We are delighted to welcome back German duo Add-Us with their brand-new 'Phases EP'. The talented duo has been a well-known entity within the scene and have graced some of the world's finest electronic music labels with their unique and lasting productions. The duo developed an inimitable style of music, full of ambiances, paired with despondent and warm dreamy patterns that guided them to where they are to today and embodies the sound they now personify. People regularly equate their productions as remarkable and flamboyant in equal measures. 
 
On their return the duo leads with the outstanding opening track 'Phases'; a stunning driving melodic techno affair. The track utilizes a deep groove as foundation, underpinned by a profound bass and smooth synth chords that gradually ease their way to the summit. Unified by a relentless kick drum and dusky atmospheric emotion, the composition climaxes by adding recurrent percussive elements and soft soaked melodies that come together to create a structured sphere of sonic satisfaction. Clever synth phrases complete the picture to create an ingeniously worked piece of art.

The melodic soundscapes of the accompanying title track 'Light the Way' rounds off this spectacular release. Add-Us' influences are immediately evident as subtle freeform concepts drift through percussive inspired instrumentations. Rippling melodies trip along a deep kick that anchors an auricular montage to create a special sonic infused moment, complemented by a subtle groove that is going to leave a mark on your aural perception. Stunningly textured pads that warm the soul and a strong melodic infused bassline provide the base for this inspired piece to play out in delayed glory. Essential stuff!

With Add-Us' return to ICONYC, they take their talents a step further by dropping this brilliant underground 2 track crowd pleaser. 'Phases' is certain to find its way into the playlists of the big-boys brigade. Another essential ICONYC release from the heart, for the dance loving soul. What better way to get the 2023 campaign underway in style. Highly recommended!

Deux mots suffisent à définir le caractère incomparable de mes sets : L’oreille musicale .

Les 5 premières secondes d’un nouveau  morceaux  me sont plus que suffisantes pour savoir si il doit intégrer une de mes playlist  et à  quel niveau d’excellence il se situe pour choisir  sur laquelle il doit être implémenté. .
c’est dans ce sens que je me défini  sans aucune hésitation comme un artiste à part entière . C’est une chose de composer un titre c’en est une autre de composé pièce par pièce son orchestre et d en être le chef pour sublimer cette créativité sans égale  de la musique électronique.

Two words are enough to define the incomparable character of my sets: The musical ear.

The first 5 seconds of a new song are more than enough for me to know if it should integrate one of my playlists and at what level of excellence it is located to choose at which it should be implemented. 
It is in this sense that I define myself without any hesitation as an artist in its own right. It is one thing to compose a title it is another to compose piece by piece his orchestra and to be its conductor to sublimate this unparalleled creativity
