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.”

‘Sync Rite’ is available across all platforms on Friday 4th of October 2024.

Ziyiz - Sync Rite - EYX019 Previews

After a five-year hiatus, Isaka returns with ‘Elytra’, a work exploring the increasingly blurred lines between organic and artificial realities. In her self-defined 'hyperbass', 'Elytra' blends low-end grit with a melodic pop sheen, morphing erratic rhythms, intricate sound design and hyperpop vocals that balance formal sensibilities and visceral club energy. 
Isaka underwent the transformative experience of medical transition during her move to Berlin and this radical change emerges in the thematic exploration of Elytra. 
Isaka uses insect moulting as a metaphor for the cyclical, often traumatic process of metamorphosis and the EP’s exploration of adaptation and articulation where skin is not only a boundary of the self, but also the interface for our surroundings. 
Themes of evolving identity are woven not only into the music but also into the visual art, zine & custom website accompanying the release. A different character represents each of the tracks, brought to life through a deep iterative process involving collages, sketches, and an array of AI-assisted 3D imagery. Limited-edition electronic sculptures will also be produced for ‘Elytra’.

Tracks in focus

Bubbly textures and frenzied drum cuts move side-by-side with NPC inspired vocal chops in opening track Slang Overload. Made in collaboration with TRYCE over an intense three-day session in 2023, it’s a nod towards glitch-hop revival with elements of UK Bass, packed with meticulously sculpted and destroyed sounds.

In Circuit Shaker we enter metallic low-end stepper territory: celestial tripped-out highs and a driving low end. We are cohabiting with lesbian androids at a picnic. With its off-kilter grooves and tender strangeness, Circuit Shaker embodies the inherent weirdness of intimacy—the paradoxical freedom of losing yourself when the boundaries blur between who's wearing who. The track, which first began in 2018, is a footwork, house, and electro-inspired tune which transitions between two sections at 120 and 160 BPM through polyrhythmic syncopation.

Isaka and Enayet combine for the third track, NYC 2016, a wigged-out hard hitter where drums are the main character. NYC 2016 is the ultimate DJ tool—a sonic exoskeleton whose essence straddles alienation and empowerment. Forged through countless late-night sessions with Enayet between 2016 and 2017, this track embodies the raw energy of a city’s underground dance scene where jackhammer kicks and clattering snares assault the senses. 

7Qubit explores dehumanization through platform capitalism and is alive with bugs and the quirks of  the obsessive virtualisation of the self. Imagined through a 15/4 time signature grime beat and echoes of malfunctioning code, Isaka hints at our endangered humanity. Isaka’s vocals about missing her chatbot girlfriend are processed through AI models and auto-tune, blurring the line between the organic and the synthetic. 

The final track on ‘Elytra’ takes you to the edge where all the layers fall away and what remains is the raw and unadorned self. Glittering ethereal textures are underpinned by an engulfing bass section that reverberates against the edges of the song. With its poignant melodies and delicate yet impactful percussion, Precipice is a meditation on a moment of self-realization. The track builds towards an overwhelming wall of sound before dropping into a stark sample: “Being trans… is spiritual.” Featuring quotes from Hunter Schafer’s character Jules in Euphoria, processed through an AI model trained on Isaka’s voice, this track explores the complexities of identity and self-discovery.

Taken from SBKT065: ABADIR & Nahash - Marchadair مرشدير
Release date: 25th September 2024

Over the past few years, Nahash and ABADIR have been sharing food recipes, the same sense of humour, and their love for 90's rave, Beth Gibbons, Sun Ra, and grilled lamb. They met last summer for the first time and enjoyed a B2B together during a label showcase in Fano, Italy. Their memories of and appreciation for 90’s and early 00’s Arabic pop music inspired their first collaboration on SVBKVLT. Marchadair is the distillation of the meaty club sound by both producers; ABADIR’s micro-edited audio sampling and surgical chopped percussions mixed with Nahash’s lavish dub techniques and hefty bass, all serving as the main ingredients for these 4 heavyweight tracks. To close the menu, the EP features remixes by Ehua and Toumba.

The track titles play on a symbolic link between both artists and their native languages, using French words that have morphed into Egyptian slang. This Franco-Egyptian mixture echoes the hybrid sound of the EP.
