Following on from his debut LP on the imprint, Leyo makes a welcome return to Cecille with his 'Circus' EP, featuring collaborations with fellow label artist Easttown and vocalist Thierry Ganz.

In September of 2023 Dutch artist Leyo stormed onto the scene with his widely beloved 'Hello' LP, a project employing a depth of influences and straddling the lines throughout between soulful electro-pop and funk-infused disco jams, through to more raw house and sun drenched lounge cuts. Here returning with a fresh five- track EP, Leyo predominantly sonically leans into House music in its purest form.

Opening the EP is 'Circus feat. Easttown & Thierry Ganz', laid out across five and a half minutes with organic percussion, bulbous sub bass tones, spares sweeps and looped vocal chants. 'Hypnotize' follows next, laying down classic house tropes with bumpy bass stabs, swinging drums and choppy vocal lines throughout.

Opening the B-Side is 'Visions' ,embracing a more Disco House tinged aesthetic with funky guitar lines, delayed vocal murmurs, resonant swells and robust drums. The aptly title 'Sunrise' then offers up a dreamy stripped-back aesthetic with delayed guitar licks, breathy voices and minimalistic percussion. Lastly to conclude the package as a digital bonus cut, 'Sweat' leans back into the peak time with a French touch bass groove, dubbed out brass melodies, filter sweeps and a shuffled rhythm section.
