DJ Tsygan, an integral member of the Skylax crew, has been making waves with his latest release, "Purple Dreams." He ventures into uncharted territory this time, infusing elements from new beat and EBM, in homage to the late '80s icons, including Boytronic, DAF, and Visage. The EP opens with a remarkable track, the exquisite "Putain," which effortlessly transports us back to the poetic vibes reminiscent of Belgian legend Arno, all the while seamlessly intertwining the aforementioned influences. Following this, we are treated to a starkly different yet harmonious piece, the house anthem "Jestem Twoje," evoking memories of the early '90s at its finest, akin to the iconic Latour era (Sharon Stone, anyone?). Concluding the first side is the enchanting "Grey," a barely disguised tribute to Visage's "Slow is the new fast." Flipping to side B, we are greeted with the aptly named, sultry, and seductive "People Are Still Having Sex." It instantaneously conjures images of Confetti (The Sound of C) but without the cheesy undertones, delivering a true, vintage banger. The journey concludes with the deeply personal and profoundly Italian "Never Lost." This 12-inch record is nothing short of breathtaking, a musical odyssey that resonates with both the nostalgic and the contemporary, promising an unforgettable auditory experience.
