Ivan Dbri and Wirik – Ibossim EP
New tech house from Mexican pairing on 530Techno. Includes free download of Oilpanic remix.
The EP’s title track is a lovely warm chiming piece of techno, with a smooth pace hardly suited to a dancefloor. Pick of the EP. Hypnose E Thanatos is a delicate synth driven thing, equaly unsuited to the rough boys on the dancefloor. The Oilpanic remix of Hypnose E Thanatos is a bit more angular and truer to the tech house description given to the EP. The Android Cartel remix of the title track is much colder and more digital than the original version. And in so doing loses something of the original version’s soul.

Blurb: Beautiful, melodic and dubbed out electronics are rooted in deep grooves perfect for warming winter dance floors. We welcome two wonderfully creative producers from Calgary, Ivan Dbri & Wirik, who open 2012 for us with their Ibossim EP.Ibossim and Hypnose E Thanatos both capture a dynamic landscape of digital technique and analog aesthetics. Balancing influences from tribal house, dub techno, post-classical and latin jazz, Dbri & Wirik create mesmerizing and highly musical dance floor arrangements rarely heard in main stream electronica.
Los Angeles duo, Android Cartel (NeuroTraxx Deluxe, Rawthentic, Sketchbook, NOICE!) are enlisted to remix and catapult Ibossim into a big room tech-house groover awash with huge reverbs, android dub stylings and top notch production. Riding the basic channel style strings from the original, OILPANIC remixes Hypnose E Thanatos into a deep late night shuffling slab of groovy techno.
