Layer upon layer of sound creeps from the heart of Idriss D's "RIP Ouarda," until, finally, villainous vocals unleash a welcomed discomfort. Hybridizing a handful of some of the most iconic dance music genres, the Italian producer's distinctly wicked sounds are the result of a music career that has spanned over a decade.Head honcho at Memento Records, resident DJ at both Italy's Cocoricò Riccion and Amnesia Milano, and artist manager at DB Artists Musique, Idriss will soon have a debut album to add to his jam-packed curriculum vitae. Titled Amalgamation, the LP will be a musical tell-all of personal moments from the last few years. This is includes "RIP Ouarda," which Idriss says is in honour of his late grandmother.Shoving intimate concepts into a danceable tempo may be unusual in a genre that prides itself on pure escapism, but for Idriss, keeping listeners mentally engaged is an important part of the experience.Amalgamation will be released via Memento Records on December 18.Idriss D is on Facebook // Twitter // SoundCloudRebecca is on Twitter.
