Italian producer Moderate Kingdom marks his debut on ICONYC with his outstanding 'Seyane EP'. The talented producer has been causing a stir within the scene with his unique and lasting productions. He developed an inimitable style of music, full of drive, paired with despondent and warm patterns that guided them to where he is today and embodies the sound, he now personifies. 
 
On his debut Moderate Kingdom leads with the outstanding title track 'Seyane'; a stunning driving melodic affair with some afro house elements for good measure. The track utilizes a deep groove as foundation, underpinned by a profound bass and driving synth chords that gradually ease their way to the summit. Unified by a deep kick drum and dusky atmospheric emotion, the composition climaxes by adding recurrent percussive elements and soaked melodies that come together to create a structured sphere of sonic satisfaction. Clever synth phrases complete the picture to create an ingeniously worked piece of art. 

The melodic soundscapes of the accompanying track 'Zegama' rounds off this spectacular release. Moderate'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, complemented by a stunning groove that is going to leave a mark on your aural perception. Stunningly textured pads that warm the soul and a strong melodic infused bassline provide the base for this inspired piece to play out in delayed glory. Essential stuff!

With Moderate Kingdom's debut outing on ICONYC, he takes his talents a step further to round off this brilliant underground 2 track crowd pleaser. The EP is certain to find its way into the playlists of the big-boys brigade. Moderate Kingdom's 'Seyane EP' sees the day of light on June 7th. Not to be missed!

The latest release on ICONYC welcomes brothers Julien & Raphaël Piacentino known as Esoteric Circle to the label for a brand-new EP. The French artists are widely recognized for their unique blend of intricate sound design. Their genre defying sound has remained fresh over the years and their discography features releases on Spectrum, Future Romance and Oddity as a result.

The EP opens with 'Move!' which brings a wealth of melodic trickery that Esoteric Circle seem so adept at creating. From its funky foundation, esoteric vocals and a bevy of strong rhythmic elements, everything just seems to click perfectly. The progression is really nice as well, as the vocal narrative expands along with some intermittent percussive splashes all throughout the third act. 

With 'Eldricht Knight, Esoteric Circle showcase their unique rhythmic structures and bold melodic motifs. Dark, driven and laced with distinctive percussion the first act is beastly, as its deep groove powers forward. Smooth stabs along with an intriguing vocal sample carry the track into the break where stripped beats and a calculated build set up an enormous finale. This is quite big for the duo and no doubt a monster on the dance floor. 

The release concludes with the title track 'Sierra Maestra' which is likely the most ominous and of the three. From the beginning the story is laid out through driving bass stabs, haunting vocal samples and gold trails. Swirling effects setup, a mild cross-cultural theme which only adds to its magical tone. The running time is kept tight at just over 5 minutes but the shifts in tonal elements along with subtle twists and turns are such that it blows by pretty quick, making a for a great piece to round out the EP. Three quality tracks from Esoteric Circle which makes for an outstanding debut release on ICONYC.
