After the sensational success of Ikaro Gratis first release on our label in January the artist returns with a brand new EP on Traum. "Burmese Days" kicks off with the same titled track. Pounding drums and percussions announce a ceremonial piece of electronic techno.Unpolished loud synths break into a symphony of hypnotic and rhythmic styled sounds and proclaim a unique exotic techno feel! Ikaro Gratis soulfulness is revealed once and again through this fantastic tour de force of various colors, different moods and movements a hell of a fantastic clash you wont want to miss.
"Homage to Catalonia" begins with mighty beats but is reluctant with its sounds but then in the course of the track evolves through a fantastic build up. This includes grande piano melodies sensuous percussion and a lot of techno power.
"Ikigai" kicks of with a throb of a beat and a firework of percussion before it plunges into an Ikaro Grati made hypnotic state. Wailing sounds alternating with forceful synths pay tribute to an emotional roller-coaster of different moods that are unmatched with anything we have heard recently.
"Sangfugl" connects to Ikaro's last EP with a more fierce dark mood minimalist groove and brooding sounds that will be perfect for the fans of his first EP.
