An earthworm has five hearts. Humans have five senses. The Olympic flag has five rings. DJs have the circle of fifths. ICONYC are celebrating five years…
All throughout history, religion, maths, music and beyond, the number five has a powerful sense of meaning and poignancy… And it's a number that isn't lost on the Berlin / New York-based brand ICONYC. The first milestone moment that gives any true sense of perspective, five years is a special moment for any creative endeavour. Especially in the turbulent world of the 21st century music game.
Transcending trends, algorithms, diminishing attention spans, a global pandemic and everything else the world has thrown at us all, since 2016 ICONYC has grown from its humble roots to establish itself as one of the most trusted and exciting platforms in house and techno.
With its near-permanent residence in the Beatport Top 100 and a dizzying menu of spin-off operations from high-profile Red Bull TV series ICONYC TV to the ICONYC Production Academy, ICONYC has consistently stayed true to its vision: to champion the most exciting, authentic and innovative house and techno out there, to encourage the next generation, to celebrate the universal language of the dancefloor, and to craft special releases like this powerful mix from leading New York resident tastemaker Allies for Everyone.
Part 2 delivers 25+ tracks over the label's five years and featuring a who's who in progressive house and melodic techno, the mixes reflect the many sonic shades and moods of ICONYC. Allies for Everyone digs deep into the label's floor-focused melody-heavy techno and progressive vaults to deliver a timeless, emotive and enduring mix as he poignantly plots the coordinates between where ICONYC has been, where ICONYC is at and where ICONYC is heading.
With so much achieved in five years, and even bigger plans for the future, this is only the beginning for ICONYC; a label rooted by a timeless dance music spirit but powered by new gen energy. We take five. We high five. Here's to the next five years…
