hard driving beat. tight production. sooo money.

Melbourne-born prodigy Josh Richards, at just 23, is already making waves with his unique sound influenced by Berlin techno pioneers. Specialising in Melodic House & Techno, Richards infuses his music with a raw tribal groove, blending sawing synth sounds, impactful bass stabs, and ethereal background vocals. In his latest release, ‘Metal,’ Richards showcases his peak-time throbber with a dark slant and melodics. This remix by Stan Kolev adds another layer of depth, offering a hypnotic and dramatic reworking with a spaciously warm, melancholic vibe that enhances the sonic journey.

Josh Richards - Metal - (Stan Kolev Remix)

To close out another successful year, ICONYC bring us the 2nd remix reissue of 'London' from label boss John Johnson. The seminal track was released on the famed English Ministry of Sound imprint 'IDJ 'and gained huge popularity after receiving heavy play from both Sasha and John Digweed. It continued the wave of success for the New York based producer and remains a standout piece on his meticulous discography. Regarded as one of the defining tracks in the progressive house golden era it's irresistible hooks have stood the test of time remarkably well. For the second remix edition and to celebrate nearly 25 years since its original release, ICONYC have called upon James Harcourt, Torsten Fassbender & Darbinyan to update the track.

The first interpretation of 'London' is provided by James Harcourt who returns to ICONYC in style. The English born producer really does not need any introduction. James who has been the benchmark and stand out reference for with meticulous productions for many a year. Mr. Harcourt delivers a compelling interpretation of 'London'. Low slung bass stabs, vibrant percussion and spacey electronics, all wrapped together with the distinctive rhythms from the original make for a deep and engaging first act. Suave synths and distinct drum fills further the tracks sonic scope before it begins to strip down into the main break. The suspense filled interlude is fueled with those unmistakable rhythms before a series of beats lets the synth loose once more for the ultimate finale. Another classy interpretation from James Harcourt.

The second interpretation of 'London' is provided by Torsten Fassbender. The Berlin based producer has achieved an amazing level of critical and commercial success in recent times. As one of his country's most talented music producers he has proven his skill in professional sound design and contemporary electronic music. His unique fusion of techno beats and progressive minded sensibilities continues to be one of the underground's freshest sounds. Beginning with a fluid yet bouncy revamp of the groove, the German producers' distinctive sonic hallmarks begin to work their way into the mix. Momentous rhythms along with complementary tones lift the vibe higher as the track reaches the main break. The interlude showcases a storyboard of rising modulation and atmospheric pressures which build to a tasteful apex before the unmistakable groove returns for a great moment. A sensational remix from Torsten Fassbender which will stand the test of time.

Armenia sensation Darbinyan closes out the release in style with two outstanding renditions of 'London'. In recent years Darbinyan has been famed for his revisions and he's worked that magic once again for two compelling interpretations of 'London'. On a foundation of freeform bass swells comes arpeggiated clusters and processed string assembles. Warm and rushy at points yet delicate and impassioned at others, the first act proves to be the prefect prelude to a dramatic break before concluding with a strong finale. The second version is a sensational laidback edit, that factors in the low end, as well as the monumental groove. The remix is playing nicely off the chilled rhythmic qualities and dulcet hooks which drift in and out of the framework. The smooth beats and the laidback tonal theme rise, while peaking with a wave of calmness of beats and the deep bass. Two striking creations from Darbinyan, who delivers cutting-edge interpretations to round out part 2 of the London remixes on a strong note. Don't miss them!

Israeli/Colombian DJ, producer and founder of Underground Bloom Records Label, Golan Zocher's career started at the very young age of 17 spinning vinyl in a city where the electronic music scene was just a shadow of Salsa and tropical rhythms. 

Fast forward to the present, and it’s a joy to see Golan collaborating with Choopie on this stellar EP. Golan frames it like this “Make Me Famous EP is a special one because it represents two tracks of different realms, where one is of light and comfort, security and sense of belonging while the other represents a world of confusion, distress and hypnotic darkness. Both tracks for the same night but at different hours”.  
Make Me Famous, the title track is the first half of this equation, with warm pads and lush chords, while Azaia brings a darker element to proceedings. 

We are also treated to a remix by Tel Aviv born and Berlin based Nela, who shares a gorgeous take on Make Me Famous which brings the piano melodies right to the fore.

Balance have enlisted the services of two masters of their craft in Dave Seaman and Quivver, to curate their next mix compilation release. Style and substance joined at the hip. With Balance presents Dave Seaman & Quivver, both artists have reached out far and wide to their producer friends to pull off a real coup. Every track is exclusive to this release – not one track has previously been released. Quivver explains: "With DJ Mixes two a penny these days online, we really wanted to create something special that would stand out from the crowd and stand the test of time. " Dave Seaman adds: "Much of modern music culture is so disposable in today's digital era, so when we were offered the opportunity to hark back to the halcyon days of the mix compilation and make an album as a physical product again, we jumped at the chance. The Balance Mix series is one of the most respected out there, so it's an honour to become part of their 20 year history. It was a true labour of love which we hope comes across when you press play.

Stas Drive is the first-class multi-genre producer & charismatic dj from ukrainian Kyiv, always unpredictable, with a signature style that absorbed the best of techno, Indie electronica and melodic house, founded his own hypnotic sound with a dynamic groove, deep bass, elegant vocals, atmospheric melodies with organic pastel shades.                      
Beatport quickly recognized his efforts by naming as one of the Top 10 best-selling Progressive House artists in the Beatport Best Awards 2016.

Having started his career back in 2000, he managed to go a long way from a resident of the top venues in Kyiv and Moscow, to a successful sound producer with numerous touring in Europe, America and Asia.
Thanks to hard work in the studio, in 2013 Argentine maestro Hernan Cattaneo noticed him for the first time, playing Stas Drive Remix on the Guy Gerber's "Jango" for almost 10,000 people at the Burning Man, further actively supporting his tracks and remixes in the radio show " Residence" and personally inviting him with debute on his label Sudbeat Music.
Pete Tong didn't remain indifferent, supporting the track "Mocca Sunset" in the Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1.  
At the legendary Time Warp 2016 Maceo Plex blew up the dance floor with the track Stas Drive - Apotheosis.
In 2017 his ambitious work received the first feedback from dance floor guru Solomun, who played the track "Passage Of Time" for almost half a year, at the same time later repeatedly including the tracks of Stas Drive in his crowded performances.  
In 2018 - Tale of Us included Stas Drive's remix of the track "Hourglass" in their set at Afterlife showcase hosted in Hi Ibiza club, among the others.
