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.

The Hug EP blends emotional depth with club functionality, offering a diverse yet coherent listening experience for both DJs and house music lovers. The journey begins with Hug, the title track of the EP. Its a forward-driving piece full of energy, propelled by a strong central theme and tight percussive elements. Right from the first beat, the track sets the tone for the release - bold, rhythmic, and focused. Next up is What We Luv, a groovier and more classic house cut, built around swinging rhythms and a looping structure that reflects Cécilles unmistakable identity. Its rolling energy and timeless feel make it a natural fit for the labels repertoire. Culminating follows with a darker, more mysterious atmosphere. The track builds steadily with a hypnotic drive - never quite exploding, but continuously rising and tightening its grip on the dancefloor with every passing bar. Closing out the vinyl edition is Gemmy, a track deeply rooted in the signature Cécille style of the early 2010s. Hypnotic grooves, shuffling swing, and an understated elegance define its sound. Kirik hits the labels essence here with pinpoint precision. As a digital-only bonus, Just A Dream offers a personal touch. A deep, emotional house track that reflects Kiriks 15-year journey-a path of dedication, evolution, and vision, culminating in this milestone release on Cécille. Its a fitting closer to a standout EP.
