Murat Uncuolgu & Alican - No End [Isolate]

As we slowly emerge from social isolation, Isolate remains where it has always been: on its own unique path, delivering majestic electronic music from its base in Istanbul. And for this particular journey, the label's tenth release and its first vinyl release, Isolate bosses Murat Uncuoglu & Alican take the controls.

"No End" kicks off the march. Majestic, uplifting, and with just the right amount of triumph. It's loaded with spiraling hooks that make you reach further than your arms can stretch, see beyond what your eyes can see, and dream more than conventional reality usually allows. This is the sound of post-lockdown dancefloors worldwide.

"Patchwork" follows. A darker, more haunting piece of impeccable synth drama, with a pulsing bassline and all sorts of blossoming twists and turns. Within seconds, it ensures heads drop and bodies lock into the groove. Don't believe the title; this is utterly fluid…

And the same goes for the massive final track: "Big Wishes". It closes with a powerfully positive piece. "Big Wishes" takes all the strangeness and tension of the last four months, compresses it into a trippy, bizarre ball, and then launches it so high that it disintegrates into dust in the atmosphere. A truly climactic moment that will leave your audience wondering what hit them.

Three immense stories, two articulate narrators, one captivating label. Isolate remains on its own unique path.
