BODIES REMIXES

04 IKONIKA - YOUR BODY (MIDNIGHT SNACC'S DARKSIDE RIDE)

Release Date: 24th June 2021
Label: Natural Frequency Records
Cat.no: NFR004
Format: Digital EP

“Make Time” is the second release from LDLDN (NTS Radio, Spacebass) on his Natural Frequency Records imprint, with remixes from Midnight Snacc (Don’t Be Afraid label head, Semtek & talented DJ/producer, Iona T), and Broke One (Radio Raheem, Italy).

The energetic, dancefloor focused 4-tracker is all about making time for the important stuff in life.

The EP opens with the title track “Make Time”, a classic house jam with snapping percussion and a swelling vocal lick, locked together by strong synth jams. A call to the dance.

“Refresh Rate” takes a different, more abstract direction. An elastic, growling bassline moves throughout, complimented by a shuffling, distorted drum groove that urges your head to bop.

The Midnight Snacc crew change the angles of the title track with their bottom-heavy “Make Time (Acid Dropp remix)”. Soaring strings & sparkling melodies elevate the mood, while the tight bassline and urgent drums make this genuine dancefloor material.

The EP is closed out by Italy’s Broke One, his remix of the title track capturing that 1990’s Reinforced Records essence. Heavy drums, euphoric synths & rugged acid basslines.

‘Make Time’ will be released on 24th June 2021 via Bandcamp and streaming platforms.

Don't Be Afraid with Vaquita - 13 May 2024

iona is a long-standing member of the FM fam. Last year she took over Sputnik on Saturday night and melted our tiny little minds. This is what she has to say about this mix:

"Sweat was raining from the ceiling, it was one in one out, everyone was dirty (in a sexy way). I’ve shared my favourite 45 mins of the set. Straight in, no kissing. Stompers and euphoria in abundance."

Charles Green B2B iona - 10 May 2025

Ahead of this weekend's party in collab with iona and her party Low End Dreams, we are sharing iona's set from Sputnik last year. She was in charge of Friday night in the dome and set the tone perfectly for the rest of the weekend: the perfect mix of heads down moments and a big fat sprinkling of fun. 

"Putting together a stage for Field Maneuvers was such an honour and I wanted to curate something that bridged the gap musically between rave and techno. I played after Jurango and before djrum; in somewhat classic style, my set was chunky and skippy for the most part with a breakbeat finale. I love the way tunes with lots space and dynamic range in them sound on the dome’s EvoX 4 point system, it’s such a buzz to play tunes you know you love, but then hear loads of new elements while you’re performing live - genuinely reacting with surprise and excitement along with the crowd."
