Next up, we welcome Simos Tagias to the label with the 'Mantis EP'. 

A prolific producer, Simos Tagias has released with everyone from FSOE and UV to Replug and Mango Alley. Based in northern Greece, he made his breakthrough with Lynx Records a decade ago, and has gone on to create an enviable back catalogue with support across the progressive scene from the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Cid Inc.  and more. 

Opening with lead track, 'Mantis', we are quickly swept up in Simos' epic soundscape. Dirty bass and gunshot stabs playfully work against shakers and sidechained pads growing the tension over time. Midway, new synthlines add meat to the bones of this chunky groover before the main break cools things off a touch. 

'Daydreamer' begins apace with gated bass and eerie atmospheres. Dark and moody, the sound design creates powerful mental images as the tracks takes hold. Closing the EP, the tribal rhythms of 'Breath' feel extra funky. Synth washes and sparse percussion give the track acres of space to breathe(!) creating a light breezy vibe. Solid work from one of the scene's unsung heroes.

For our last release of 2017 we welcome back Artem Kalalb to ICONYC with his brand new single ‘Satellites’. With his long-awaited return to the label, Artem delivers a slice of beautiful winter vibes titled ‘Satellites’. The track kicks things off nicely with its melancholic moodiness shining through as we meander effortlessly through moody inspired melodies and the deep grooves, while the sultry chords sit wonderfully on top adding an extra layer of depth. 

Emi Galvan, famed for his intricate and refined production delivers a cool deeper take while adding his own vocals to give the track a truly unique feel. His rework creates 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 this restrained gem works its magic while it plays away, creating a warm glow, creating an air of sophistication. "Essential stuff!"

Next up is Zed White, known for his polished sound, who keeps 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 - This mystical touch up takes the energy levels up a notch, but increases the melancholy 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.

Last but not least we have the Dub version of Emi’s brilliant vocal mix. It's all about the groove, silky house vibes and the melancholic beats that are working their magic around Emi’s wonderfully arranged keys that create an irresistible rhythm while clever chords take the mind on a trip. A truly beautiful cultivated rework. 

All the ingredients are there for another instant ICONYC classic and a fitting way to close out a wonderful year on ICONYC in style. Artem Kalab’s 'Satellites' sees a worldwide release on December 18th, 207. Don't miss out on this marvellous release.

Emi Galvan - Trappist [Movement Recordings]

The release concludes with Emi Galvan returning to the label for his third appearance which follows a remix of ‘Abyssal’ by Dimuth K in August of last year. Now following a remix for Manual Music, Emi returns to Movement with his latest creation entitled ‘Trappist’. A warm, perfectly sculpted low end brings funk and roll across a bouncy first act. Cross cultural motifs and buzzing synths then converge for a mystical vibe before the narrative unfolds during a soulful and musically inspired break. An impassioned production from Emi which rounds out the first edition of Movement’s ‘GLBLMVMT’ series in style.

Returning to Sudbeat after the excellent ‘Human’ EP is Emi Galvan with three more dancefloor bombs in the form of the ‘Alfa Zeta’ EP.

Emi Galvan has blazed quite a trail within the progressive community over the last four years. It was 2015 that he became a significant blip on dance music’s radar with the excellent ‘Mexico Trip’ and ‘You Never’. DJ support from the upper echelons of the genre has cemented his position, and spurred him on to ever greater achievements.

‘Alfa Zeta’ opens with ominous chords as the shaker led percussion draws you in. In no rush to leave, the groove develops patiently; layering synths and melody aplomb. ‘Karma’ is more insistent. It’s Moroder-like bass drives forward with Bladerunner sweeps and Eastern keys adding mystery. Rounding out the pack is the uptempo ‘Trust’. Built around a repeating hook, crisp percussive layers and powerful pads energise and grow over time into a climatic peak time monster.

Release Date: 4 Feb 2019
