Erdi Irmak – Return of the Wolf [ICONYC]

John Johnson's ICONYC imprint returns after a one week hiatus by welcoming Erdi Irmak to the label for a brand new single. The Turkish artist has been a firm favourite in the progressive underground for some time. Key releases on Balkan Connection, Dopamine Music, MNL and Sound Avenue have all been sensational and his debut for ICONYC has been much anticipated.

Beginning with the title and showcase piece 'Return of the Wolf' we see Erdi crafting another crossover bomb which has already been causing a stir amongst DJs. The design is quite unique with filtered acid stabs and bubbly electronics giving the piece a very aquatic feel. Overall it's quite round and the buzzing low end, although understated powers it nicely. The magic moment comes in a stripped down second act with dreamy pads and spooky, mallet-like motifs setting up a tactful build and big finale. Certainly one of Erdi's most unique productions to date.

The release concludes with 'Ancestors' which is a much deeper and complementary construction. Anchored by rolling slabs of bass the piece flows through clap delays and lovely drum fills before unleashing some fresh rhythmic hooks. It's pretty late night in mood for the most part until the main break, which does bring sizeable amounts of drama and unique design which definitely grabs your attention, ultimately setting up a full and free flowing conclusion. Two very unique cuts from Erdi which make for a great and long overdue debut on ICONYC. Don't miss it.
