There is something magnetic about a remix that respects the original while quietly pulling it into a deeper lane. Iman Deeper’s take on MPathy’s Pace does exactly that. Released on Deed Music in May 2025, the rework stretches into a 5:45 deep, hypnotic melodic techno journey built on rolling bass and emotive synth layers. If you have been chasing that late-night Berlin feeling lately, this one sits right in the pocket.
Iman Deeper’s path into electronic music started far from the clubs he now calls home. Growing up in Tehran, his love of house music had to stay underground. Non-traditional sounds were not freely performed or produced, so the early years were shaped by secrecy and determination. He eventually left Iran and landed in Rome, where he sharpened his craft under the moniker La Roca. That period gave him the technical tools and the space to chase the sounds he had been imagining. From there the move to Berlin felt almost inevitable. The city has long been the land of house and techno, and it welcomed him as both a producer and a DJ who had already been working since around 2006 and releasing since roughly 2008.
Along the way he has performed across Germany and composed music for high-profile clients including Audi Deutschland and Vice Magazine. In 2021 he launched Deed Music, the imprint that now serves as home for his own work and for a community of up-and-coming electronic artists. The label has become a steady presence in the melodic house and techno world, and Pace sits comfortably inside that catalogue. The original by MPathy arrived on the same release, and Iman Deeper’s remix is the version that leans further into the hypnotic side of the genre.
Melodic techno has spent the last few years becoming one of the most reliable late-night languages in electronic music. It keeps the four-on-the-floor drive of techno while letting melodies and atmospheres breathe. Rolling basslines give the track physical weight, and layered synths carry the emotional charge that makes the genre travel so well from clubs to headphones. Berlin remains one of the global centres for this sound, and artists who move between producing, DJing and running labels keep feeding the scene new material. Iman Deeper’s background gives him a clear ear for both the underground energy he grew up with and the polished, emotive textures that define current melodic house and techno releases.
On the remix itself the focus stays on atmosphere and motion. The rolling bass supplies the forward momentum while the emotive synth layers keep the track from turning purely functional. At 128 BPM it sits in a range that works for both peak-time sets and the slower build of a longer set. The original by MPathy already carried a sense of high-frequency energy and movement; the remix takes that foundation and stretches it into something more immersive and hypnotic. It is the kind of track that rewards a full listen rather than a quick skip, the sort of production that rewards DJs who like to let a groove settle in before pushing the energy higher.
Deed Music continues to platform both established names and newer voices across electronic genres, and this collaboration shows the label’s strength in pairing complementary styles. MPathy has already remixed Iman Deeper’s work in the past, so the connection runs both ways. The result is a clean, focused melodic techno cut that feels at home on the dancefloor and in a focused listening session.
