1-Icy Nights(Orchestral mix)
2-Ice Nights(Original mix)
3-Icy Nights(Club mix)
4-Winter Rain(Original mix)

  Farhad Mahdavi takes us back to our roots with his debut E.P. which features 2 originals full of energy, emotion and pure uplift!

Icy Nights centres around a heartwarming, orchestral break that will whisk you away to another world before its rapturous melodies and powerful lead pull you firmly back down to earth!

Winter Rain picks up where its counterpart left off, delivering a full-on dose of driving euphoria! 




Dimitri Kechagias review: The Bristol based record label Perceptive recordings presents his newest release that starts 2013 in great style. Farhad Mahdavi offers his vision of straight forward uplifting trance that will touch you deeply for sure. His orchestral mix is a brilliant chill out loungy cinematic version that will make you feel light like a feather and will travel your mind to many places and spaces.  Icy Nights in its original version is a magnificent euphoric slice of feel goodness. His breakdown is so well composed that when you close your eyes you will be able to see mental images that you didn't know even that exist. Very cinematic and emotional with depth and sensitivity. When the beat comes back Farhad pushes the track to the next level with his melodic inspirational climax that is driving and will lift your spirit without even thinking about it. It will remind you the classic Anjunabeats sound. The Club mix is a much more stronger and tighter rendition of the original with equally breathtaking breakdown with main difference the use of drum roll to build the excitement and drive the crowd crazy.  Lastly Winter Rain is such a nice track that follows the massive hands in the air uplifting trance style and manage to accomplish his task pretty impressive with a very strong little synthy line in the background and great atmospheric breakdown and full on in your face climax to give the pay off moment you are asking for. Love iT!
