Work by Roger Martinez

Roger Martinez has developed a universally loved unique style; a dynamic, groovy, deep and hypnotic fusion of genres that perfectly fits in any kind of club or open-air festival. Roger releases have always received high acclaim - with support from the likes of Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Sasha, Cid Inc. and many more. For the remix edition of 'Work' on ICONYC we're excited to welcome Mononoid, Micheal & Levan and Stiven Rivic as well Erich von Kollar to bring us their take on this classic Roger Martinez track.

Adding to our list of all-star remixers, we brought in Mononoid, famed for their outstanding work on MicroCastle, Einmusika and Lost & Found. They also know a thing or two when it comes to mind blowing reworks, turning his mix into an irresistible track using the original elements with perfection. Their rework kicks things off nicely with its melancholic moodiness shining through as we meander effortlessly through progressive inspired melodies, while the sultry chords sit wonderfully on top. The duo takes it up a notch by adding an extra layer of depth, whilst upping the flow with cleverly programmed percussion and their trademark FX elements, without destroying the essence of the original. Their rework deserves to be branded 'essential' in any sense of the word.

Next up is the enigmatic trio Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic, fresh of their hugely successful 'Nostalgia' release on ICONYC. The trio are known for their polished and refined sound, they keep the ethereal theme of the original alive, as the pulsating bass powers along, before its drum fills and general drive all combine to do the talking. Like something from yesteryear yet sounding totally fresh - This mystical touch up takes the energy levels up a notch but increases the melancholy with stripped back and lucid elements at the same time, before the luscious groove graces the rework changing the vibe and creating a blanket of warmth that wraps around the effected.

The final remix comes courtesy of Stellar Fountain supremo Erich von Kollar, who brings a more progressive edge to 'Work'. His rework creates a good feel vibe from the word go, as the atmospheric and driving vibe keeps you moving with warm tinkling sounds, a smooth edge and some nicely effected sounding pieces that keeps building to culminate into a lovely progressive house groover. We basically have the formula for a bit of a monumental outing. The sparseness is the key here, as this restrained gem works its magic while it plays away, creating a stunning glow, creating an air of sophistication.

With the talent on offer, the remixes of 'Work' manages to deliver a message of sustained musical relevance in emphatic fashion to warm the soul. Not to be missed! Roger Martinez 'Work' sees a worldwide release on March 26th, 2018 via all well-known digital content providers. Not to be missed!
