Katharsis LIVE @ We Love Trance CE 057 (KontenerART - 30-08-2025 - Poznan)

"Tfw you open Propellerhead Reason in your imaginary private economy class jet music studio, and cannot find the dubstep sounds..."

With his forthcoming album Dofflin Beach, Danish producer icfam invites listeners into the shimmering, slippery world of dofflin — a bright, futuristic, and mostly forgotten subgenre of electronic music from mid 2010s.

Conceived as the soundtrack to a behind-the-scenes video from an imaginary world tour, Dofflin Beach plays like a surreal travel diary: a jet-lagged superstar wandering from a beach party where “everyone was stang-bacardi,” to a sunrise jam session with bongos, synths, and even synth-bongos. Amongst the dancing people, a digital video camera gets tossed around, capturing the energy in fragments.

“Trying to capture the essence of dofflin is a slippery affair,” icfam admits. Yet on Dofflin Beach he leans into those early inspirations and influences, reimagining them in his own way about a decade later. It’s music that evokes both longing and belonging.

From beach to beach, to the imaginary private jet studio over the open sea, this album is a postcard from a place where dofflins do sing and play.

[album]

“Softer hands” introduces a reality where art-electronics emerge from familiar club language. Sentimental melodies spray delicate feelings over metallic, hypnotising backgrounds. Distant, angelic choirs are softly moulded and shaped by whirring mechanical sounds, hisses and swooshes. Over time, the music leads inward, letting light through densely packed soundscapes. The result is touching, otherworldly, at times uncanny or post-apocalyptic, like an ensemble of machines learning to feel. The circle of three remixers perfectly understands the language cratje operates in, adding to the universe created within four original tracks. 

downtempo / ambient / industrial / melodic / art-electronics

Spinal Fusion, musician of Indian origin, sound engineer, started to produce music at the age of seventeen. Always had an ear for music and sounds since the age of 10 which literally excited him! But it wasn’t until he really started experimenting in 2008 and feeling the psychedelic atmosphere that he discovered he wanted to share and entertain the people with.
It was in 2012, in a wake of giving a platform to release his creation, the idea of Profound Records was formulated with the help his partner Radhika Bhanot .Since then Profound Records has not only given him the freedom that he needed but also has been supporting the upcoming generations of talented musicians and DJ's along with the prominent names in a profoundly way.
 
From these humble beginning, Profound Records has been able to establish his name among the prominent international record labels  with an increasing number of followers & a solid reputation which was also marked by #37 position in 2014 by Beatport tracker on Top PsyTrance Labels list.
 
Profound Records has been constantly evolving and is always on move not for just another release but for productive and new genuine artists that would like to build a long relationship with us. With a commitment to support the upcoming generation we have offered many artists the much needed platform to share their music with the rest of the world.
 
Since the beginning our journey has been an ongoing process of creation, learning, fine tuning & tweaking ;We here at Profound are dedicated to bring the best of Psychedelic Trance and its sub-genres by delivering high quality sounds by retaining and preserving the psychedelic scene universally.
 
 
Love & Light
