Hardware obsessives CYRK have previously been remixed by label head Jorkes and contributed a standout track to Queer Base vol.2 back in Spring. With those and other releases they have fomented a signature sound that blends techno with Italo. It draws on their skills in the live arena as well as a deep-rooted chemistry and love for rave music in all its forms.
Superb opener Peek A Boo is a love-drenched sound with bright Italo melodies and smeared pads. There is widescreen cosmic energy in the melodies while the dusty mid-tempo house drums bounce at an inviting pace.
New Millenium is another retro-future trip to the stars with a mix of bright, busy keys and more rugged synth lines. The drums are snappy and tinged with early Chicago rawness, which means that this classy and emotive party starter makes a real impact.
The magical and bubbly Euphoria is a more serene sound with thought-provoking chords suspending you above the analogue drums and acid-tinged bassline as wispy melodies bring things to life in HD colour.
