Monarke feat. Jessica Zese - Otherside (The Remixes) [XYZ033]
Release Date - 4.16.21
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/OthersideRemixes

As winter takes its last breath in Montreal, we revisit the latest Quebecois artist to grace XYZ - Monarke. The Edge of Reality EP launched earlier this year to a hearty reception, and we follow it up with a set of remixes brimming with innovative energy.

Jessica Zese’s vocal performance on Otherside forms the backbone of the project, offering the centerpiece that sews the thread between these four tracks. Her balance of emotive power and soft prose make for memorable dancefloor moments and crucial character for the remixing artists. 

Berlin’s Yannek Maunz leads the line, showcasing his knack for heady melodic techno cuts. A sturdy kick locks in the rolling groove from the get-go, harnessing lush builds for genuine dancefloor effect. The Kattermuke & Poesie regular has an ear for dark room arrangements, and his take on Otherside hits just right.

Satori (Original Mix) [feat. Abi Ferraresi]

'A supremely talented artist, Nōpi found himself drawing admiration from fans and peers alike with his "Parallel Words" EP. Originally released in August 2020, the Ukrainian artist now returns to Proton Music to continue the series with "Parallel Words, Vol. 2".

With trademark skill and musical craftsmanship, "Siba" flows effortlessly like the ever-increasing concentric circles caused by a pebble dropped in a still lake. A shimmering arpeggio and deep kick form the foundation for a splendid array of counterpoint melodic layers to entwine majestically over each other, reaching their zenith at the mid-point breakdown. A grooved bassline that makes its appearance in the early stages then hits its stride in the third movement, combining with Nōpi's impressive production work to club-friendly effect. "Internally Awakening" continues Nōpi's penchant for seismic kick and rolling percussive groove as an innovatively cadenced melodic sequence glitters like raindrops across the mid-range. A sustained bassline progression adds spine-tingling emotion as layers of sound build in intensity through cascading repetition and endless delays. The result is a stunningly original track full of poise and grace.'

Percussion has always played a vital role in establishing the label’s foundation of sound - nothing gets us grooving quite like drum-laden house music. TOR’s latest project, the Zaiana EP, showcases the exploits of this primordial desire. Darksidevinyl and Ucha come together to make their debut with the When We Dip label family. The two have established a sterling reputation for powerful afro-house, releasing on the likes of Connected Frontline, Deepalma, and Monaberry. 

Ode takes things into darker territory, offering melodic arrangements for late night affairs. Elongated strings set the stage, while synths ebb and flow throughout the early stages. Percussion, yet again, takes the lead are keeps the vibe alive from start to finish. A big culmination of energy concludes with a firm kick, and the bassline adds grit as the track progresses.

With the remix edition of MUUI's 'Relevant Symmetry' we welcome back label favorites Mononoid and D-Nox in collaboration with Ed Steele to ICONYC. 

D-Nox & Ed Steele open proceedings with their rendition of 'Relevant Symmetry'. D-Nox who needs no introduction, has been gracing the top labels of the world with his work for years, with his partner in crime Beckers. For the remix of 'Relevant Symmetry' he teamed up with Ed Steele, who has seen a steady rise to the top with his outstanding productions. 

The duo created a rework full of tension from the word go, as the atmospheric vibe subtly keeps you moving with warm tinkling sounds, a smooth edge and some nicely effected sounding pieces. We basically have the formula for a bit of a monumental outing. The sparseness is the key here, as their restrained gem works its magic while it plays away, creating a warm glow, creating an air of sophistication. "Essential stuff!"

Next up we have a remix from label all-stars Mononoid, known for their polished driving sound, keep the ethereal theme of the original alive, as the pulsating bass powers along, before its drum fills and general warmth all combine to do the talking. Like something from yesteryear, yet sounding fresh – Their transcendent touch up adds controlled calmness, but increases the groove with stripped back and lucid elements at the same time, before the luscious pads grace the rework changing the vibe and creating a blanket of warmth that wraps around the effected groove.

With the remix edition of 'Relevant Symmetry' MUUI once again proves that the enigmatic producer knows no boundaries, as this beautiful melodic gem guides you to a full-on club laden, melodic hug of a release that will cause many smile induced moments and lift the gloomy mood that many of us are experiencing. Not to be missed!

Relevant Symmetry III

MUUI - Relevant Symmetry III (D - Nox & Ed Steele Remix) | ICONYC NYC011X

Blended by many years of club nights as a DJ and alternative late-night music listening at home, wasP (was Paul McCarthy / Mac) is an artistic expression which sets to capture an individualized style established by the deeper & more melancholic grooves of the electronic genre.

The first single “Laid Bare” was born out of desire to write a song which connected to a vulnerable state and is sung by his cousin, the inimitably talented Deaf Joe. Recorded during lockdown in a makeshift home studio, Deaf Joe’s atmospheric vocals provided extra significance to the lyrics whilst buttressing the gradual build of energy throughout the track.

wasP's beautiful debut single is accompanied by strong remixes courtesy of Deeparture and KAMADEV.

Forerunners return to Sudbeat with his first full EP - Fear is the Mind Killer. 

Bursting onto the scene some 8 years ago, Arizona-based Brenden LaBonte (or Forerunners to his fans) has quickly progressed up the ladder with music signed to an impressive list of high profile labels including Perfecto, Pure Progressive, Anjunadeep and more. His signature slow build style is perfect for us, and we are excited to present these immersive and emotional tracks. 

Opening with a carnival of beats is 'Fear is the Mind Killer'. Melodic layers ebb and fade over the opening bars adding tension. Bass and spiky sonics in the midsection indicate a definite energy rise with the main break becoming an oasis from the chaos that powers from the drop in the final third. 'Distant Signal' with its Bladerunner-esque dystopian keys is a darker, more insistent partner. Elegant pads and choppy arps add interest to this heads-down stomper for just before dawn ushers in reality.

Available 29, April on https://soundcloud.com/quetamerecords featuring https://soundcloud.com/elmundomusicpage

Quetame Records (@quetamerecords) is a new deep and organic house label that’s headed up by a trio of artists including El Mundo (@elmundomusicpage & Zazou (@zazou-berlin) and Niki Sadeki (@nikisadeki)	
			
The debut release is a stunning four-track EP by El Mundo & Zazou whose eloquent style of soaring melodies fused with delicate percussion is on full display.			

Based in The Netherlands, El Mundo has performed as a DJ and live-act together with Zazou across The World and released music on labels such as Do Not Sit On The Furniture Recordings, Kindisch, Souq Records and Earthly Delights.

Zazou is a Berlin-based artist, multi-instrumentalist and regular collaborator with El Mundo, but he has also released solo tracks with imprints such as Laut und Luise and Rebellion der Traumer.

This truly is a magical EP with stunning vocals amidst its dazzling array of vibrant textures and nomadic grooves.				

“Sands of Time” opens the release with its soothing atmosphere and haunting vocals nestled amidst a dreamscape of ethereal synths which are underpinned by a throbbing bassline.		

Second on the EP with jovial melodies and digitised vocals, “Watch Me Burn” has a cosmic vibe that sets a trajectory towards the stars with its expansive sound design.

After a cinematic opening, “The River” is third on the release with its haunting vocals and poignant piano. Like a choir of angels, it's eloquently beautiful while also retaining an understated aesthetic.					
“Golden Skies” closes out the EP with fluttering synths and crisp percussive textures that combine to create a hypnotising groove with intimate emotion and majestic grace.
		
The artwork has been designed by the talented Anna Schnorf / Obic.
