OOVATION - ECHOES - ICONYC
Oovation has developed a universally loved unique style; a dynamic, groovy, deep and hypnotic fusion of genres that perfectly fits in any kind of club or open-air festival. Oovation's releases have always received high acclaim from the world's leading lights of electronic music. For his return to ICONYC, we're excited to welcome Jares & Anido to bring us their take on Oovation's “Echoes”.
Oovation who knows a thing or two when it comes to mind-blowing productions, delivers an irresistible track that kicks things off nicely with the melancholic vibes setting the tone. He roams effortlessly through progressive-inspired melodies, while the sultry chords sit wonderfully on top of the driving percussive foundation. Oovation takes it up a notch by adding an extra layer of depth, whilst upping the flow with cleverly programmed drumming and his trademark FX elements, without destroying the essence of the main groove. His work deserves to be branded 'essential' in any sense of the word.
On remix duty, we welcome Canadian Jares for his debut on the label. Jares who is known for his melodic and refined sound, keeps the ethereal theme of the original alive, as the pulsating bass powers along, before its drum fills and general drive all combine to do the talking. Like something from yesteryear yet sounding totally fresh - This massive touch-up takes the energy quantities up a level and increases the drive with stripped-back and lucid elements before the energetic groove creates a blanket of warmth that will put a smile on your face.
The second remix comes courtesy of Italian duo Anido, who bring a deep melodic edge to “Echoes”. Their rework creates a good feel vibe from the word go, as the atmospheric and driving vibe keeps you moving with warm tinkling sounds, a smooth edge, and some nicely effected sounding pieces that continue building to culminate into this amazing groover. We basically have the formula for a bit of a monumental outing. The sparseness is the key here, as this restrained gem works its magic while it plays away, creating a stunning glow and an air of sophistication.
With the talent on offer, Oovation's Echoes manages to deliver a message of sustained musical relevance in emphatic fashion to warm the soul. Not to be missed! Echoes sees a worldwide release on March 1st, 2024 via all well-known digital content providers. Not to be missed!
