Ian O'Donovan - Still Waters Remixes [XYZ020]
Release Date - July 24th, 2020
Stream & Purchase - https://ampl.ink/1j8oJ

As a crucial figure in the history of the thriving Irish dance scene, and a favorite of the When We Dip team since their early formation in Dublin, Ian O’Donovan is an artist innately connected to the XYZ label. Through an illustrious career, he’s presented his unique blend of uplifting productions on behemoths such as Bedrock and Suara.

For an artist like O’Donovan, long form collections such as the recent Still Waters album provides a refreshed insight into the Irishman’s studio character in 2020. Still Waters masterfully touches upon deep & melodic tones, while also propelling us into techno-oriented fields throughout the project.

Continuing the LP’s journey, we proudly present four remixes from across the electronic landscape. Given the diverse nature of the original material, it’s only right that the remixes are equally as eclectic.

Rounding out the remixes we have Petit Beurre revisiting Stratus. The Austrian duo have an old school feel to their sound, as their groove-laden techno is brimming with Detroit influence. The Stratus rework harnesses swirling synths on top of an analog bass and a classic kick. It’s a sumptuous finale to a collection of remixes that O’Donovan and XYZ feel is the perfect accompaniment to the Still Waters project; an homage to electronic music’s diverse nature.

Hilsdon, a DJ and producer born in Birmingham, is an exciting, emerging talent in the UK's underground music scene, making a name for himself by weaving together Progressive House and Melodic House & Techno to create his signature energetic and driving progressive sound. From a young age, Hilsdon has been heavily influenced by Trance, House, and Balearic styles of music, drawing on these influences to inject emotion and groove into every set, entrancing the dancefloor with hypnotic melodies, evocative vocals and rolling basslines.

The head of Orphic has performed up and down the UK, supporting huge international artists such as Korolova, Michael Hooker and Bound To Divide, while performing at iconic venues like EGG London. What sets Hilsdon apart is his drive and willingness to push new, exciting sounds within Birmingham through his event brand Orphic, bringing through up-and-coming talent and creating a community for progressive and melodic styles of music.

Favouring a deeper, darker progressive sound, Hilsdon draws on his idols Cristoph, Dosem, GMJ, Dmitry Molosh and influential labels like Sudbeat, UV, Balkan Connection, Siona Records and Lost & Found, to craft his own interpretation of progressive & melodic music, ready to take the underground scene by storm. He marks 2024 with his debut release on North Origin Records, with a further release in the summer on Freegrant Music's sub-label, Big Toys Production, and more to come in the later year.
