Skatman Unveils Upcoming Double EP “ Believin’ " on Cognitive Prophecy

Berlin-based, Tunisian-born DJ, producer, and label curator Skatman is starting the new year with the release of his highly anticipated double EP, “ Believin’ ", dropping on the 10th of January via his acclaimed label, Cognitive Prophecy (CP records). Known for his genre-defying sets and productions, Skatman continues shaping contemporary electronic music's soundscape with this bold new release.

'Believin’’ serves as both a showcase of Skatman’s evolution as an artist, constantly pushing boundaries with collections that span multiple genres. This double EP is structured as a journey, blending hypnotic grooves, raw textures, and dreamy harmonies across seven tracks that flow seamlessly from the dance floor to introspective listening.

The EP opens with 'Fresh’, setting the stage with a raw, dark, and industrial broken beat offering that introduces Skatman’s sonic vision. It flows into the pulsating energy of 'Merci', a track juxtaposing minimalistic melodies with rich, textured layers. 'Feel It' injects an element of 90s house, while the title track, ‘Still Believin’ featuring the Hungarian singer Gianet, anchors the EP with its soulful vocals and hypnotic rhythms.

On the second half, 'Forget It' shifts gears, offering slight acidic elements, while 'Dream On' delivers an anthemic blend of cinematic melodies, epic vocals, and icy hi-hats. The EP concludes with 'Circle of Despair (Epilogue Beatless Version)', a meditative, ambient piece that leaves listeners in a reflective state.

Just Wanna

Ladies Man

Following his acclaimed debut on ICONYC in late 2024, Italian producer Daniel Tagliaferri returns to the transatlantic label as Ivory with Want, a four-part suite that deepens his sonic language and sharpens his emotional vocabulary. With a precise command of space, rhythm, and tension, Want feels less like a follow-up and more like a statement of intent, one that situates Ivory among the most sensitive sculptors of the modern dancefloor.

Opening piece "Want You" operates on restraint and release. Beneath a tightly wound rhythmic chassis, Ivory allows elements to breathe: a spectral vocal motif slinks into view, met by tightly coiled bass pressure and gently oscillating synth lines. It's a slow ignition, offering tension without urgency, seduction without sentimentality.

"Like That" pushes further into the shadows, layering intricate percussive work against glowing analog textures. Arpeggios shimmer with a retro-futurist sheen, folding into themselves like fading memories. Ivory's treatment of space here is masterful—both intimate and distant, like hearing a whispered secret across a crowded room.

On "You" we seemingly go down a gear, as bells sway and chords unfurl across a liminal soundscape, offering a moment of introspection. Distant vocal fragments rise through the mist, barely audible yet emotionally insistent. An ambient vignette that hovers somewhere between reverie and farewell.

The final track, "What You Gonna Do", brings us full circle. Anchored by a hypnotic chord progression and a sultry spoken-word refrain, it's a slow-burning closer that coils around the listener with quiet magnetism. The mood is seductive, the structure patient, the emotional weight undeniable.

Somewhere between bold and disarming, Ivory's "Want" is a bewitching recollection of music that blooms in the crescent twilight hours, revealing layers upon layers of unbridled passion.
