Akiva & Aquariox - Promethean

For the final release of 2023 and to close out another outstanding year we welcome Aquariox & AKIVA for their debut release on ICONYC Noir. With their long-awaited debut, the duo delivers a slice of feel-good club vibes titled 'Promethean'. A grooving progressive melodic roller, fusing chord stabs with string ensembles and clinical percussion with a beautiful driving lead line are the name of the game. 'Promethean' 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. "Essential stuff!" from Aquariox & AKIVA. The first rework comes courtesy of Swedish producer John Keding, who created a rework full of tension from the word go, as the club stimulated vibe keeps you moving with warm tinkling sounds, a smooth edge and some nicely effected sounding pieces. 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 warm glow, creating an air of sophistication. Next up is label regular Arnaud Cordova. The Frenchmen is known for his polished progressive sound, keeps the ethereal theme of the original alive, as the pulsating bass powers along, before its drum fills and general warmth all combine to do the talking. This transcendent touch up takes the energy levels up a notch, but increases the melancholy with stripped back and lucid elements at the same time, before the luscious pads grace the rework changing the vibe and creating a blanket of warmth that wraps around the effected groove. Last but not least we have a massive remix from another Björn Fogelberg. The Swedish producer delivers a trademark club infused progressive house rework with infectious chords, deep drums and euphoric breakdown. It's all about the groove, cool vibes and the club beats that are working their magic around Björn wonderfully arranged keys that create an irresistible vibe while taking the mind on a trip. With 'Promethean' Aquariox & AKIVA really show that there're no boundaries, as this beautiful melodic inspired gem guides you to a full-on melodic hug of a release that will cause many smiles induced moments and close out what has been another memorable year on ICONYC Noir in style! 'Promethean' sees a worldwide release on December 15th, 2023 via every well-known digital content provider. Not to be missed.
