Icarus Mixtape #36: Dictaphone Listen Here!

Dictaphone, already formed in the late nineties in Berlin is back with a new album after five years of silence.
The new album ARP 70 features the three Dictaphone core members Oliver Doerell (electronics, bass, guitar), Roger Döring(saxophone, clarinet) and Alex Stolze (violins) and has been composed and produced over the course of three years. It feels as if each of the uncountable layers of which the intricate arrangements are made has just the right amount of contrast to be visible, but there are only very few moments where one of the elements noticeably dominates the others. The cool jazz bits, analogue flourishes, hypnotic rhythms and refined electronics feed a dark serpent-like creature meandering in ever-changing morphologies through shapeless landscapes. "APR 70" is the perfect cocoon for the hazy days and the serene nights. The play at 10 Years Icarus, 8/3/18

Icarus Mixtape #35: Andrea Belfi Listen Here!

We are very happy to present you "The last tears of an argonaut penguin”, a mixtape by Andrea Belfi.
He wanted to create a musical journey where happiness and sadness, drama and joyful moments are always dancing with each other. Belfi combined tracks he considers as personal classics (e.g. Ennio Morricone ‘Il Pinguino’) and new discoveries (e.g. Luka Productions ‘Furu Boyan’).
Italian-born Andrea Belfi is a drummer, composer and experimental musician. Artfully blending the acoustic with the electronic, his performances are equal parts energetic and hypnotic, featuring long-arching soundscapes that are rich and immersive. A live performer at heart, Belfi’s music comes to life on stage where he’s built a reputation for electrifying drum solos and off the cuff improvisations. He plays live at the 10th anniversary party of Icarus Radio.

Icarus Mixtape #9: Machinefabriek Listen Here

Rutger Zuydervelt was born on 28 July 1978 in Apeldoorn (The Netherlands), but now resides in Rotterdam. He started working as Machinefabriek in 2004.
Machinefabriek's music combines elements of ambient, noise, minimalism, drone and field recordings. His pieces unfold as 'films without image', with a sharp ear for detail. After releasing a series of self released CD-Rs, the official debut, 'Marijn', was issued by Lampse in 2006. Since then a solid stream of singles and albums was released on labels like Type, 12K, Spekk, Dekorder, Digitalis, Experimedia and Staalplaat.

Rutger collaborated (on record and/or live) with numerous artists, such as Ralph Steinbrüchel, Aaron Martin, Peter Broderick, Frans de Waard, Wouter van Veldhoven, Simon Nabatov, Xela, Simon Scott, Steve Roden, Gareth Davis and Tim Caitlin amongst others.
