CYPHON

Operating at the intersection of club functionality and cerebral sound design, London-based artist Anoesis has steadily built a reputation for forward-thinking electronic music that feels as at home in the warehouse as it does in the headphones. Drawing on strands of techno, house, breaks and rave futurism, Anoesis’ productions are defined by tough rhythms, immersive atmospheres and a restless, exploratory spirit.

Here, we present his 3rd EP for Cyphon and we find him in fine form. The Idios Kosmos EP is a five-track statement that dives deep into Anoesis’ own sonic universe — dark, euphoric, twisted and intensely physical — designed for late nights, early mornings and everything in between.

Opening track Idios Kosmos sees Anoesis in full nocturnal club mode. Tough, driving beats underpin shimmering strings and mechanical synth arpeggios, while a darker-toned, speaker-wobbling sub bass locks the track firmly into peak-time territory.

Reptile Skin pushes further into shadowy, other-worldly space. A rolling bassline and crunchy, propulsive groove form the backbone, while glitched-out sonic details and off-kilter processing inject a twisted edge that sounds immense on a big system.

Flipping over, we find Feeling Go which picks up the pace and lifts the mood, combining a euphoric, looped-up vocal sample with a driving, housey groove. Tripped-out synth lines spiral overhead, delivering a rush of hands-in-the-air energy without losing the EP’s left-field sensibility.

Next up, Big Noodle heads straight into breakbeat territory, chopping and reshaping classic breaks into a futuristic take on 90s rave. It’s high-energy, raw and playful, fusing old-school reference points with modern production muscle.

Closing out the EP is Lonely, the gentler and more introspective finale. Pitched-up vocals, clipped beats and scratched fills keep the rave DNA intact, but the mood turns inward, winding things down with a cerebral, reflective atmosphere that lingers long after the record stops spinning.

Idios Kosmos EP is a bold, cohesive release that captures Anoesis at their most confident — a deep dive into a personal club universe where darkness, euphoria and experimentation coexist.

Welcome aboard. The voyage continues….

Cyphon Recordings presents the latest release from Berwick, a Sheffield by Bristol producer and DJ carving out a reputation for razor-sharp electro and forward-thinking club sounds. With a background steeped in underground electronic music, Berwick has steadily built his name through a string of uncompromising releases and energetic live and DJ sets, blending the grit of classic electro with a modern, rave-inspired touch. His new EP showcases his most refined work yet - four tracks built for the floor, designed to move bodies and shake systems.

Opening with "Fall & Melt", Berwick sets the tone with a punchy, contemporary electro cut. Its driving percussion, crisp groove, and propulsive energy make it a peak-time weapon, balancing raw dancefloor impact with seriously fat production finesse. Next up, "Powerflip" dives deeper into the shadows. Gnarly synth lines, guttural bass, and clipped vocal hits collide to create a darker, more menacing side of Berwick’s electro vision. With eyeball-rattling low-end, it’s a track that demands a big system to unleash its full force.

On "Impossible", Berwick shifts gears into an even faster lane. Elasticated bass and synths bounce around the crisp drum groove, pushing the pace with an adrenaline-fuelled rhythm that’s as urgent as it is infectious. Rounding off the EP, fellow Bristolian Sam Lester takes "Powerflip" into new territory with a remix that leans towards wonky tech house. Stripping back some of the raw menace of the original, Lester reshapes it with a 4/4 kick, layering in hypnotic textures and a slick low-end that makes it a tripped-out weapon for house and techno sets alike.

This release cements Berwick’s position as an artist unafraid to push electro into bold and uncompromising spaces, while also opening the door to cross-genre interpretations.

Loxodrome is the alias of UK producer Jamie Odell aka Jimpster for his more electronic leanings into the fault lines between nostalgia and circuitry. Rooted firmly in the underground, his Loxodrome output filters the spirit of early 90s IDM through contemporary patchwork - equal parts introspective and rhythm-driven. With a love for crunchy 808 patterns and synth-heavy emotion, Loxodrome’s sound orbits the traditions of electro and machine soul without ever settling into one or the other.

From the midst of patch cables and the glow of blue backlit LED screens, he returns to Cyphon with a 4-track mind-melter that leans hard into the ghostly circuits of Detroit electro and the dream logic of Warp’s Artificial Intelligence era. The EP finds its pulse in fractured grooves, modular fuzz and deeply alien melodies.

'More Alive' kicks off the release incorporating skittering percussion and a shuffled house groove whilst drifting synth swells add a sense of melancholia. Aurora Devereux delivers an otherworldly spoken word vocal which helps to anchor the track despite the fractured breaks and modular squelch’s best attempts to knock things off course.

Next up, 'Gobbledygook' brings a sense of controlled chaos with deconstructed speech fragments and spiraling synths bending IDM tropes into new forms. It’s a heady, tongue-in-circuit ode to the glorious nonsense of machine consciousness.

Flip over for 'Call Me' where ghostly whistles sing over a unrelenting 4/4 kick whilst tropical samples combine with vintage synths like a love letter left on a dial-up modem. Nostalgic, yes. but warped through future tense.

The EP closes out with 'Rubbery Duck', a real fusion of sounds and moods with its pulsing modular sequence bouncing off an elasticated bassline like a sentient toy in a zero-gravity rave. A curveball ender with bite!
