With ‘Arapaima’ we welcome Italian, Danny Lloyd who has seen his music featured on prominent labels like PHW, Stellar Fountain, Balkan Connection, Suffused and Dopamine to name a few. Passionate about his métier and adept in a variety of genres, ambience is an integral component in the Danny's production sound as deep and progressive house are closely tied to sensations ranging across the spectrum from melancholy to delight. Now interchanging these differing moods into audial form. ICONYC is proud to announce Danny 's debut single release on the label with the aptly named three-tracker ‘Arapaima.

To start us off, Danny lets rip with the melodic soundscapes of the title track ‘Arapaima’. Danny's 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, accompanied by a subtle acid line that is going to leave a mark on your aural perception.

First up on remix duty we have Canadian Navid Mehr. His remix opens with stunningly textured pads that warm the soul before a strong melodic infused bassline provides the base for this inspired piece to play out in delayed glory. Intermittent drums and soft soaked percussions in reverb come together to create a structured sphere of sonic geniality. Navid recaptured the essence of the original in truly magical form. Essential stuff!

Last but not least, we are proud to have another big hitter on remix duty. Dutch maestro Mohn (NL) presents a musical affirmation, unified by a relentless kick drum and dark atmospheric emotion, a concoction of warm, deep bass grooves, swirling pads, textured layers and stunning effects. Clever synth phrases complete the picture and create a cleverly worked piece of art to see out a true masterpiece of a remix. 

Danny Lloyd’s – Arapaima sees a worldwide release exclusively via ICONYC on April 24th, 2017. Miss this at your peril!!
