As the light blossoms forth on a new era for ICONYC, John Johnson's exclusive imprint is proud to unveil Roman Kyn's arresting "Exploding Sunsets" EP. Making his label debut, the Paris-based music composer, vocalist, and electronic producer presents an exquisite two-track outing that grows beyond the traditional confines of the dancefloors as Roman explores a highly intimate and personal sound, redefining what you've come to expect from ICONYC.

A bold representation of Kyn's unique aesthetic, the EP's titular "Exploding Sunsets" paints a truly cinematic picture, inspired by the memory of a compelling sundown that bathed Tokyo in its translucent hue. Unfurling with distinct aplomb, Roman constructs a sharp beat, laying the foundation for meandering vocal chops and a swaying low end. Making his way through haunting ambiances, Kyn summons a spiraling arpeggio that collides into a break in the clouds where heavenly chords lift his entrancing vocal tones to higher grounds. As we are washed away in a sublime blend of post-apocalyptic melancholy, "Exploding Sunsets" culminates in a monumental finale as laser-sharp synths cut straight through an irresistible groove that charges to meet its entropy. 

Upping the ante, Roman Kyn presents us with one of his most special works to date in "Tell Me Why". Unhurried, Kyn bids his time as warm synthetic embers fall against a hollow percussive backbeat. Stealthily, foundational layers embrace the piece, setting the stage for Roman's emotional lyrics that question far beyond the surface. Growing in tension "Tell Me Why" leads us to a pristine breakdown where 80s-toned synths effortlessly interlock with Kyn's vocals in a state of bliss before collapsing into the beat as it blazes away into the ether in memorable fashion. Designed with the need for pure expression in mind, "Tell Me Why" is a testament to Roman Kyn's sensibilities as an artist, and beckons uncharted new territories in his newfound future.

A sensational first entry in ICONYC's new timeline, Roman Kyn's phenomenal "Exploding Sunsets" EP paves the road to an exciting, endless well of possibilities for both the artist and the revered brand. Roman Kyn's "Exploding Sunsets" EP will see its worldwide release on 10.May 2024 via every major digital content provider.

Ich mache Menschen mit Musik glücklich.

Hier könnte eine typische Biografie stehen. Ist aber nicht so. Ich habe keine Schallplattensammlung geerbt. Meine Eltern waren keine Musiker. Ich habe nie ein Instrument gespielt. Ich habe nie produziert. Ich habe kein Label. Ich habe keine Booking-Agentur. Ich bin kein DJ. Ich liebe Musik und empfehle sie weiter. Ich erzähle damit auch gerne eigene Geschichten. Musik sagt mehr als tausend Worte. Sie soll mich nicht reich machen. Und nicht berühmt. Nur glücklich. Das ist alles. Und das ist auch gut so.
