boop EP

Premiere: zlene - boop (Mihai Popoviciu Remix) [Seaweed Rhythm]

With the remix edition of MUUI's 'Relevant Symmetry' we welcome back label favorites Mononoid and D-Nox in collaboration with Ed Steele to ICONYC. 

D-Nox & Ed Steele open proceedings with their rendition of 'Relevant Symmetry'. D-Nox who needs no introduction, has been gracing the top labels of the world with his work for years, with his partner in crime Beckers. For the remix of 'Relevant Symmetry' he teamed up with Ed Steele, who has seen a steady rise to the top with his outstanding productions. 

The duo created a rework full of tension from the word go, as the atmospheric vibe subtly keeps you moving with warm tinkling sounds, a smooth edge and some nicely effected sounding pieces. We basically have the formula for a bit of a monumental outing. The sparseness is the key here, as their restrained gem works its magic while it plays away, creating a warm glow, creating an air of sophistication. "Essential stuff!"

Next up we have a remix from label all-stars Mononoid, known for their polished driving sound, keep the ethereal theme of the original alive, as the pulsating bass powers along, before its drum fills and general warmth all combine to do the talking. Like something from yesteryear, yet sounding fresh – Their transcendent touch up adds controlled calmness, but increases the groove with stripped back and lucid elements at the same time, before the luscious pads grace the rework changing the vibe and creating a blanket of warmth that wraps around the effected groove.

With the remix edition of 'Relevant Symmetry' MUUI once again proves that the enigmatic producer knows no boundaries, as this beautiful melodic gem guides you to a full-on club laden, melodic hug of a release that will cause many smile induced moments and lift the gloomy mood that many of us are experiencing. Not to be missed!

Relevant Symmetry III

MUUI - Relevant Symmetry III (D - Nox & Ed Steele Remix) | ICONYC NYC011X

Blended by many years of club nights as a DJ and alternative late-night music listening at home, wasP (was Paul McCarthy / Mac) is an artistic expression which sets to capture an individualized style established by the deeper & more melancholic grooves of the electronic genre.

The first single “Laid Bare” was born out of desire to write a song which connected to a vulnerable state and is sung by his cousin, the inimitably talented Deaf Joe. Recorded during lockdown in a makeshift home studio, Deaf Joe’s atmospheric vocals provided extra significance to the lyrics whilst buttressing the gradual build of energy throughout the track.

wasP's beautiful debut single is accompanied by strong remixes courtesy of Deeparture and KAMADEV.

featuring Federico Ferrarini. 
Enjoy!

Mikronaut / Black Mamba

Matias Chilano - Mikronaut feat. Federico Ferrarini [Balkan Connection South America]

'The Happy Camper parents Unders, Britta Arnold and Noraj Cue translate intimacy, community, good vibes, liberty and love into musical bliss. Their medium to enlighten and brighten our currently pandemic dominated world. Together, they share their story, so roll out your carpet, expose your soul, and embark on our Happy Camper journey!

Mekong is a energetic tribalistic heater that is bossy from the start. Subtle driven stabs create a melody suitable for any dance floor. With enough tech to keep it groovin’, Los Cabra sustains a continuous build and release. All derived from layers of elements which, without a doubt, will attract your attention and make it easy to dance till the very end.

Our very own Noraj Cue brings a remix that is compelling, seductive, yet still raw at the same time. The right balance of build and progression keeps your head and body in motion. Seasoned with sounds from the original in combination with some timed randomness will maintain a steady development throughout. We always love Jaron's touch.

Futaleufu, a Mapudungun word meaning ‘Big River,’ starts with a driving kick that channels into a dark, rolling bassline. Elements of techno, and tribal percussion paves the way to this stream of mysteriousness and hypnotic spirit. This is what we’ve been waiting for. Give in.

And to top of the ep, Britta’s remix is a deep fusion of techno and grindy house with a sprinkle of acid. Her intricate layers of drum elements play perfectly off each other to provide an ‘elefante’ und elegante taste of minimal tech, that signature sound you and I so dearly love to hear from this Katerblau resident. Meoooow!

We give a warm welcome to Los Cabra joining our family!'

RIC NIELS Roots EP

001 encounter
002 encounter juan deminicis remix
003 kinton
004 kinton weird sounding dude remix
005 roots

Trademark melodies and effortless soundscapes flow through the fingertips of Ric Niels as he displays his true "Roots". Verdant backdrops and rocky outcrops look over vast nature reserves as beautiful melodies glisten in the sultry atmosphere of a new "Encounter". Shimmering motifs and arpeggiated sequences fall in rivulets across "Kinton". Edgy synths and rolling phrases shift in symmetrical patterns against the undulating mountainside, building to a powerful summit of melody and emotion, an explosion echoes in the valley below. Beneath the forest canopy new "Roots" hold a commanding bassline force resonating with raw analogue power Towering overhead, new phrases blossom amongst the treetops in vibrant energy.

An Argentinean maestro forges a mesmerising new "Encounter" that bristles with organic energy and intense beauty. Beautifully animated melodies from Juan Deminicis create an atmosphere that conjures images of birdsong and teeming wildlife. Bristling with vitality, a path into the heart of the jungle is a trip of a lifetime. From the side of the sun, Weird Sounding Dude creates a dazzling new interpretation of "Kinton". Seductive and exquisite, a new aural chemistry creates an alloy of precious sounds that gleam in the dark earth. Reverberated sounds echo into the distance in sonic shards of birdsong while hypnotic melodies hold sway against the quebracho blanco.

RIC NIELS Kinton (Weird Sounding Dude Remix)

After remixing GMJ & Matter’s “Lost on Origin” in late 2020, Imran Khan returned to Meanwhile with a full EP debut in February 2021. Returning to the stellar release, two new remixes come from Argentinean and Greek stars.

A legendary figure in the underground house fraternity, Juan Deminicis has consistently been at the cutting edge of the movement with a distinctive and innovative sound that has seen him grace such iconic imprints as Pablo Bolivar’s Seven Villas, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Guy J’s Lost & Found. Now making his Meanwhile debut, the Juan Deminicis remix of “Horizonz” is a compelling rework that dazzles with trademark rhythmic flair and sumptuous melodic arrangement. Layers of sound cascade over each other in intelligent fashion as the cadence of the original is enhanced with a dynamic vibrancy from sparkling hi-hats. Sumptuous pads and reverb-coated synth lines ripple across proceedings with ease as the subtle motifs of Khan’s work are complemented further by Deminicis’ stunning artistry.

Another iconic figure to feature heavily within the progressive house movement, Simos Tagias has been a watchword for high-quality production work that has been at the heart of a plethora of blue-chip labels after early work for Lynx Records in late 2012. Since then, some 400 production credits have featured heavily for the likes of Roger Martinez’s Higher States, Aly & Fila’s FSOE and the evergreen Proton Music. March 2021’s “Euphoria / Emotion” EP showcased the Greek producer’s talents on Meanwhile as he now returns with a blistering reworking of “Horizonz” that carries all the hallmarks of an artist at the height of his powers. Pitched arpeggios rise and fall with ease as subtle melodic layers criss-cross in imperceptible patterns, creating new harmonies and pulsating waves of sound. Reaching a rousing crescendo, a hypnotic new motif appears in the second half to mesmeric effect as Tagias extends Imran Khan’s work into a stunning new direction.

Looking out over new “Horizonz”, Juan Deminicis and Simos Tagias create a bright new dawn for Imran Khan.
