#7 Feat. Staff Picks in Jackin House

Following on from his debut LP on the imprint, Leyo makes a welcome return to Cécille with his Circus EP, featuring collaborations with fellow label artist Easttown and vocalist Thierry Ganz. In September of 2023 Dutch artist Leyo stormed onto the scene with his widely beloved Hello LP, a project employing a depth of influences and straddling the lines throughout between soulful electro-pop and funk-infused disco jams, through to more raw house and sun drenched lounge cuts. Here returning with a fresh five- track EP, Leyo predominantly sonically leans into House music in its purest form. Opening the EP is Circus feat. Easttown & Thierry Ganz, laid out across five and a half minutes with organic percussion, bulbous sub bass tones, spares sweeps and looped vocal chants. Hypnotize follows next, laying down classic house tropes with bumpy bass stabs, swinging drums and choppy vocal lines throughout. Opening the B-Side is Visions ,embracing a more Disco House tinged aesthetic with funky guitar lines, delayed vocal murmurs, resonant swells and robust drums. The aptly title Sunrise then offers up a dreamy stripped-back aesthetic with delayed guitar licks, breathy voices and minimalistic percussion. Lastly to conclude the package as a digital bonus cut, Sweat leans back into the peak time with a French touch bass groove, dubbed out brass melodies, filter sweeps and a shuffled rhythm section.

#29 Feat. Staff Picks in Jackin House

Andrew Azara makes a welcome return to Cécille with his Cosmic Girl EP, comprising five originals from the Dublin via Barcelona artist. Born in Ireland and now based in the Spanish hotspot, Barcelona, Andrew Azara has been making his mark since 2019 with regular appearances behind the booth across Europe and South America and a string of releases for the likes of DJEBALI and of course Cécille where he returns here following 2024s Right On Time EP. Title-track Cosmic Girl leads with robust drums, dubby stab sequences and tension building resonant flutters at its core before Mattika lays down organic percussion, bouncy sub bass tones, an amalgamation of vocal chants and fluttering synth loops. The Jam follows on the flip-side, stripping things back to a raw, reduced rhythm section, plucked synth notes and dynamic effects throughout. Obsession then concludes the vinyl release with a groovy bass line, choppy samples and heavily swung drums before the digital bonus cut Doing It completes the package, laying down airy strings, bright chord sequences and jazzy bass tones atop a minimalistic drum groove.
