French progressive maestro Jickow recently returned to his home label, Olympe Music, with another slick double-sider, Escapism / Echoes. Both tracks encapsulate the essence of Jickow’s darker, peak-time-primed sound, contrasting his last EP, Nóstra Dóna De La Gárdia, which boasted rich, ethereal sonic textures.

The project leads with “Escapism,” an immersive journey through haunting melodies and driving rhythms that create a sense of otherworldliness. The pulsing bassline and intricate percussion weave together seamlessly to create a hypnotic atmosphere that is both introspective and euphoric. “Echoes” takes us on a more uplifting journey with its soaring synths and driving beat. The melody evokes a sense of hope and triumph, while the intricate percussion creates a sense of movement and progression. An ode to the parties hosted at Ibiza’s prolific underground club DC10, the track aims to encapsulate the essence of its legendary clubbing experience.
