Dark, brisk and propelled by momentum, the double EP moves through somber tonalities, layers of bleeps and shifting cadences, all held together by a distinctly sculptural arrangement. From its opening moments, driving low ends establish the foundations for a dense sonic landscape to develop. Textures gather and multiply around tight rhythmic structures: chased hi-hats cut through layers of organic frequencies, while alluring sub-basses sustain a constant sense of motion. On the B side, ‘Space’ disrupts familiar patterns of listening, creating an explosive tension between repetition and surprise. Moving into the third disc, high-pressure atmospherics give way to more scintillating, recursive intricacies, drawing the listener into a heads-down, eyes-shut state where minute alterations continually reshape the space around them. Towards its closing stretch, the bleeps continue to unfold, tracing glossy contours through its hazy environment. On ‘Truth’, these elements assume a more dream-textured sensuality, evoking the fantasy of a hidden realm without losing sight of the drive running throughout. Finally, the title track brings the album’s narrative full circle on a softer note, as hopeful chords fill the air and leave its closing moments suspended in a more luminous dimension. Teeming with detail yet firmly shaped for club use, ‘In Cycles’ unfolds as an immersive and technically assured long-form statement. ___ DISCLAIMER: All tracks are uploaded in a low quality for promotional purposes only and with buy links to respect label and artists.
