Heîk is the solo project of the Mexican, Hugo Ibarra, who is no stranger to the label. With previous releases under other aliases such as Natural Flow and Øostil, we now have the pleasure of releasing his debut EP on the label under his new moniker.
¨Resilience¨ the opener track, is a beat-less intro, full of haunting melodies, pulsating synths and textures that play with each other building up a beautiful dark story. A perfect beginning to introduce us into the world of Heîk.
¨Apeiron¨ takes us to the dance-floor mood. A great groove, percussion and synths start building tension throughout the track, leading us to the main melody, which is a super catchy synth pattern, accompanied by textures, pads and glitchy sounds.
On the remix duties, Gardens of God, who has also released on the label on Odd Echoes’ V.A., reworks the track into a more energetic version, keeping the essence of the original, but adding a super catchy and fat synth, which takes us to another dimension.
To close the EP, Heîk presents another cut for the dance-floor, ¨Arcane¨, in which an ascending synth with an arpeggio style predominate through the whole track.
Melodies, pads and bass stabs play all along as the track keeps developing. ¨Halcyon¨ is the most emotional track of the EP, a perfect closure full of chords, textures and melancholic vibes, with subtle synths, that take you into the perfect trip.
Release date: October 15th, 2021.
