On the new 4 song EP, Cyr mixes influences from Latin, Arabic and African music, alongside elements of house, ragga, electro dub, along with the more experimental atmospheres of his previous work.
The new EP is surprisingly diverse in spite of its short run time, the title track twists the horn melodies of Morgan Price from Ikekebe Shakedown around a sweaty, stacked uptempo rhythm that recalls both the locked in rhythms of New York disco and freestyle with the looser elements of ethio jazz and Afrobeat.
The Real Enemy delves deep into dub darkness, floating cut-up female vocals against at skittering 150bpm drum machine pattern that finds its inspiration equally from darbouka drumming as from jungle and break core. The B side heads in a more dancefloor friendly direction with The Goldest Coast opening up a truncated four to the floor groove to interference from riotous percussion elements alongside a chorus of birds recorded deep in a rainforest on the caribbean island of Tobago.The closing track is a rough raga riddim at its core, the calls of bullfrogs rub shoulders with electronic percussion elements, draped with talk box wails.
