Leveldva is an organic house record label run by George Topuridze and Geju who also head up the international events series of the same name. Its roster features music by people ranging from Acid Pauli to Just Emma and the label’s new release is an EP by IV-IN.

IV-IN is a talented producer and vocalist who blends haunting, melancholic lyrics with organic percussion and enchanted melodies to create tracks that are both soothing and psychedelic.

This is IV-IN’s debut release on Leveldva, but he has previously featured on other scene-leading record labels such as Cafe De Anatolia, Underyourskin Records, Magician On Duty and The Gardens of Babylon. He is also a talented DJ who is well-known within his local club scene in Romania.

This five-track release has storytelling qualities that give it the feel of a mini album.

“The Moon is Rising” is a low-slung track with looped guitar chords and mesmerising vocals that create a laidback vibe underpinned by stripped back percussion.

“Crawling on My Knees” has a pulsating bassline and poignant piano chords that lay a foundation for love sick vocals layered with the muffled sound of shuffling percussion.

“Run to the River” is another minimalistic cut with trippy vocals and the distorted sound of sleazy guitar chords that add to the track’s dark and moody atmosphere.

“Save Us” has an ominous bassline and acid synth line that sets the tone for the eerie vocals and grungy guitar chords that flow over the thump of the kick drum.

“Insane” is an atmospheric track that layers sparse percussion with lo-fi trumpets and a delicate guitar to create a spooky soundscape on which the ghostly vocals are nestled.

Traum-V281

Garnee ‘ImPerfection’

Artist: Garnee
Title: ImPerfection
Label: Traum
Cat. #: Traum V281
Release Date: 21st April 2023
Tracklist:
1. ImPerfection
2. Morning Dance
3. I Wan’t Ya

Garnee’s debut on TRAUM!

Garnee is a new name in the electronic scene but the actual person behind the moniker has had a career full of releases already in the world of music production. He actually managed to write a no 1 hit in the British charts with his club version “Love Machine” by Supermax in 1989 and was a producer in demand. He was involved in the Frankfurt techno scene in the early 90ies and 2000 producing his music in the same production house as Sven Väth, Pascal F.E.O.S, Mark Spoon and others. Now he is back with what is his own private Idaho of contemporary electronic music with his new name Garneee.

Experience his 3-track “ImPerfection” EP which highlights his skilled thought out technique of producing top notch minimalistic melodic techno.

The EP kicks off with the track “ImPerfection”. A track that celebrates the deepest chords on earth and needless to say you can find here fantastic spacious reverbs that expend time and create a perfect comfort zone in a bubble. Definitely an easy one to loose yourself in. Deep rooted house music at its best.

To call “Morning Dance” a true 303 track could be misleading. The funky 303 baseline delivers a key element but there is more to this track as it progresses. The sense of deepness is expressed here as well and becomes a core subject of the track. “Morning Dance” is a perfect monotone hypnotic sunset track, steady going with a small intermezzi.

“I Wan’t Ya” is the closing track of the EP featuring a funky rhythm monster loaded with different parameters that keep a nervous energy throughout the track that keeps your feet in motion. The most minimalist track of this EP for sure.
