Where art and science meet.

Creativity leads to innovation and that is what Precursor is striving for. Connecting elements from Electronica and Techno, Dutch producer and composer Quirijn Verhoog delivers music that leans on the verge of two sonic universes. Verhoog has a unique take on music, taking inspiration from his laboratory research as well as his musical background dating back over 20 years. With an immaculate eye for detail, he builds up complex, yet eclectic tracks - https://soundcloud.com/precursornl.

Turning Stones (Mind Against Remix)

Rising deep from the ICONYC vaults, a new anthology of tracks blossoms forth into the light as we proudly unveil the first installment in our newly-minted series, 'Florilegia'. Comprised of 8 spellbinding creations, our first delivery of 'Florilegia' features the sounds of Momery, Anido, Bar.ba & hanami (IT), Way of Thinking, Naeiiv, Baardman, Crudito Sava, and Vaert.

Our journey inside Florilegia commences with Way of Thinking, featuring Sofia Lorena, for our first link-up in 'Get Out Of My Way'. With a no-nonsense attitude, our kick-off goes all out with a skitterish frame and eerie sonic swells as it creates unbridled mayhem with every passing bar, setting the mood for the rest of the compilation. In our second act, it's Momery's electric 'Who Are You', where a galloping bassline treads over darkness before a neon-laced chord sequence lights up our way as we descend deep into 'Florilegia'.  

For our third stop on the compilation, we uncover Anido's 'Elijah', which buries its way into our ears with its mechanical whirring and quirky synthetics as a hypnotic vocal works its magic between heavenly pads and acidic stabs. Following up, it's Baardman's 'Natura Ly', a showstopping piece where doppler-like synths swirl around us while dusty vocal chops infuse the cut with the right dosage of nostalgia.

Coming in hot on the halfway mark, we present Crudito Sava and the percussive masterpiece, 'Solskjaer'. A modern take on Afro-House, 'Solskjaer' has the sass to keep you going for ages with its compelling swing and a myriad of fucked-up effects. As we catch our last curve, we reveal Germany's Naeiiv and his 'Digital Human Scan'. Menacing, Naeiiv's latest creation is a stark piece that broadens the narrative of 'Florilegia' with its intermittent blips and tantalizing malfunctions.

For lucky number seven, we've got rising melodic talent Vaert with a perfect cut in 'What I Need'. Sophisticated through and through, Vaert's new track strolls with extreme cool as it gifts us with an exquisite blend of iridescent chords, dusky stabs, and irresistible vocal chops. Finally, on our last spot, we uncover Bar.ba & hanami's dreamy cut, 'Blossom'. An indispensable addition, the collaborative outing latches on to our hearts with its lo-sung bassline and airy ambiances that serve as a pedestal for rousing melodies to take their rightful place for a sublime send-off.

A quintessential compendium of modern club electronica, ICONYC's first installment of 'Florilegia' is a new north for the brand that places the bar higher than ever before with a gorgeous bouquet of sounds set to define the dancefloors for years to come.

Magical Rave September 2024

Live recording from my all-night-long set at Lofi Amsterdam, 7 hours of my originals and a few remixes on artists that inspired me along the journey. 



VNTM All Night Long At Mindscape, Lofi Amsterdam

Old Ceremony is a ravey track I made last year just before the summer, I wanted to include it in one of the projects I was working on and will come out this year in 2018 but finally I left it out. The feedback from friends was good so thought to start the year I´d give it away as a free download. I hope you enjoy it!

Mule Musiq 232 - Alex Niggemann - The Birds I

AEON label founder Alex Niggemann closes the year in style with the remarkable ​Electric Mariachi​. Unique remixes are delivered from cosmic disco inspired Rigopolar and Spanish talent Pional.
Electric Mariachi opens with vocoded robotic words, a heavy snare combines with electro zap before Alex introduces horn, adding a human element into an intergalactic journey bursting with energy and emotion. ​Pional is first up on remix duty with an acid interpretation, a loopy, hypnotic bassline wraps around the original melody and showcases his deeply compulsive electronics that can be found on the likes of Young Turks, Phonica Records and Permanent Vacation. Mexican-born, L.A. based, ​Rigopolar ​then turns his hand to two remixes. The stripped down remix is a colourful synth-wave piece where arpeggiating tones move like liquid over reverbed percussion. His second sees him up the ante, in a space influenced extended version that ebbs and flows throughout with his psychedelic glowing keys.
The word visionary is often overused in electronic music, but it’s the perfect description for Alex Niggemann. His ethos is to embrace the new and push the boundaries of the genre he loves so much. Since breaking through in 2006 with his remix of Booka Shade’s ​Darko,​ ​Alex Niggemann ​has continuously impressed with a slew of hits on seminal labels including Crosstown Rebels and Mule Musiq, as well as his own AEON imprint.
