Abuk, Gespona - Mr. Hex

Blazing onto ICONYC for its 21st release, Swiss sonic alchemist Shiffer makes a striking debut with the magnetic All I've Been EP. Celebrated for his emotional finesse and innate ability to connect with unexplored corners, Shiffer's latest creation, including a lucious collaboration with Paul Brenning and capped off by Jonathan Kaspar's trademark rework, is a tantalizing suite designed to echo in our timeless halls.
 
The journey begins with Shiffer & Paul Brenning's opening manifesto, "All I've Been", a track that unfurls with both confidence and caution, as if self-aware from its very first beat. Mechanical whirs and fractured frames give way to low-end swells that drive forward with an unrelenting undertow. Brenning's unmistakable vocals start to break a warmer ground as they linger in the liminal space between today and tomorrow before slowly growing in gravitas. Suddenly, the piece begins to contort, drawing spellbinding figures as arresting arrangements and melodic flourishes allow for decompression. Imbued with a tantalizing breakdown that amplifies their exquisite use of negative space, "All I've Been" is a fascinating and intimate take that feels as expansive as it ever could.

ICONYC calls upon Cologne innovator Jonathan Kaspar, who delivers a singular reinterpretation of "All I've Been". Immersed in iridescent textures, Kaspar layers lush, swelling pads over pulsing low frequencies, their ebb and flow punctured by flashes of distortion that spark like electric currents.. Reflective and equally immersive, Jonathan Kaspar's take on "All I've Been" pushes the collaboration into a brash new terrain while retaining the spiritual ethos intact.
 
"Urban Legends", closes the release and takes a bolder stance. Anchored by heavy drum programming that carves its place with deliberate force, the track is haunted by ghostlike vocal fragments that lend an unsettling, cinematic edge.. Out from the left field, Shiffer deploys undulating synthetics that intertwine with consummate ease as they glide under the spotlight. An alluring act that treads unhurried and unconcerned, "Urban Legends" operates at its own pace, far from the demands of a world lost in the metropolitan hustle, allowing us to bask in a lore of things that might or might never have happened.

https://essential-part.com/ Rooted in instinct and clarity, Bingami reflects Yamil’s current creative state: raw, effortless, and focused. Having risen to prominence in the global electronic music scenes as a visionary artist, he now lands on Essential Part with a groove that remains both hard-lined and true to its core.

The title track emerged in a moment of lightness. House chords and acid lines unfold without resistance, built in motion. Aereus raises the tempo with a sharper edge, crafted for that peak-hour tension when the floor gives in. Closing the EP, Endlight shifts inward, a nostalgic journey guided by wide pads and an understated emotional pull. A distant glow. The light at the end of the tunnel.

We are delighted to welcome back Sean & Dee to ICONYC with their brand new ‘The Ascension EP’. Their Dragonfly release back in October on ICONYC Noir, laid down the gauntlet and has seen their stock rise rapidly since. On their ICONYC debut the duo gets us in the mood with the opening track 'Last Tree Standing’. A grooving melodic techno roller, fusing chord stabs with string ensembles and clinical percussion with a beautiful driving lead line. 'Last Tree Standing’ is a monster of a track, that is perfect for your club inspired evening entertainment and to get you in the mood for a big night out.

Next up we have the title track ‘The Ascension'; this driving offbeat basslined winner, really hits it one from the off, as it musically slams it home. Adding a few warm tinkling sounds, a squelchy edge and some nicely effected spoken sounding pieces, and we basically have the formula for a bit of a leftfield monster. Like something from yesteryear, yet sounding fresh - this melodic techno monster will do nicely thank you very much.

Last but not least, we the stunning ‘Moon Stairs’ a musical affirmation, unified by a warm kick drum and dark atmospheric emotion, the track is a concoction of warm, deep bass and grooves, swirling pads, textured layers and stunning effects. Clever sound phrases throughout complete the picture and create a cleverly worked piece of club music art to see out a true three-track masterpiece release from Sean & Dee.

Having established their credentials thru the regular output of quality productions via various well-known labels has endeared them to a wide array of dance music loving folk. The duo’s latest outing, showcases their talents, by taking them a step further to round off this brilliant underground crowd pleaser. Another essential ICONYC release from the heart, for the dance loving soul. Sean & Dee’s ‘The Ascension’ sees a worldwide release on February 4th, 2019 exclusively via ICONYC and Beatport.
