Arctic Sunset / Overmode
Erik Iker, better known to our listeners as Ikerya Project is back to Pulsar Recordings with an outstanding two track EP release. Arctic Sunset is the first track in this EP that starts off with a dreamy voice chop that makes it a key element in a whole track, giving us that ethereal trance feel that builds up together with echoing synths. The breakdown introduces a new plucked melody that goes off bigger and bigger turning into a solid big lead that builds away and drops us again with those plucks we started out, only to build up again. Overmode is the other half of this EP and is a more progressive trance work. The arrangement style is very similar to the Arctic Sunset as you will hear chopping vocals once again, only this time those leads are quite different, and Overmode drops into a real progressive trance tune once you hear its drop.
