other artists perform), the Coworking Space "OutofSpace Studios", dedicated to professionals from audio-visual & media, and his own Label "Introp Music".
​
Intro_p has been telling for years his own stories through his music productions and DJ-sets. He has continuosly developed his own concept of club music since the the middle 90´s.

Influenced by his life experiences, the purpose of his dj-sets and music productions is to bring people strengh with authenticity, all along following his instict to bring a balanced mixture of melancholy and joie de vivre.
