With EYX019 Early Reflex is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of "Sync Rite," the latest EP from visionary electronic music artist Ziyiz. "Sync Rite" features three groundbreaking tracks that continue Ziyiz's exploration of sound and surreal world-building.

Ziyiz, known for their cutting-edge sonics and captivating live performances, has previously released music through labels such as Kindergarten, Failed Units, and Line:156. With "Sync Rite," Ziyiz continues to push theenvelope, delivering a collection of tracks that challenge the conventions of electronic music.

The concept behind "Sync Rite" was inspired by a unique ritual observed by Ziyiz, where malfunctioning robots consumed a material known as Syndrenal to enhance synchronization and efficiency. This theme of synchronization and transformation is woven throughout the EP, offering listeners a sonic experience that is both otherworldly and deeply immersive.

The journey begins with Ashen Magnets, a tribal-infused synth dance track is a rhythmic journey that combines pulsating beats with haunting melodies, creating a hypnotic atmosphere that transports listeners to a different dimension.
Fired Water Twitches follows next, an electro-driven masterpiece which showcases Ziyiz's ability to blend robotic rhythms with electrifying synth lines, resulting in a high-energy dancefloor anthem.
The EP closes with Syndrenal a futuristic, hyper-fueled jersey club track, which pushes the boundaries of genre with its rapid-fire beats and innovative soundscapes.

Ziyiz said:
“██, located inside a cave within the ███████ forest. The ██ guides malfunctioning robots through a synchronization rite involving a liquid material, Syndrenal. Maintaining a distance is advised, due to the heat produced during the rite. Syndrenal is synthesized inside a crystalline cauldron sat atop spinning Ashen Magnets, which appears to generate huge quantities of hot blue energy. The ██ body seems composed of a heat resistant metallic alloy, even so their lower torso has become molten and fused to the ground, presumably due to the long exposure of heat created by the Ashen Magnets. Their many limbs engage in constant movement, gathering materials from around the cave, which they place within the crystalline cauldron where Fired Water Twitches. Ziyiz observed the Sync Rite, documenting malfunctioning robots gathering around the entity. Once consumption of the Syndrenal has taken place they demonstrate synchronized movements and evident improved operational efficiency. The process appears to Sync and align malfunctioning robots, correcting errors in their programming. The audio files presented were obtained via data transfer from post-Syndrenal Sync Rite robots.”

For EYX020 New York City-based artist No Sir returns with a three-tracker titled Radial Burn, set to be released on November 22, 2024, via Turin's forward-thinking label Early Reflex. Known for pushing the boundaries of rhythmic and atmospheric experimentation, No Sir delivers a project that deepens their exploration of the tension between double and half-time beats, layering sinuous percussion with moments of intense noise and breath.

In Radial Burn, No Sir seeks to explore how subtle shifts in rhythmic stress can alter the listener's physical response to the music. Through intricate, often elusive patterns, the EP finds unique spaces within the beat, producing a heady blend of club energy and introspective sound design.

The title track “Radial Burn” sets the tone for the EP with relentless, driving percussion that continually shifts between double and half-time, pulling the listener into a dynamic, almost vertiginous space. The push-pull effect of rhythmic stress brings both tension and release, with each percussive layer adding depth to the track's intensity. “Soft Tissue” follows next like a sonic exploration of fragility and pressure. Fusing erratic, snapping rhythms with expansive atmospheric textures, this track finds moments of air within the chaos. It evokes a tactile, bodily experience—like sound massaging against skin, sometimes delicately, sometimes forcefully. Closing the EP, “Layer 03” draws from Drum 'n Bass, UK Garage, and Dubstep, blending heavy basslines and syncopated beats with a modern edge. It weaves together intricate grooves and deep bass, offering a fresh take on bass-infused and underground sounds.

No Sir said:
“In working on this EP, I was drawn to the push and pull between double and half-time, finding pockets of air and atmosphere amidst layers of sinuous percussion and noise. By shifting the stress of the beat within each track, I aimed to explore how subtle changes in rhythmic emphasis can impact the human body.”

‘Radial Burn’ is available across all platforms on Friday 22nd of November 2024.

2025 marks the return on Early Reflex of Turin-based producer and label-head Alec Pace inaugurating an exciting new series, EYES, with the release of ‘Eyes I’, a two-tracker set to drop on February 14, 2025.

The EYES series is a fresh venture for Early Reflex which aims to offer peak-time dance-floor tools in a streamlined two-tracker format and establish itself as a go-to destination for DJs seeking impactful yet innovative club tracks. Each release will also feature original hand drawn artworks, emphasising both auditory and visual creativity.
‘Eyes I’ the first two-tracker of the series specifically showcases Alec Pace’s knack for crafting powerful, high-energy music.
The opener “Apex" is a no-nonsense four-on-the-floor techno roller, propelled by dazzling synthesisers and a relentless rhythm designed to captivate the dance-floor. The track evolves dynamically, shifting focus to its bold, textural centrepiece
The following track “Nadir" in contrast ventures into more unconventional territory. Built on off-kilter beats and anchored by a commanding lead synthesiser. Its hypnotic layers and driving energy make it a quintessential peak-time weapon.

Speaking about the series, Alec Pace explained:
“With the Eyes series, we want to strip things back to the essentials while keeping a playful and visually engaging aesthetic. Each release is about creating impactful tools that DJs can use to elevate their sets, paired with artwork that inspires curiosity and interaction.”

‘Eyes I’ is available across all platforms on Friday 14th February 2025.

Early Reflex proudly presents 63N3RD [EYX021] introducing a bold new voice in experimental club music and the debut from biased, producer and DJ based between Milan and New York City.

63N3RD is a deeply personal project, written over a year while living in NYC, the EP draws from 16 years of clubbing experiences and biased's love for mixing and playing diverse sounds. It blends the unconventional with the danceable, capturing what he describes as "something you might not expect to sound good together, but somehow it does”.

The opener ‘K:umbia’ is a bold reinterpretation of cumbia rhythms, layered with experimental electronic textures and basslines that nod to his eclectic influences. ‘Winded’, follows next, with its pulsating off-kilter percussion and atmospheric undertones, capturing the restless energy of modern urban nightlife. The journey continues with ‘Riddimsburg’, an intricate blend of syncopated beats and sub-heavy grooves that weave unexpected elements into a compelling rhythmic tapestry. The EP closing track ‘Sottoterra’ brings a brooding yet dynamic track inspired by underground aesthetics, marrying dark ambiance with a forward-driving pulse

biased said:
“I'm not a sound engineer. I just spent the last 16 years of my life clubbing and finally found a way to sum up a bit what these years have sounded into my ears. I wrote this EP over 18 months while living in NYC. It is deeply influenced by this experience as it is by all of the past music/club-related ones. It summarizes pretty much what I listen to and what I really like to mix and play. While working on this EP, I aimed for something a bit unconventional but still danceable—something you might not expect to sound good together, but somehow it does.”

‘63N3RD’ is available across all platforms on Friday 28th March 2025.

Following the launch of the Eyes series, Early Reflex welcomes back Ikävä Pii for “Eyes II”, the second entry in this exploratory two-tracker format. 

Possibly the darkest tracks Ikävä Pii has produced to date, ‘False Binaries Fight for Primacy’ and ‘Permaweird’ are two detailed and twisted club tunes, encapsulating the perennial state of frustrated urgency of our times. 
Uneasy feelings are conveyed in both tracks, and refracted through the artist’s signature playful approach.
False Binaries Fight for Primacy is driven by the eerie ambiguity of its major/minor harmony, and a relentless rhythmic section that nods to post-punk as much as the track’s distorted, shouty vocals. The unsettling main theme of Permaweird is hinged on an alteration of the Locrian mode (often deemed the “weirdest” mode), and its timbre, albeit recalling familiar patches from the Process Fatigue era, here paints a much darker picture. 
Topical and heartfelt, these tracks update Ikävä Pii’s sound with an uncanny mutation, material for a standout moment in a club set. Already secret weapons in Ikävä Pii’s live show for nearly a year, they’ve left heads spinning on dancefloors in UK, Europe and beyond, and now find their proper home on Early Reflex.

Ikävä Pii said:
“What’s the purpose of club music in a climate where alienation is the norm and outdated narratives are collapsing?
We live in the permaweird: reality gets increasingly absurd, and yet we adapt to it every day.
Nothing to fight for: digital vs physical, liberal left vs authoritarian right, old vs young - just false binaries. There must be another way. 
In the meantime, activate punk mode, shout in the mic, use stranger scales. 
The only real binary is rich vs non-rich (and that’s what clubs should be about).
Thanks Venkatesh Rao and David Rudnick for the inspiration.”

‘Eyes II’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 2nd May 2025.

The imprint from Turin celebrates its second birthday with Flex003, a compilation featuring ten tools from new, up-and-coming and established artists from around the globe.

Ranging from 90 to 160+ BPM, the release encompasses multiple aspects of experimental club music such as dancehall, drum’n’bass, leftfield techno and broken beats sounds.

The compilation kicks off with a bass post-club experiment of ‘Gain XP’ from Bladeblanc, which leads to the combination of broken beats and atmospherical sound design of ‘Wonder’ from AYLN. Follows ’East Wing Oslo House’, the new techno-adjacent-mutant-club contribution from Ikävä Pii, and ‘Scamming’ from Lighght with its psychedelic vocals and pitch-shifting percussions. To close off the first side of the album we find the leftfield techno of Alec Pace’s ‘Ghost Money’ with its syncopated bass and mysterious vocals. Opening the second half the compilation is Honeydrip with her new work ‘Wake the Phone’, characterised by a bouncing beat and a 90's feel, followed by ‘Sentimento’, the quirky and hypnotic interlude signed by BLCKEBY. Hassan Abou Alam then brings the listener into a distant world with his glitchy robotic tool titled ‘Freeze’. The BPM then shifts up for an explosive ending where club-driven percussive rhythmics blends with d’n’b excursions in ‘Day After the Last Day’ from Diessa and ‘Rek’ from NORA DRUM.

Flex003 is available on all platforms starting from Friday 3rd June 2022.

For EYX010 London-based Italian producer Ikävä Pii returns on the label (following their first appearance with ‘EPOS Digitale’ from September 2021) with a new mind-melter EP titled ‘Process
Fatigue’, their first release of 2022.

Written “literally” while keeping “Discord and Ableton open at all times” and funnelling “ideas from one channel to the other”, ‘Process Fatigue’ contains four quirky club ready cuts reflecting the
intent of the artist in developing new creative processes.

A downshifting sound signals the beginning of Protocol Art, the opening track introducing the listener to the new broad palette of sound from the Italian produce. This dance tool plays around
the alternation of rhythm and melody, while enveloped synthesisers and warped samples convolute into kaleidoscopic musical textures until the last bell hits and dissolves into silence.

Fast paced hit-hats, a syncopated rhythmic session and analog harmonies and effects follow next in Group Chats with High Signal-to-Noise Ratio Become Coops, delivering an unconventional DJ
tool with an incredible attention to sound designs.

Reaching towards the core of Ikävä Pii’s latest work there is title track Process Fatigue, which brings the listener into dark dubstep and obscure dance influenced territories driven by leading sub basses, an incessant kick and a glitchy percussions.

The closing cut is Relevant Channel which kicks off with atmospherical pads, a combination of wild gamelan percussions, tweaked synthesisers and time stretching effects succeeded
imminently diverting the track into a flamboyant rhythmic dance.

Ikävä Pii said:
“How do we decide how to decide? Process Fatigue is an involuntary reflection of the shared
Sisyphean nature of grassroots organising and artistic creation.
It was composed while researching a method and developing a set of tools for both SODAA (the
London collective working on a model for a community-operated club) and a new personal
creative cycle; Discord and Ableton open at all times, ideas crossing from one channel to another -
while also adjusting to chronic tiredness.
New protocols spawn new art and ways of sharing it - but avoid fetishising the process, or you’ll
get stuck. Just make the tune! Do the party! Mess up! Have fun!”
‘Process Fatigue’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 18th November 2022.

EYX012 ‘Is This Future Now?’ [Future Now? Remixed] reinterprets, through a collection of remixes and unreleased materials, undiscovered sides of the dystopian futuristic world originally depicted in Alec Pace’s EP ‘Future Now?’ released last year in March 2022.

Follow @alecpace | @stennyyy | @tomsobolikmusic | @klahrk

Stenny, Sobolik and Klahrk rework, mesh-up and deconstruct the three tracks composing the original EP

Stenny’s version of ‘Future Now?’ is a perfect late night club tool, developed around an incessant kick drum and effected vocals.

‘Lanes’, remixed by New Yorker Sobolik, get its syncopated attitude emphasised through a rhythmic session built around jumpy beats and atonal synthesisers.

Klahrk reshapes ‘Permutations’ in a slower paced and hard way pulling out a proper hard drum rave tool.

Closing the EP and complementing the release there is titled track ‘Is This Future Now?’ an unreleased track from Alec Pace himself where the producer experiments on lower tempo mixing original material and new elements.

Alec Pace said:
“Is This Future Now? pushes further the concept of dystopian future originally depicted in Future Now? EP.
New technologies and artificial intelligence will have an even deeper influence on our lives and on the way people interact with each other.
It has been a blessing to have the support and the contribution from such talented pool artists and producers such as Stenny, Sobolik and Klahrk who enabled bringing out further elements from the concept into their remixes.”

[EYX016] 'Last Laugh' - Preview Clips:

Following their outstanding appearance on Kindergarten Records VA Fluo III, Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Martini debuts on Early Reflex with their first EP titled ‘Last Laugh’.

Touching sonic landscapes adjacent to Leftfield Techno, Dubstep and Electro, Martini explores in their 4-tracker the power to impact on both body and mind through their immersive sound achieved by a precise manipulation of timbre and rhythm from the American producer.

Title track ‘Last Laugh’ opens the journey into Martini’s world with syncopated beats and its punch kick surrounded by warped effects and a texture of arpeggiated synthesisers.
Mood and BPMs shift into electro-mode in’If I Don’t Laugh I’ll Cry’ a heavy distorted synth signals to the listeners that an explosive beat is about to drop.
The dance keeps going on and on with ‘Chaste’ which follows next, a wormhole of incessant kick-drums, pitch-shifting effects and punchy-basses.
The atmospherical state of‘Serendipity’ close the sonic journey into Martini’s world, where mind-twisting pads and undistinguishable vocals pre-announce the landing on an extraterrestrial dub-heavy “sonosphere”.

Martini said:
“This EP represents my deep interest in expressing convoluted emotions and narratives through the precise manipulation of timbre and rhythm. I’m fascinated by the power sound has over your mind and body despite the level of abstraction it can exhibit, which I try to exploit by carefully crafting each sound.”

‘Last Laugh’ is available across all platforms on Friday 16th of February 2024.

The track's layered synths and gentle beats create an atmosphere of tranquility and introspection, making it perfect for both chilled-out listening sessions and early morning festival sets. In stark contrast, "Humble Rumble" brings the energy up with a pulsating bassline and fierce beats that are sure to ignite dancefloors.

Scalymoth said:
“This debut EP is the culmination of a few years of making, listening and learning. It is designed to make you move in whichever way and wherever makes you feel comfortable. All tracks were created on drum machines,
inspired by random occurrences over the last year. I'm also excited I got to weave in some field recordings I took in India.

Radial Burn

follow @no_sir

For EYX020 New York City-based artist No Sir returns with a three-tracker titled Radial Burn, set to be released on November 22, 2024, via Turin's forward-thinking label Early Reflex. Known for pushing the boundaries of rhythmic and atmospheric experimentation, No Sir delivers a project that deepens their exploration of the tension between double and half-time beats, layering sinuous percussion with moments of intense noise and breath.
In Radial Burn, No Sir seeks to explore how subtle shifts in rhythmic stress can alter the listener's physical response to the music. Through intricate, often elusive patterns, the EP finds unique spaces within the beat, producing a heady blend of club energy and introspective sound design.
The title track “Radial Burn” sets the tone for the EP with relentless, driving percussion that continually shifts between double and half-time, pulling the listener into a dynamic, almost vertiginous space. The push-pull effect of rhythmic stress brings both tension and release, with each percussive layer adding depth to the track's intensity.
“Soft Tissue” follows next like a sonic exploration of fragility and pressure. Fusing erratic, snapping rhythms with expansive atmospheric textures, this track finds moments of air within the chaos. It evokes a tactile, bodily experience—like sound massaging against skin, sometimes delicately, sometimes forcefully.
Closing the EP, “Layer 03” draws from Drum 'n Bass, UK Garage, and Dubstep, blending heavy basslines and syncopated beats with a modern edge. It weaves together intricate grooves and deep bass, offering a fresh take on bass-infused and underground sounds.

No Sir said:
“In working on this EP, I was drawn to the push and pull between double and half-time, finding pockets of air and atmosphere amidst layers of sinuous percussion and noise. By shifting the stress of the beat within each track, I aimed to explore how subtle changes in rhythmic emphasis can impact the human body.”

‘Radial Burn’ is available across all platforms on Friday 22nd of November 2024.

Early Reflex proudly presents 63N3RD [EYX021] introducing a bold new voice in experimental club music and the debut from biased, producer and DJ based between Milan and New York City.

63N3RD is a deeply personal project, written over a year while living in NYC, the EP draws from 16 years of clubbing experiences and biased's love for mixing and playing diverse sounds. It blends the unconventional with the danceable, capturing what he describes as "something you might not expect to sound good together, but somehow it does”.

The opener ‘K:umbia’ is a bold reinterpretation of cumbia rhythms, layered with experimental electronic textures and basslines that nod to his eclectic influences. ‘Winded’, follows next, with its pulsating off-kilter percussion and atmospheric undertones, capturing the restless energy of modern urban nightlife. The journey continues with ‘Riddimsburg’, an intricate blend of syncopated beats and sub-heavy grooves that weave unexpected elements into a compelling rhythmic tapestry. The EP closing track ‘Sottoterra’ brings a brooding yet dynamic track inspired by underground aesthetics, marrying dark ambiance with a forward-driving pulse

“I'm not a sound engineer. I just spent the last 16 years of my life clubbing and finally found a way to sum up a bit what these years have sounded into my ears. I wrote this EP over 18 months while living in NYC. It is deeply influenced by this experience as it is by all of the past music/club-related ones. It summarizes pretty much what I listen to and what I really like to mix and play. While working on this EP, I aimed for something a bit unconventional but still danceable—something you might not expect to sound good together, but somehow it does.”

‘63N3RD’ is available across all platforms on Friday 28th March 2025.
