Intricate Records is ready to present the long-awaited sequel of the label’s signature compilations. The second issue of «Intricate Sessions» will be released in summer 2014. In accordance with the last year’s tradition, two permanent residents and label co-founders, PROFF and Vadim Soloviev are responsible for compiling and mixing of Volume Two. The main release will be introduced by two samplers. The first sampler will be put together by Vadim Soloviev. Three tracks from this sampler are already confirmed to appear on Vadim’s mix later on, these are «Make Me Believe» by Artego, «Shout!» by Sebastian Weikum and«Point Of View» by V I F.

The track with a screaming title «Shout!» by Sebastian Weikum immediately catches the eye. This original production depicts the vivid elements and signature sound on this Poland-based musician: general liveliness and contagion of the vocal samples. Another hero of the sampler is Artego — a musician, sound-producer and deejay from the city of Yekaterinburg with over ten years scene experience, participant of the project Dancekraft and former co-founder of the pop-band Fontano. His versatile experience can be traced also on his production «Make Me Believe» – it is quite easy-received, dancefloor-friendly and is heard in one breath. Finally, the third participant of the sampler 
— Konstantin Astafiev from Cherkassy, known on the scene under his creative alias V I F, expressed his own opinion with the help of his track «Point Of View». Holding a degree in sound engineering, he knows how to make music attractive for the listener. That is why his work corresponds with the general concept of the entire release very well: feel the beginning of a sunny and hot summer.

Intricate Records is ready to present the long-awaited sequel of the label’s signature compilations. The second issue of «Intricate Sessions» will be released in summer 2014. In accordance with the last year’s tradition, two permanent residents and label co-founders, PROFF and Vadim Soloviev are responsible for compiling and mixing of Volume Two. The main release will be introduced by two samplers. The second sampler will be put together by PROFF. Three tracks from this sampler are already confirmed to appear on Vladimir’s mix later on, these are: «Robots» by Envotion, «The Computer» by Feu d’Or and «Believe» by Local Heroes.

The Dutch trio Envotion continues spreading their extra-sensible electronic sound to the masses. This time the guys from Maastricht composed a track «Robots» and reminded us about the long forgotten subject of human communication with machines and the search for balance between technologies and emotions. Here and there you could trace the reminiscences of the classical «The Robots» by Kraftwerk, however, its content is much more major and cheerful compared to the creation of the German team. Another track in the sampler, also with a title that shows connection with high-tech solutions, was composed by the label’s good old friend, Feu d’Or — two years ago he joined the Intricate catalog with two hits, «Chasin Joe» and «Singapore». 

His latest production, «The Computer», in contrary, is heavyset and outsize, even clumsy, but at the same time not less attractive and melodic than the previous works by this musician. A totally new name for the label and its followers is Local Heroes – are three rugged fellows from Buffalo with very serious commitments to update their status of local scene heroes to the internationally acclaimed trio. One of the first steps in this direction is their original production «Believe», a lightsome track they submitted especially for the second «Intricate Sessions» compilation.

32 months, 70 releases, 100 artists. Intricate Records has a lot to be proud of and, at the same time, has a lot of new challenges ahead. As of nowadays the label is definitely the leading sounding board of progressive and melodic house on the territory of Russia and former Soviet Union. But not the ranks and chart positions or fame of individual artists build the success of Intricate Records – it’s the painstaking work, solidarity and talent of the label team that enhance reputation and reliable partner status. The label has become an unfailing spring of high-quality music.

Over a year ago the label released its debut signature compilation, «Intricate Sessions». It quickly became a must-have for both music fans and disc jockeys who filled their players and record boxes with numerous tracks from those two CDs. Today the label is glad to announce the long-awaited sequel. In order to keep up with the good tradition, the responsible people for the 2014 edition are once again the label co-founders, PROFF and Vadim Soloviev.

The key principle remained the same – both producers built up their mixes literary brick by brick selecting only yet unreleased works. The compilation reflects the current tastes and the vision of modern electronic dance music as part of Intricate Records’ entire musical philosophy. No surprise that once again there are two mixes that review the full spectrum of the label’s sound, including numerous productions by its co-founders, residents and regularly-featured industry heavyweights like Lost & Found leader Guy J from Israel, leading resident at Colorize and one of Poland’s dance music scene flagships Sebastian Weikum or impressively experienced Boom Jinx from Norway.

Vadim Soloviev is known for his magic mixing skills, his 2014 selection outspreads from classical progressive with a blend of deep house, electro house and other on-demand styles of today. The track «Beyond» by Pete K is likely inspired by the works of Eric Prydz while «Buggy Funk» by Cramp dumbfounds the listeners with unexpected broken beats. Next comes the hit-single «Shout!» by Sebastian Weikum and «Be Real» that was recorded by Vadim Soloviev together with the British vocalist Drew Darcy, followed by optimistic mainstream «Centimental Crying» by Deep Lark and Chelyabinsk-based singer Irina Makosh. As a dessert come two vocal productions touching to the roots of our being: «Loving Man» by the Dutch favourites Envotion and «Point Of View» by a representative of the Ukraine, V I F.

PROFF is more close-knit in his mix. The first half is built of potential hits like «Robots» by Envotion or enveiling and laid-back remix of Amor Entrave’s «Something Else» by Evgeny Svalov (4Mal) and lyrical, full of piano modulations «Symphony» by the tandem LTN & Ad Brown. Closer to the second part PROFF intentionally gears up and hardens the beat. Prominent producers come into the game – you will notice these are the ones who like to perform in different genres and prefer to create very dancefloor-friendly works. Take a note of D-Mad who combined trance and progressive in his newest track named after the great Russian poet Pushkin. It is hard to walk past the techno-influenced «Audio Pressure» by Cosmonaut, assertive and nerves-rattling with its rapping-tapping «Blue & White» by PROFF himself or also Vladimir’s «You Wanna» with those provoking samples from cartoons.
