Icarus Pick Up Pace in Paraleven Remix
Paraleven made his grand debut on Rose Avenue in April with “Lucid”—which has since been revealed as a part of his upcoming album, ‘Apollo’. UK duo Icarus now take up the torch in the path to ‘Apollo,’ twisting the YouTube Music-charting single into a high octane composition fit for peak time on the dancefloor. From the ground up, the mellow original version is reconstructed. Its subtle harmonic progressions are placed center stage atop fervent kicks and a resonant bassline, making for a piece that stands completely on its own.
Icarus are longtime veterans on the Rose Avenue family and friends of RÜFÜS DU SOL, having supported the band on earlier tours and contributing various remixes to the imprint. This relationship thus makes them sensible additions to the Paraleven remixing fold. Icarus’ legacy beyond their work with the Aussies is vast, however. In under half a decade, the duo clocked in an Essential Mix, have made a name for themselves on Anjunadeep with heralded releases like ‘Unfold,’ and run their own label in Fly Boy Records. Keep watch as more tour dates are unveiled for 2022, with their February gig at Village Underground already almost sold out.
