Cygnus

For this @DarkScienceElectro Rewind, we take a listen to a track from the maiden voyage of seminal label @CPUrecords by Electro master @Cygnus 

Phillip Washington is an electronic musician based in Texas. His influences include Electro, IDM, experimental hardcore bass, and more. His technical approach mixes the versatility of software with the touch and feel of hardware to create a timeless mixture of electronic beats and melody. Cygnus has been producing music under this alias since 2011 and has brought us some of the freshest Electro of the last decade. He manages to pay homage to classic Electro, while at the same time pushing the genre forward. There is a certain feeling of soulfulness that can be heard in his music that, I think, isn't matched by anyone before or currently.

Electro Rewind: Cygnus - District Nights (2012)

Rise Black - Your Tears

https://funkscapes.bandcamp.com/album/eoism-live-funkscapes-011

@eoism live. 60 minutes of pure electro bliss on tape. The duo from Jena and Leipzig respectively recorded a live set with lots of unreleased and soon to be released tracks. From darker tunes to more acidic ones, always powerful and energetic. Everything skilfully generated on their Korg Electribes ESX-1 and EMX-1. Watch out for their upcoming 12" on their label Pulse Drift later this year.

State Of The Ether | Episode 28

For the next @DarkScienceElectro premiere we look to the southern United States for a check-in with Electro veteran @Cygnus

With a long history of releases beginning in 2006, this Texas resident presents a varied release with the brand new 'Rainy Days'. Straddling the line between Ambient, Techno, IDM, Chillwave and Electro, this full-length release on Biosoft Records has something for everyone. The track selected by @DVSNME to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is entitled 'Default Mode Network' and is the most Electro-centric track on the release. This track is about as smooth as they come with understated percussive traits and a ton of focus on the melody, driven by beautifully modulated pads and bass lines generated by a Waldorf Blofeld, Elektron Digitakt/Analog 4 as well as a Korg VC-10. The song was described by Cygnus as a song about meditation. He went on to say that "The brain is 'used' and consumes energy even when it is not focused on any discreet goal or process". This captivating release is a journey through the sonic landscapes of this prolific producers mind.

PREMIERE: Cygnus - Default Mode Network (Biosoft Records)

For the next @DarkScienceElectro premiere we look to the southern United States for a check-in with Electro veteran @Cygnus on @CPUrecords

With a long history of releases beginning in 2006, this Texas resident presents a brand new EP called 'Deep Analysis'.  The track selected by @DVSNME to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is entitled 'Sheffield Bleep'. The song was composed using Digitakt, Analog4 , Roland SH-01, Ableton and a Vocoder, This vocal track's central theme is an ode to the mighty @CPUrecords done over an Jazzy Electropop feeling track with a Roland CR-78 providing the rhythm. This track is my personal favorite on the record, however, I would also say that this release as a whole is absolutely worth checking out. It is on pre-order now and will be shipping out on or around May 3rd, 2019.
