Effective period / Period of releases: 2021

Egon’s Embrace is a project by Mladjo Ivanovic, a US-based Serbian psychedelic trance producer. Egon's Embrace is a form of a personal therapy. He, himself, describes his project as an alter ego that enables him to bleed his heart out, scream, laugh and dance at the same time. As such, it is an ongoing metamorphosis that allows him to explore parts of his personality that are often impossible to explore in everyday life.

His music is very personal and expressive testimony to challenging, often harrowing periods that we all encounter during our lives. It is a combination of despair, melancholy, joy, hope and reflects a personal journey and arrival in a different (often positive) new place. The sonic vision and emotional honesty that drive my music is lush and intoxicating. He always felt drawn to organic ethos of Macedonian psychedelic trance scene, and up to date most of his influences stem from artists who have defined that sound.

In the end, although Egon's Embrace is drawn towards darker psychedelic sound, there is still a bit of a dreamer in it otherwise.
