Ritchie Haydn - La Soufriere

Ritchie Haydn returns to ICONYC Noir with 'Le Soufriere' an absolute classy piece of music to get people dancing. The British producer has been a mainstay in the electronic underground with his meticulous curriculum of musical productions. Ritchie kick things off nicely with the original mix of 'Le Soufriere'. The melancholic moodiness shines through, as we meander effortlessly through club inspired melodies, while the sultry chords and vocal samples sit wonderfully on top adding an extra layer of depth. Ritchie's trademark beat manipulation is prevalent, as all manner of elements drift in and out of earshot while the lush melodies complete the picture. Perfect for any melodic loving club crowd and to get you in the mood for a big night out. Andrea Cassino, who has seen his releases featured on some of the world's best and beloved labels, returns to ICONYC Noir with a classy rendition of 'Le Soufriere'. He created a rework full of tension from the word go, as the atmospheric vibe subtly keeps you moving with warm tinkling sounds, a deep 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 his restrained gem works its magic while it plays away, creating a warm melodic glow with an air of sophistication. "Essential stuff!" Next up we welcome Florida resident Messier for another outing to the label, the US maestro, fresh off some smashing releases on both ICONYC & ICONYC Noir delivers a superb rework for some peak time madness. Known for his polished sound, he keeps the general structure of the original alive, as the pulsating bass powers along, before drum fills and general warmth all combine to do the talking. Like something from yesteryear, yet sounding fresh and upfront – His transcendent touch ups take the energy levels up a notch, but increases the melancholy and energy with stripped back and lucid elements at the same time, changing the vibe and creating a blanket of energy that wraps around a brilliant driving groove. Superb! With 'Le Soufriere' Ritchie Haydn really shows that there're no boundaries, as this beautiful melodic gem guides you to a full-on club laden, melodic hug of a release that will cause many smiles induced moments! 'Le Soufriere' sees a worldwide release on 1. March 2024 via all known digital content providers. Highly recommended!
