The sixth release from the Early Morning, run by Guy J, seamlessly upholds the reputation for quality while enriching its catalog with another standout addition. This time, the spotlight falls on Cypherpunx, a UK-based production duo comprising Douglas Horner and Tim Belcher. Since 2019, Horner and Belcher have released on some of the most esteemed labels, yet this marks their first collaboration with Early Morning.
The lead track, Cyclone, is a masterclass in dancefloor energy, offering a meticulous blend of vintage influences and cutting-edge studio techniques. Its fluid, hypnotic arrangement weaves atmospheric textures, sci-fi-inspired effects, and ethereal vocal chants, resulting in an immersive sonic character. Psychedelic nuances elevate the composition, evoking a sense of transcendence while maintaining a crisp, modern production aesthetic.
Closing the release is a remix by Khen, a prominent figure in the electronic music scene whose work continues to gain industry acclaim. His reinterpretation of "Cyclone" preserves the essence of the original while introducing a unique perspective shaped by his signature sound. By juxtaposing primal tribal percussion with an intricate and cerebral approach to sound design, Khen highlights the emotional core of the melody, presenting it in a fresh and compelling light.
