Alf Bamford has been rocking clubs as a professional DJ for over a decade now, playing hard dance under his 'Technikal' moniker and hardcore under 'Technikore'. He is also a very talented and well established producer of many styles with his biggest recent accolade, being asked to be co-producer on chart smashing Example's latest album 'Live Life Living'! Alf now dons a new guise titled 'Ikorus' for his latest tech-trance productions, which to be honest have completely blown us away at Outburst HQ! With razor sharp production, a slight doff of his hat to the classic tech-trance sound, and a big slice of originality & edginess, we present this new EP to you! It's made up of 2 absolute BOMBS called 'Grooveshank' and 'Nine Lives', with the latter being debuted by Mark at #ASOT007. Check these out!
Release date: 06/04/15
Dimitri Kechagias review: Outburst Records is the top label that the trance scene needed desperately. The exceptional tech trance Scottish label manage to become the homebase of many excellent talents who deliver tunes that simply will blow any dancefloor. The latest one comes from Ikorus who delivers two must have tech trance burners Grooveshank and Nine Lives. Grooveshank is an exceptional driving highly energetic prime time spanker with heavy techy drums, punchy basslines and superb high nrg synths that manage to add the track its more euphoric tone. The breakdown reveals wide variety of fluorescent synths along with that dirty deadly electro infused synthy hook. The climax is hands in the air and dark and moody at the same time. It's perfect for trance and even melodic techno dj sets. Nine Lives adopts a tougher drum arrangement with aggressive bassline that drives the track forward with that electroish freaked out riff again that we have tasted on Grooveshank. Top breakdown with sunkissed piano melody that raise the hair from your back and awake your senses straight away. The synthy plucks support well the outstanding euphoric feeling that doesn't last for long as the beat strikes back in true tech trance style with great rhythm that make you want to dance and let the pressure go away. Two must play dancefloor destroyers! #PureGold Love It
