AN93-Icebreaker [Coldharbour Black]

 

It is always great to discover new releases every month especially when there have been so many cool tunes already this year. One can never have enough music, being the dance music fiends that we are, we devour each amazing tune out there, eagerly awaiting the next! Here it is! 

Lithuanian artist Andrej Anskinas, widely known under his artist name "Anske", is one of those artists that continue to evolve and thrive in the scene, each tune he unleashes more beautiful than the next. He recently delighted us with the birth of a new alias he dubbed "AN93" which showcases his ties to a techier, darker side, an alter ego if you will. His previous single under this alias "Spacewarp", was greeted with much admiration when released on "Coldharbour Recordings" sub-label "Coldharbour Black". Now he is back once more on "Markus Schulz's" beloved imprint with the uber cool tune "Icrebreaker".

 High energy kicks, a hyped up percussion and a supercharged rhythm unfolds from early on. Dark grooves burst out into the open, while a semi-distorted synth takes control, engulfing it all like a dark, threatening cloud. The brief break arrives in due time, bringing with it moments of a temporary tranquility right before a rare transformation occurs. What was once peaceful and tranquil like serene, frozen waters, now becomes a tidal wave of a savage and aggressive power like the wrath of mother nature herself. The build is relentless, toying with our senses making us crave every beat while we find ourselves helplessly dancing in a feverish state!

 Huge release by "Anske" that will shatter the dance floors like a double headed axe through a frozen lake!

Anske-Miami Heat [Coldharbour Recordings]

 

Our beloved Lithuanian producer is back with a brand new tune just in time for the season. Andrej Anskinas is the artist in question and is mostly known under his artist name "Anske". This artist is surely one to watch for as he knows very well how to continue his slow but steady ascend in the wondrous world of dance music. A regular icon in the "Coldharbour Recordings" family, it is no coincidence that he has been there every step of the way, ever since his first release for the label (the all mighty "Epika E.P" ) which landed him a place on the label. His newest tune has been dubbed "Miami Heat" and most definitely must be an ode to the city itself, summer and the label. 

 From the very beginning a sort of turbulence and rush occurs as a frenetic percussion alongside the chugging basslines shakes things up, much like a train eager to arrive at its final destination. The bottled excitement arises as the journey unfolds, scorching melodies gradually join in alongside buzzing synths, like eager locusts, providing us with a sense of adventure, prolonging the drama and anticipation while the jaw dropping leads ultimately seize control taking us all home. 

Truly a tune that instills elements of positivity, radiance and hope within each and every listener. Another sure hit for Anske!
