Niklas Harding pres. Arcane - Ice Beach

Wow. Heard this the other night on GDJB in NYC. This track blew me away. Incredible groove and a very catchy melody. Reminds me of Probspot and Perry O'Neil.

I'd give it an 8.5/10.

I have been in love with this tune since I first heard it on ASOT 194...
Great melody, Great track by Niklas...
8.5/10 also

I liked Blue Circles, but Ice Beach sounded too much like Blue Circles (same sounds). It's not a bad tune, but I think it would be cool to make it a bit more original. Before I heard Ice Beach, Blue Circles sounded quite unique to me, but now it doesn't
6/10 imho

there actually is a pretty big difference production wise on those 2 tracks, but ofcause some elements are kept in the same style, thereby they go under the same alias

im sure ul like some of the other stuff i have in the pipeline, more banging things under another alias!

and thanks for the comments! just glad a few people likes the tracks

This song friggin rocks. Uplifting Prog Trance at it's highest degree right here. Niklas/Menno.... keep it up gentleman

BTW, this song is by Niklas Harding and not Niklas Harding/Menno De Jong. They just produce same genre and are booming right now. 99% of us know that but for that 1%, just want to clear that up.

So, I was listening to the HUGE episode of GDJB that Markus Schulz threw down in NYC a few weeks ago with the help of Gabriel and Dresden. My dad, who never otherwise says anything about my music, stuck his head in the room and said "that one sounds cool". Guess what track was playing? Haha. Ice Beach! Caught me completely off guard.

Niklas: Tell Tilt to get the remix finished... I need this tune!

Someone commented in the Blue Circles thread that the track had an Andy Moor feel to it. I hope he creates a fresh new sound soon.

I persoanlly love every element of Ice Beach, besides the extremely weak melody. Don't get me wrong, it's well written but i'm not a huge fan of what key it was done in. I feel it has no place in a track with such a strong bassline and driving feel to it. I dunno, maybe he was going for the soft emotional track

Anyways, hopefully Niklas' sound will mature into something original as I feel he has a lot of potential to create some amazing tracks

Arcane? The same Arcane as in "Arcane - Somewhere (Dave Swayze Remix)"?

nope, not the same

Tis a very beautiful track. Markus spun it when he was in SF in June. I was so stunned by the melody all I could do was just nod my head. Great work Niklas Harding.
