ICTV レコード& CD

Review: Interweaved yields the first volume of a new series curated by Brawther and one that underlines its credentials as an outlet for fresh new underground talent. Three producers here - Frederik Anthony, Mahar, and ICTV - were finalists in the 2023 "Minimal" Producer Challenge judged by Cassy, Losoul and Daniel Paul. Anthony opens with 'Interiddim', a lithe broken beat here through with warm chords. Mahar's 'Relaxed' is a silky and minimal dub tech cut and Omar Fayyad's 'A Mutual Thing' offers trippy late-night charm. Finally, ICTV's 'Oracle Night' is also deep and dubby but a little more menacing.

Review: Ltd B's good recent run of form continues with another dive into lush deep house realms courtesy of ICTV. First off the mark is 'Hit The Floor' with its US garage-inspired drums and some old school hip-house vocals. 'Orange Mood' is a steamy one with romantic melodies soothing the soul and some smart vocals adding a tough of firey soul. 'Adrift' then picks up the pace with some high-speed jungle breakbeats and 'Dazzling' sinks back into loved-up late-night sounds with expressive vocal yelps. Last of all, 'Sunset Recall' takes things down into blissed out realms with dusty drums and wispy pads.

Review: The Jacuzzi Days EP, a collaborative effort between ICTV and DIMSUM, is a captivating exploration of house music's diverse landscape. Released on the strong French label House Puff, the EP showcases the artists' mastery of atmospheric melodies and infectious rhythms. 'Morning Dew' sets the tone with its deep house vibes, complemented by ethereal vocals and a serene atmosphere. Rama To NY' transports listeners to the golden era of New York house with its nostalgic synths and energetic beats while 'United Freedom Inc' captivates with its pulsating bassline and groovy vocals. 'Jacuzzi Days' provides a mellow conclusion that is perfect for winding down the night. With its seamless blend of classic house elements and contemporary influences, Jacuzzi Days EP offers some great dancefloor house music.
