Blossom from Florilegia I by Bar.ba & hanami

Rising deep from the ICONYC vaults, a new anthology of tracks blossoms forth into the light as we proudly unveil the first installment in our newly-minted series, 'Florilegia'. Comprised of 8 spellbinding creations, our first delivery of 'Florilegia' features the sounds of Momery, Anido, Bar.ba & hanami (IT), Way of Thinking, Naeiiv, Baardman, Crudito Sava, and Vaert.

Our journey inside Florilegia commences with Way of Thinking, featuring Sofia Lorena, for our first link-up in 'Get Out Of My Way'. With a no-nonsense attitude, our kick-off goes all out with a skitterish frame and eerie sonic swells as it creates unbridled mayhem with every passing bar, setting the mood for the rest of the compilation. In our second act, it's Momery's electric 'Who Are You', where a galloping bassline treads over darkness before a neon-laced chord sequence lights up our way as we descend deep into 'Florilegia'.

For our third stop on the compilation, we uncover Anido's 'Elijah', which buries its way into our ears with its mechanical whirring and quirky synthetics as a hypnotic vocal works its magic between heavenly pads and acidic stabs. Following up, it's Baardman's 'Natura Ly', a showstopping piece where doppler-like synths swirl around us while dusty vocal chops infuse the cut with the right dosage of nostalgia.

Coming in hot on the halfway mark, we present Crudito Sava and the percussive masterpiece, 'Solskjaer'. A modern take on Afro-House, 'Solskjaer' has the sass to keep you going for ages with its compelling swing and a myriad of fucked-up effects. As we catch our last curve, we reveal Germany's Naeiiv and his 'Digital Human Scan'. Menacing, Naeiiv's latest creation is a stark piece that broadens the narrative of 'Florilegia' with its intermittent blips and tantalizing malfunctions.

For lucky number seven, we've got rising melodic talent Vaert with a perfect cut in 'What I Need'. Sophisticated through and through, Vaert's new track strolls with extreme cool as it gifts us with an exquisite blend of iridescent chords, dusky stabs, and irresistible vocal chops. Finally, on our last spot, we uncover Bar.ba & hanami's dreamy cut, 'Blossom'. An indispensable addition, the collaborative outing latches on to our hearts with its lo-sung bassline and airy ambiances that serve as a pedestal for rousing melodies to take their rightful place for a sublime send-off.

A quintessential compendium of modern club electronica, ICONYC's first installment of 'Florilegia' is a new north for the brand that places the bar higher than ever before with a gorgeous bouquet of sounds set to define the dancefloors for years to come.
