Hardware obsessives CYRK have previously remixed label head Jorkes on Permanent Vacation and contributed a standout track to Queer Base vol.2 back in Spring. With those and other releases on Live at Robert Johson, Polari Records and Childhood, 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.
CYRK’s ‘Infusion’ comes on Freeride Millenium on December 13th 2024.
