IOMA RELEASES FIRST SINGLE ‘CLEO’ AHEAD OF FORTHCOMING EP

Out Now Across All Streaming Platforms

After a transformative five-year hiatus since his acclaimed remix of ’Sweet Disposition’ first hit the airwaves, Camille Luciani returns with a brand new project under his new sound profile, IOMA. Following the success of his innovative solar-powered livestream last year, which presented a track list of unreleased music that captivated over 400,000 viewers, IOMA now unveils the first cut, ‘Cleo’, in a series of upcoming singles which will form his debut EP, ‘VIRIDIS’.

‘Cleo,’ immediately immerses listeners in a gritty, industrial timbre that sets a powerful and intense tone for the offset. The richly dark soundscapes create a brooding atmosphere, seamlessly woven between haunting melodies that evoke a sense of mystery and depth. The hard-hitting percussion drives the track forward, while the melodic sequences add emotional complexity, making ‘Cleo’ a standout piece. This track is not just a listening experience but an emotional journey filled with depth and character that showcases IOMA's ability to blend hard-edged sounds with evocative musical storytelling.

 

“Have you ever been consumed by a burning force driving you towards the barriers that confine you? ‘Cleo’ is a relentless surge of energy propelling you towards liberation. I wanted to blend nostalgic melodies with deep and rumbling rhythms to create an experience that is both hypnotic and introspective.” - IOMA

Known for pushing boundaries in electronic music, IOMA's return promises to redefine the genre with a fresh, evolved sound. Each release in ‘VIRIDIS’ showcases Luciani's ability to weave intricate melodies and atmospheric textures, solidifying his status as a multifaceted force in the electronic music scene.

With releases on Steyoyoke Black, MOOD Records, and Renaissance Records, Camille has garnered worldwide acclaim for his authentic strain of melodic techno, and subsequently he has become a regular feature in the touring playlists of A-list DJs such as Pan-Pot, Dubfire, Paco Osuna, Joris Voorn, Sasha, John Digweed, and more. Favouring quality over quantity, Camille’s selective discography highlights only the most innovative cuts, with his 2024 comeback proving to be another special addition to his exceptional back-catalogue.

‘Shine’ follows KDYN’s debut single release ‘Amends’ on EMI, which drew praise from Wretch 32 and earned spots on playlists and BBC Radio rotations. Meanwhile ‘Go Back’ has been sealing the approval of tastemaker Sian Eleri on her BBC Radio 1 - Future Artists show as well as rotation from BBC Introducing and Kiss Bliss. All tracks showcase KYDN’s diverse musicality, blending garage, funk, soul, and hip-hop into a distinctive and genre-defying sound.

At just 18, British-Guyanese artist KDYN has already established himself as a dynamic force and a deftly talented producer and multi-instrumentalist. Born into a musical family with roots in UK Garage, KDYN's upbringing immersed him in the vibrant sounds of London's underground scene. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, from Funkadelic, Prince and Madlib to Lin Manuel Miranda, AMP Fiddler, Kanye West and anything in the realms of UKG, his sound is a testament to his eclectic and continually evolving taste. For latest single ‘Shine’ in particular, KDYN was inspired by Jai Paul and the mysterious sounding vocals he implements as well as drawing inspiration from current tastemakers like SAULT, Cleo Soul and Little Simz

Explaining the track in further detail KDYN shares, “Shine is a big mix of musical history poured into one, something quite accidentally achieved. It came together through pulling many different sounds together. Electronic music, garage, gospel and soul.”

KDYN’s intention is clear: to create funky edged feel-good anthems, harking back to early 2010s demos with pitched-up samples and dynamic rhythms –a sound of his own fusing to deliver a sonic that’s singularly his own. With his forthcoming EP that will bring his project of singles together next month, 2024 marks a significant milestone for this South London native.

That was the latest in a long line of fresh and captivating house singles that have long since proved he has a knack for innovative sounds on his own independent label Solotoko.  


For this one, Sonny Fodera teams up with singer/producer Jazzy once more having already worked with him to great acclaim on 'Life Lesson', whilst also collaborating with the likes of casso and Headie One on ‘Zeros’, Belters Only most famously on chart topper ‘Make Me Feel Good’, and releasing her debut solo album ‘Constellations’ with single ‘Giving Me’ peaking at no.3 on the UK Singles Chart.
