Nymfo is next up to take a seat at the CIA banquet table. The Dutch master is a long-time extended member of the family so it is a pleasure to welcome him back to the fold once more, this time with his ‘Stone Cold EP’.

Known for coming with the icy roller, Nymfo is continually working and developing his range of production skills and able to turn his hand to any sound or style he wishes. And you can tell that the ‘Stone Cold EP’ has been directly crafted with CIA in mind.

Mako & Seba - Brotherhood

Manny seems to have a never ending supply of talent oozing out of it’s corners and cracks - a city with an obviously stellar musical history - a history being continuously added to. 

Motiv is one of the next breed of these Manchester talents, and after having only seemingly recently risen to the surface, his already hugely impressive and wide ranging discography shows that this young producer really means business and is a name that’s here to stay.

It feels like there’s already a ‚Motiv Sound‘, his tracks always possessing a well rounded sound and a coherent and progressive musical structure. This sounds like music made by someone who’s been about for years and is just solidly plying their craft, rolling out lush musical joints one after the other like it’s no big thing. That’s pretty sick.

And so we had to get him on CIA - and not only is he on the label - he’s come with five fresh cuts, just like that, and that’s his ‘Downpour’ EP. 

Four solo numbers, and also a new collab with vocalist Luke Truth. Check out badman Motiv with his ‘Downpour’ EP.


Motiv - Under A Groove

🎶 Tradução em Português
Luzes da rua borram através do vidro manchado de chuva Meu casaco ainda cheira como a dúvida de ontem Eu conto três respirações antes que a porta se feche Então o chão começa a zunir sob meus pés

Sem mais nomes em meus lábios Sem mais fantasmas em meu alcance Apenas a correnteza me puxando para baixo Deixe me levar

Pontas dos dedos traçam a borda da manga de um estranho Não procurando por amor, apenas um lugar para desaparecer O ar denso com estática e segundas chances Eu troco minha pele como um endereço antigo

Sem mais mapas em minhas mãos Sem mais linhas na areia Apenas um sinal queimando mais forte

Pela primeira vez, eu não preciso falar Os alto-falantes dizem tudo Meus ossos lembram o que minha mente esqueceu

Deixe me levar Deixe me refazer

No more names

Echoes in the Dark

AURORA is a cinematic, synth-charged concept album about awakening—personally, cosmically, electrically. Across seventeen tracks, it tracks a night-long ascent from the first jolt of awareness to the blinding blush of morning. Shimmering pads, neon arps, and widescreen guitars collide with heartbeat drums; hooks bloom like city lights seen from a plane. Lyrically it’s sky-obsessed—photons, tides, halos, orbits—but always human at the core: two people finding signal in the noise and daring to move beyond their limits. By the time the title track crests, the record has traded fear for velocity and comfort for wonder, closing on a fearless, sunrise-bright vow to transcend.

Track-by-track snapshots:
• Aurora — The curtain-raiser and thesis: hope refracted into color; a slow-bloom anthem that lifts into open-sky chorus.
• Awakening — Pulse-quickening opener; synth heartbeat becomes a sprint as the first spark catches.
• Celestial — Star-gazed romance; hushed verses, supernova hook.
• ELECTRIC HALOS — Neon-lit mid-tempo; gritty guitars around shimmering choir pads—storm meets starlight.
• Elevate — Updraft groove; lyrics about choosing altitude over attitude.
• Euphoria — Sun-kissed rush; festival-ready drop that feels like windows-down at 2 a.m.
• FALLING INTO LIGHT — Surrender song; the fall that feels like flying.
• Gravity Surrenders — Weightlessness in 4 minutes; bass drops out as voices rise.
• Infinite — Big-sky ballad; promises that outlast the night.
• LIGHTSPEED HEART — Racing drums and bright synths; love as faster-than-light travel.
• Limitless — Affirmation anthem; fists-up chorus built for crowds.
• NEON AURORA — City-pop sparkle; the glow of hope on wet pavement.
• ORBIT OF US — Intimate duet; two bodies finding balance in a shared gravity well.
• PHOTON TIDE — Tidal, hypnotic; waves of arpeggios pulling you forward.
• SAPPHIRE HORIZON — Deep-blue pre-dawn; calm before the final climb.
• SUNRISE SIGNAL — Morse-code synths and marching snare; the world blinking awake.
• Transcend — Triumphant closer; guitars, choirs, and a last, wide-open breath.
