NAVID IZADI — Ayandelp 2x12"

Navid Izadi – AyandeLP SCE01 is a 2×12-inch vinyl set released on Silver Crown Entertainment, arriving on 13 November 2026. The posthumous debut album unites house foundations with an expansive, interstellar ambience, drawing on a network of collaborators to finish the vision Navid began before his untimely death. Its breadth—from deep-space opener to emotive close—offers a compelling narrative for both the dancefloor and the listening room. Although Silver Crown Entertainment’s broader catalogue is not detailed here, AyandeLP stands as a meticulously assembled family affair, with executive production and mixing by Dave Aju at Point Winona Sound Labs, mastering by Thomas Baanks of Psychemagick, and artwork hand-bedazzled by Sundeep Grewal. The release is dedicated to Navid’s son, Tesla, and functions as both a tribute and a completion of the artist’s unfinished work. Side A opens with “Birds Of Prey”, a deep, space-laden track that channels Navid’s signature soulful vibe. Live drums by John Bryars and additional production from Tavish DJ and Dave Aju (DX3) lift the vocoder-treated arpeggios into a celestial dimension. The momentum continues with “Diagnostics/Escape”, where Navid’s “Trans-LA Express” electro sensibility is pushed forward by cyborg-style vocals that weave a poetic love narrative, creating an entrancing second movement that feels like a true escape. “Andromeda” follows, benefitting from updated production by Charles Levine and harp contributions from Caroline Campbell, while a chorus of vocalists adds a layered, melodic lift. “Islands” shifts to a West Coast boogie groove, its lead vocal performance delivering a floor-filling charm. “Chica Go” pays homage to Chicago, blending deep-house undercurrents with hip-hop flair and subtle blues-jazz touches from harmonica and trumpet, creating a witty, genre-spanning moment. “IMX” serves as a mid-tempo interlude, its hypnotic texture offering a brief respite before “Keep It Movin” launches into a stratospheric build-up, anchored by a narrative intro and soaring vocal bridge. “Space Race” escalates the energy further, with Jesse Rennix’s vocal layers adding a celestial sheen, while “Fingertips” introduces an emotive duet that intertwines horn ribbons for a poignant close to the first disc. Side B begins with “Stardust”, a crisp co-production with C-Love that launches straight into cosmic territory, complemented by free-form vocal work from Sisters Of Z and a stylized lyrical intro from Navid’s brother, Aden Hakimi. The brief “Mm Mm” track showcases a new-jack shouting production style, acting as a bridge to the album’s finale. “Never” unfolds as a lush, multi-instrumental culmination: Navid’s own vocal presence is framed by harp, guitar, E-Bow, and a distinctive flute contribution, delivering a resonant, bittersweet closure that reflects both loss and celebration. Within Navid Izadi’s limited discography, AyandeLP is the sole entry, yet its collaborative nature situates it among a network of contemporary house producers and musicians who contributed to its completion. The record’s blend of deep-house grooves, interstellar synth work, and live instrumentation positions it as a distinctive statement in the current underground scene, echoing both classic house warmth and forward-looking electronic exploration. For DJs, the record offers a versatile toolbox: the opening “Birds Of Prey” and “Diagnostics/Escape” provide atmospheric intros for late-night sets; “Islands” and “Chica Go” deliver dancefloor-ready momentum with vocal hooks; “IMX” and “Mm Mm” function as effective bridges; and “Never” supplies a emotive closing that can serve as a set-ending anthem. Collectors will appreciate the depth of the family-driven production, the range of guest musicians, and the emotional weight carried by each cut. The release is pressed as a double 12-inch vinyl, matching the expansive tracklist and allowing each side to breathe. The format supports the album’s narrative flow, giving listeners the tactile experience of flipping between the interstellar and the grounded.
