ICONYC celebrate five-year anniversary with landmark double mix album from Stil & Bense and John Johnson. An earthworm has five hearts. Humans have five senses. The Olympic flag has five rings. DJs have the circle of fifths. ICONYC are celebrating five years…

All throughout history, religion, maths, music and beyond, the number five has a powerful sense of meaning and poignancy… And it's a number that isn't lost on the Berlin / New York-based brand ICONYC. The first milestone moment that gives any true sense of perspective, five years is a special moment for any creative endeavour. Especially in the turbulent world of the 21st century music game. 

Transcending trends, algorithms, diminishing attention spans, a global pandemic and everything else the world has thrown at us all, since 2016 ICONYC has grown from its humble roots to establish itself as one of the most trusted and exciting platforms in house and techno. 

With its near-permanent residence in the upper regions of the Beatport charts and a dizzying menu of spin-off operations from high-profile Red Bull TV series ICONYC TV to the ICONYC Production Academy, ICONYC has consistently stayed true to its vision: to champion the most exciting, authentic and innovative house and techno out there, to encourage the next generation, to celebrate the universal language of the dancefloor, and to craft special releases like this powerful double-disc mix from leading German tastemaker duo Stil & Bense and progressive house veteran label founder John Johnson. 

Spanning 40+ tracks over the label's five years and featuring a who's who in progressive house and melodic techno, the mixes reflect the many sonic shades and moods of ICONYC. Stil & Bense dig deep into the label's floor-focused melody-heavy techno vaults while John Johnson taps into the label's more progressive spirit, a sound he was a major part of almost 30 years ago, for a captivating atmospheric journey. Both trips are equally as timeless, emotive and enduring as they poignantly plot the coordinates between where ICONYC has been, where ICONYC is at and where ICONYC is heading. 

With so much achieved in five years, and even bigger plans for the future, this is only the beginning for ICONYC; a label rooted by a timeless dance music spirit but powered by new gen energy. We take five. We high five. Here's to the next five years…

Five Years

Five Years Pt.1 Compiled & Mixed by Stil & Bense | ICONYC NYC026X

VmF - Podcast #058 by Marc Slope

Die Faszination für elektronische Tanzmusik begann mit ersten Clubbesuchen im alter von 15 Jahren.
Schnell wurde klar das diese Form von Musik und zusammentreffen von Menschen eine besondere Wirkung von Freiheit und Inspiration auf ihn ausübte.
-
Die ersten klassischen DJ Sets ließen nicht lange auf sich warten, 2014 begann er regelmäßig Mixe zu veröffentlichen und auch Shows zu spielen.
-
Bis heute stehen diverse Auftritte zu Buche. Engagement und Residency bei der Klick Klack Partyreihe in Wismar, Mitbegründer und Resident beim Krach am Bach Festival in Thüringen sowie Gigs im Stampfland Lübeck als auch Auftritte beim Orange Sun Festival uvm...
-
Auch als Produzent von elektronischer Musik ist er mittlerweile tätig. Sein erstes Release " Good Pluck" erschien im April 2022. Deep, treibend mit einer gehörigen Portion Groove reißt das Stück seine Hörer mit und regt zur intensiven Bewegung an. Für das Jahr 2022 stehen noch weitere Veröffentlichungen auf dem Plan.
-
Im Augenmerk seiner Sets und Produktionen steht vorrangig tanzbarkeit, das Erlebnis für Zuhörer mit auf eine Reise genommen zu werden. Als Künstler und Musiksammler der sich von klassischer House Music bis hin zu derben Techno Produktionen gleichermaßen inspirieren lässt, entstehen Symbiosen die nicht immer alltäglich scheinen und einen besonderen Reiz ausüben.
-
Sein Motto erscheint daher durchaus plausibel:

"Things can be so simple...
only good vibes House & Techno Music since 2014"
