► Release Info:

HAFT, the Iranian duo of Sam Nasehi and Amir Subb, are known for fusing hypnotic synths, deep- rooted pads, and intricate percussion into a sound that bridges traditional textures with modern progressive house. Their debut three-track EP on Balance Music delivers a journey filled with psychedelic undercurrents and shimmering atmospheres that is crafted equally for the dance floor and for deep listening.

The brooding ‘Driftor’ is designed to nudge any DJ set in the right direction. An off-beat bass drives the engine, allowing you to comfortably sit in the pocket of its inviting narrative. Steely drums and percussion form a cohesive frame, while a bag of tasteful effects, samples, and stabs fill the remaining spaces. Once the breakdown hits, in all its subtlety, you know you’re in the hands of professionals. This is essential prog, designed for any occasion.

There is an undercurrent of psychedelia running through ‘Myntal’, hypnotic and consuming. Low- end frequencies double as notes, merging with the bass to create a dizzying effect. Its main-room identity, however, is confirmed by drums that strut forward with propulsive energy. It all points towards a seductive breakdown, its layering teasing a drop that confirms it: this is designed for floors ready to ignite.

Filled with depth, ‘Prism’ shimmers and shakes as synths and stabs perpetually morph. The result is a continuous stream of sonic moments to lose yourself in. Thankfully, the dense bassline and drums bring you back from the edge of hypnosis, filling the space with an elastic energy as buoyant as a trampoline. Then comes the breakdown: bells dissolve into minor-key haze, half beautiful, half surreal: an inviting dream-logic that is hard to deny.

PREMIERE: Mattia Pompeo - Refraction [Atmosphere Records]

/ Get Sam Shure's EP '333' here: https://lnk.to/SamShure_333

Sam Shure needs no introduction. Emerging from a strange summer, '333' sees the German-born, Berlin-based musician step out from hibernation of sorts, to offer three fresh tracks and two remixes by Alex Medina as well as Murat Uncuoglu & Alican.

Artist: Sam Shure
Title: 333
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalog No.: SVT280
Release Date: 2020-09-25

1. Sam Shure - Fae
2. Sam Shure - Zion
3. Sam Shure - 333
4. Sam Shure - 333 (Alex Medina Remix)
5. Sam Shure - Fae (Murat Uncuoglu & Alican Remix)

Just as the number 3 represents confidence, creativity and inspiration, Sam Shure steps it up and takes it to the power of '333' with another all killer, no filler EP. We can’t wait to hear it, loud, on the dance floor. 
 
Taking minimal techno to the maximum, this album of moody, melodic tech-house has the signature depth and breadth of Sam’s soundscapes: turn this one all the way up.

Taking it dark and deep, 'Fae' bounces off the walls with its abrasive synths and chuggy basslines.

'Zion' is high energy, with a heavy metallic complexity and hallucinogenic ethnic-techno layers.

All good things are three: '333' brings sexy back triple-time in this spacey, synth-laden track which captures the light divine.
 
With a touch of far-flung exotica from his native Canary Islands, Alex Medina, who previously released on Innervisions and Transmoderna, adds a more upbeat tone to '333'. Taking the original track for a hot date on the dancefloor, expect heavy kicks and deep reverbs.

Remixed by the Turkish techno heavyweight duo Murat Uncuoglu and Alican Yuksel, as heard on Innervisions, Afterlife and Exit Strategy, 'Fae' thrashes like a slippery eel into an explosive breakdown while retaining the same full power, basement ready vibe as the original cut.

Sam Shure - Fae [Snippet]

Frank Sonic 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. Frank'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 fran&co & Aves Volare to bring us their take on Frank's 'Taron'. Frank 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. Frank 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 back Mad Hatter head honcho fran&co to ICONYC. fran&co who is known for his driving 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 label alumni Aves Volare, who brings a more driving melodic edge to 'Taron'. His 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 club 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, Frank Sonic's 'Taron' manages to deliver a message of sustained musical relevance in emphatic fashion to warm the soul. Not to be missed! 'Taron' sees a worldwide release on October 5th, 2020 via all well-known digital content providers. Not to be missed!

Release info:

Label: Truesounds Music
Catalog Number: TSM051

"This time we present a bit harder and darker EP, but we are still loyal to our sound policy in melodic house & techno. We are happy to release the super talented SPALAMP on Truesounds Music.

Their originals are more melodic techno, but high class productions and we are proud to have them.

The title track EXPLORE is a club banger peak time killer, outstanding track with an amazing vocal. We really miss the real club life with this one. We suppose that many DJs could play it.

The second track BEYOND has an opposite attitude. Dark, melancholic mental techno stuff. Amazing break, massive groove and a very simple, but professional melody as drive.

Big news: DANITO is on board with an excellent remix. He made a trippy deep melodic house tune for the title track Explore. It is also very unique in the genre.

The second remix is from NO DISTANCE, the guys made yet another amazing remix with their own signature melodic sound, wide synth riffs, deep basses and driving grooves.

Check out for yourself!"
