erdi irmak

A modern music phenomenon with his distinctive sound and prolific output, Erdi Irmak has established an exciting platform for his music with the "Hidden Arcadia" series on Proton Music. Now in its fourth incarnation, "Vol. 4" resonates with the series debut as a clutch of new original tracks mark another milestone in the Turkish artist's portfolio.

Retaining a vision for the future with a combination of cross-cultural influences that permeate through his music in a blissful wave of synthetic and organic sounds, Erdi Irmak continues to operate at the cutting edge of underground dance music with his unique approach and distinctive sound. A regular on the likes of Movement Recordings, Where The Heart Is and Balkan Connection, the Istanbul native is quickly able to harness thoughts and ideas into a rapidly growing collection of original music. Thus, his "Hidden Arcadia" series on Proton Music has come a long way since its debut release in December 2012.

"Lost Youth" opens Vol. 4 with its hypnotic percussive framework and flowing melodic passages that meander across eight-minutes with consummate ease and lightness of touch. Waxing and waning as beats drop and reappear, the relaxed groove makes for a sublime opener. Continuing with style, "The Floating Bridge of Heaven" provides the opportunity for occasional vocal phrases to pepper the nine-minute piece with a dynamic narrative that carries the track. Coupled with a rich array of musical sequences, a central arpeggio sits proudly atop proceedings giving a strong mesmerising character that works well alongside the more freeform elements. A strong kick and trademark acoustic tom percussion find "The Moment" blending elegantly beside emotive piano chord progressions. With its soulful character and rich musical narrative, Irmak's inherent craftsmanship shines through with ease as counterpoint elements blend effortlessly to create a wonderful whole.

An underlying deep house vibe infuses "The Things That I See" with its heavy kick and traditional off-beat hi-hat pattern. Acoustic guitar ripples across proceedings in partnership with intricate piano phrases as the track picks up pace with its dynamic percussion and vocal flourishes add further intrigue in an imaginative piece. A gloriously layered percussive gem finds "Vent" delighting with its combination of grooved bassline elements, plucked guitar and shimmering arpeggio. A strong glissando lead and tremelo character and adds weight and interest as all elements come together in a groove-laden joyous whole in the third movement. "Wake Up Call" draws Vol. 4 to a conclusion with its smooth bassline sequence. Shuffling hats add subtle urgency while a vibrato monophonic lead and gated analogue pad supply glorious depth. Hitting the heights in the latter stages, the combination of melody, rhythm and bass fully showcases Erdi Irmak's extraordinary talent.

Six new tracks find Erdi Irmak very much at the fore with his "Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 4".

For its staggering 242nd release, BC2 is stranded in reverie once more! On January 28th, the standout Serbian sub label welcomes back Robin Thurston. Much like 2016’s “Everything in Perspective,” “Lost in the Moment” maintains the Londoner’s distinctive waning atmos and pointed nuances. Returning to BC2 for a third time, Erdi Irmak illuminates the title track's haze.  Unlike previous reworks of Blue Cell and Paul Hamilton, his latest remix calls upon last year's lush inspiration. Mirroring work for Magician On Duty, Where The Heart Is and The Soundgarden, he expertly melds warm melodic textures and dynamic progressive design.

Lost in the Moment

Premiere: Robin Thurston - Lost in the Moment (Erdi Irmak Remix) [BC2]

Blissful moments come and go, catch one while you can 

Cross-cultural sounds and influences are the calling cards of the Erdi Irmak portfolio. Born in the hubbub of cosmopolitan Istanbul, where Asia meets Europe across the vast Bosphorous River, Irmak's rise to the higher echelons of the musical elite is as rapid as it is impressive. Thoroughly immersed in the sounds of his Turkish homeland from an early age, a combination of "chilled out west and far east sounds" became the fundamental tenets of a musical ideology that has brought success across a wide spectrum of labels and genres. Proficient in deep, tech and progressive house, a further foray into electronica has seen the development of a prolific talent.

Dee Montero is no stranger to the dance music world. Cutting his teeth in Belfast, he became a resident at one of Ibiza's most popular haunts, Cafe Mambo. Today, with releases on labels form Anjunadeep to Lee Burridge's Tale & Tone, Montero is easily one of the scene's most reliable producers. On this debut outing for Dawn till Dusk, he doesn't disappoint, delivering two elegant productions that will elevate any DJ's music collection. 'Calypso' works in two ways: The drums and bass contain so much groove it's almost criminal, while the soaring strings and Caribbean keys make for an inspiring listen. On another plane, it is a soothing exercise that works it's magic subconsciously. With major keys and a sunny outlook 'Avalonia' sounds like it could've been inspired by the sunset views of Cafe Mambo. The drums feature a vintage progressive house rhythm, and the bass is deliciously lush. No doubt, a highly effective workout that will demand action on pretty much any dance floor. The 'Alternative mix' of 'Avalonia' features a funked up broken beat reminiscent of calypso drums mixed with a shade of 80's energy. Here the buoyant melody takes centre stage, working in tandem with an intermittent vocal sample that is impossible to ignore. This is the one you reach for to inject energy into your dancefloor.
