Raise the alarm! Sound the Essential Tunes Klaxon!! (adopts Manc drawl): Call the Cops!!! Yes siree, 'tis true – the inimitable D-Nox and Beckers are back on Selador! And they have a special guest in tow! The Dynamic Deutsche Duo has delivered several stellar contributions to the Seladorian catalogue – and this latest double-header is a very welcome and characteristically powerful return, with Lexer the cherry on the icing on the collab cake. 'True Peak' is true peak time (but of course). It rocks straight from the off, as a burbling bassline explodes out of the starting blocks, all mean, moody and magnificent. Slowly but oh-so surely it is aided and abetted by a veritable plethora of memorable hooks, starting with a breathy snatched vocal, building to a keyboard riff from the techno gods. Uh-oh! Lexer has been added to the squad, and all bets are off. 'Conquista' is set to conquer all in its path. Everything about this tune will make you smile broadly and shake yer hips without even realising. From the so infectious congo-esque intro via the jittering one note riff, funky percussive frills and squelchy bassline to the ravemungous hands in the air crescendo, it's a dancefloor call to arms.

Ushering in a new cycle, ICONYC's latest compendium of tracks blossoms forth with the third installment of our 'Florilegia' series. Comprised of 14 spellbinding creations, our latest delivery features the sounds of Ae:ther; Pole Position; Argia; Alphadog; Max Menaged & Adassiya & matteomie; AIKON; Island Hill & Marc Gonen; Khainz & ZENØN; Lexer; Stil & Bense; Agustin Giri & Gespona; Deniz Tekin & Tolu & Aliot; Jordan Lev & Nael; and Convolute. The first specimen in this Florilegia is planted by Ae:ther with "N59", a rare act where mangled vocals bloom towards the intermittent lights before being swept by throbbing workhorses in a roaring opening. In our second act, Pole Position's "Take Me Home" invites us to a tantalizing midnight seance led by smoldering vocals and wonky synthetics. For our third presentation, we uncover Argia's "Silo", a state-of-the-art creation where broken melodies come alive, drawing unique shapes in the dark. Next up, Alphadog delivers a powerful statement with "This Is How I Feel", a masterclass in restraint before soulful vocals take center stage in a declaration of independence. Exhibiting our fifth piece, Max Menaged & Adassiya & matteomie step up with "STOP!", where rousing vocals drift over meandering swells and clipped hats before dissolving into the ether. Later, AIKON's "Mama" explores a thunderous landscape in a genre-bending experiment that transcends frontiers for the ultimate rush. Closing our first half, Marc Gonen & Island Hill team up for "Running Into You", a sleazy cut that unfolds over twilight as crooning vocals rummage across the night in search of something more. Running into the halfway mark, Khainz & ZENØN lead the charge with "Proxima", a slow-burning delivery where lush vocals and gated synths shimmer somewhere high in the clouds. Then, Lexer goes for a more primal feel with "Noctara Sun", as textured percussive patterns run next to restless sequences under the midnight sun. In our tenth chapter, Stil & Bense kick things into gear with "Data Dreams", a driving piece that delivers sharp turns and cascading synths over chopped vocals for an unbridled rush of blood to the head. Next up, Agustin Giri & Gespona take us "Cruisin''" with controrting leads that traverse over metallic explosions and undulating synths that bend beyond imagination. Our twelfth entry finds the trifecta of Deniz Tekin, Tolu & Aliot coming together for "Cause Happen", as Eastern airs come into the picture for a most eclectic feel under arid suns. Heading for the final turn, Jordan Lev & Nael deliver an unforgettable "Soiree" with a dynamic act that sees acidic lines corroding their surroundings as the beat goes on. Finally, Convolute takes us home with the aptly named "Close", a nostalgic piece that finds anchor in emotional depth and spellbinding nuance to wrap up another quintessential installment of Florilegia.
