8Kays has continuously followed her inner call of hunting to new sound landscapes since her music career turned into the "8Kays" chapter. Always inclined to her vision to pursue, 8Kays has released amazing records on renowned Renaissance, Oliver Koletzki's Stil Vor Talent, Yotto's Odd One Out label, as well as great remixes for Berlin-based Booka Shade and Joplyn.
2019 was the year when we had 'Dance Alone' recorded by 8Kays together with Tone Of Arc and released with splendid remixes from Alex Niggemann and Olivier Giacomotto. The world is finally opening the curtains to music, so we can't miss our chance to share such a great EP with you.
'Respect Me' is the title track of this release. It is recorded with Lazarusman: the man of a word, the warrior of a poem. Lazarus is an artist who always brings importance to his works. There is always sense, feeling and message in his words. 'Respect Me' is a protest; it's a manifestation where Lazarusman is explaining his meaning of respect, so you just should listen to it. 8Kays sound design is super detailed in this work: stompy and energetic basslines are a great fit for all the melodic and extra-diverse elements of the track.
French producer Rodriguez Jr. is jumping on 'Respect Me' with his vision. Low electrified sounds with the long-sweeping background alongside the melodic enveloping plus rare and targeted dub-chords create a special remix and which we are very proud to have.
'Young Souls' is the next track of this release. Its hammering mood is recreated with the complex pressure-based bassline and retro synthesizer sounding guitar-like. Additionally, there is Aquarius Heaven on a featuring part.
His meaningful message was recorded during the pandemic peak-time period. It explains it all: the importance of choice, nightlife wandering and life realities we are facing each day.
Aquarius Heaven's vocals are brilliantly harmonized by 8Kays, she gives them a neat and encompassingly completed compositing feeling.
Happy to welcome Denis Horvat to the remix work. We've been big fans of Denis sound. It's extraordinary and unique, but certainly authentic. Therefore we knew the remix is going to be special even before Denis started doing it.
His powerful version gives a full spectrum of moods: detuned sounds, glitchy details and robotized Aquarius vocals are taking us to the breakdown which is worth the wait. Modulizing sounds on the breakdown give a long-awaited unexpected feeling which we are always looking at.
We'll keep on creating more for you, setting no boundaries. As usual.

PREMIERE: 8Kays & Lazarusman - Respect Me [Eleatics Records]

Argentinean Dynacom returns to ICONYC 3 years to the day for his 2nd release. His last outing back of October 2018 was received to high acclaim - with huge support from the big boy brigade at the time. With his long-awaited return to ICONYC, Dynacom delivers a slice of late summer vibes titled 'Lost Boy'. The original mix kicks things off nicely with its melancholic moodiness shining through melodic inspired deep beats and harmonies are in full swing. The track twists effortlessly throughout. It's all about the groove, cool vibes that are working their magic around the wonderfully arranged keys that create an irresistible vibe.

On remix duty we welcome the mighty Renato Cohen. The Brazilian producer, who has seen his work released on some of the world's finest labels certainly needs no introduction. Renato created a rework full of tension from the word go, as the indie stimulated vibe keeps you moving with warm pinging 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 while the groove keeps you moving. "Essential stuff!"

To close out the release we welcome Russian duo HIGHLITE, who are known for their polished, indie influenced sound. They keep the theme of the original alive, as the pulsating bass powers along, before its drum fills and general warmth all combine to do the talking. 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. Outstanding remix from HIGHLITE.

Dynacom's second coming on ICONYC really shows that there're no boundaries, as this beautiful inspired gem guides you to a full-on melodic hug of a release that will cause many smiles induced moments! 'Lost Boy' sees a worldwide release on October 8th, 2021 via every well-known digital content provider. Not to be missed.

PREMIERE : AquAdro - Nuwa (Voices of valley Stellar Remix) [Astral Records]
Buy: https://www.beatport.com/release/nuwa/3534344
Release Date : 2021-11-05

Astral Records opens the month of October by welcoming AquAdro to the label for their debut EP. Based in Italy and comprised of Andrea Del Grosso and Antonio Castaldi, the AquAdro project first emerged in 2007. Inspired by the sounds of Hernan Cattaneo, Deep Dish, Satoshi Tomiie and more, the duo found favourable footing in the progressive music underground, landing releases courtesy of Bonzai Progressive, Stellar Fountain, Sudam Recordings and their own Revelation imprint. A shift in style has reinvigorated AquAdro of late, with a distinct astral techno flair to their productions the Italian duo has found a home on Awen Records, Three Hands Records and Valkyria Records. Now continuing that momentum, AquAdro add Astral Records to their resume with 'Nuwa' alongside a remix from Voices of valley.

Beginning with 'Nuwa' AquAdro deliver one of their most powerful productions to date. Led by a punchy groove, pulsating rhythms and astral stabs, its ethereal nature proves to be quite compelling. Dark and mysterious across the first act, it's flair for the dramatic grows as vocal fragments and sizzling effects elevate mood and tension leading into the break. Spanning over a minute in length, the centrepiece expands the narrative with a symphonic synth display and icy atmospheres melting down to a haunting vocal sample, as the groove drops for a thunderous finale. The companion piece 'Unicum' follows suit with more peak time flair as muscular grooves lay the foundation for growling synths and firing percussion. Ghostly vocal wails add depth and emotion as the narrative evolves, before a tense yet melodious break spearheads a devilish drop and charged finale.

Making their label debut and providing the lone interpretation of 'Nuwa' are Voices of valley. Formed in 2017 by Greek artists Valantis Likostratis and George Triantafyllakis, Voices of valley have achieved measurable success in relatively short order. Their dark, ethereal take on techno has won over the genre's tastemakers and landed them releases on BeatFreak Recordings, KATERMUKKE, Steyoyoke, Three Hands and Us and Them Records. Continuing what has been a prolific year, Voices of valley now make their Astral Records debut with a powerful take on 'Nuwa'. Combining pulsating rhythms with tough beats, crisp percussion and astral stabs makes for a sleek yet electric first act. Metallic arps roll forward, as layers of percussion push momentum into the main break. Grandiose and dramatic in equal measure, buzzing bass swells and cinematic pads highlight the centrepiece, paving the way for a clever transition into an effects laden drop and thunderous final act. A great complement to the original which caps off an excellent Astral Records debut for both AquAdro and Voices of valley. Don't miss it.

It’s an honor to introduce to you all the 50th release of the catalog in our history, the years changes, the life changes and the music changes, but what will never change over time will be our love for techno, that timeless and deep hole, that wraps us in epic but powerful sounds, that makes us fly and takes us to another dimension to make us free. That is what OIBAF&WALLEN, Areeas & Moodayz bring us, a track directly designed to reach the minds most eager to fly and move their feet. Lets start the new era of ONISM bringing to you a remix from the melodic wizards Wurtz & Iberian Muse, few words needed.

We are celebrating our 25th anniversary life as a record label. For this occasion we will be releasing potential remixes of our potential tracks that have been already previously released on Beatfreak Recordings. 
The first edition of remixes comes from the very well known German artist Stereo Express. He created a wonderful remix for track Bareknuckle from Citizen Kain putting on it his melodic tint and danceable vibe.

With 'Hunger' we welcome back New York's finest and label resident Allies for Everyone and Rafael Cerato. Allies & Rafael, who don't need any introduction, treat us with a brand-new track that oozes class and sophistication. 'Hunger' features rich driving textures; as well as euphoric and moody deep house vibes to satisfy ambient, uplifting and feel-good needs, which are the keywords for this beautiful and extraordinary release.

Allies for Everyone & Rafael open proceedings with their smashing original mix. The duo's maturity and musical development is in full swing, as they kick off with a deep, hypnotic beat which is interspersed with subtle effective percussion a profound floaty grooves and indie influences, turning this one into an underground anthem with a very soul tangling appeal. The hypnotizing groove combined with Allies' smooth vocal work gradually ease their way to the breakdown before all elements combine to be unleashed into a rising melodic hook, intertwined with the infectious groove that fades in and out for maximum effect.

Indian maestro Browncoat's interpretation opens proceedings on the remix front; he hits all the right chords from the word go. Known for his distinct and quality driven production style, Browncoat's deep entry is intermixing with glowing drive, filtered stabs and stunning groove which beautifully leads into a drop full of tension and excitement, with the understated yet driving bassline powering the groove along. He manages to keep the energy up, while allowing the driving melodic house feel to shine thru over the many layers and textures to create a beautiful soundscape to round off this classy underground crowd pleaser. Essential stuff!

The second remix comes from label debutant Th3 Oth3r. The Spanish' producers sound is a tough thing to pin down. He is such a unique act in the sense that his emotional creations carry quite a large scope. Th3 Oth3r is not afraid to explore esoteric or introspective themes and the end result is always a compelling one. Such is the case with his remix of 'Hunger', which carries many of his most loved production hallmarks. From a warm, meaty low end to icy atmospherics and an effects storyboard to get lost in, there is certainly a lot to love. The main break being the high point, with the mood shifting from emotive to ominous with an effortless ease. It's something you rarely see and he pulled off beautifully here.

Allies for Everyone & Rafael Cerato's return to ICONYC, with two amazing remixes from Browncoat & Th3 Oth3r, is a triumphant one. 'Hunger' manages to deliver a message of sustained musical relevance in emphatic fashion to warm the soul. 'Hunger' sees a worldwide release on September 9th, 2022 via all well-known digital content providers. Not to be missed!
