Worlds Apart / Surreal
The tenth edition of the Early Morning label stands as both a milestone and a statement of intent. In just a single year, its founder has reshaped the underground dance music landscape with a catalog that redefined the possibilities of the genre. This latest release features two new pieces that together form a tightly woven conceptual work spanning nearly seventeen minutes. Guy J has built his reputation on reinvention. Each release feels less like a continuation of his past and more like a step into uncharted terrain. On the opening track, Worlds Apart, he fuses an emotive core with intricate sound design and spatial experimentation, leading listeners into liminal states where consciousness and subconsciousness blur. Despite its cerebral qualities, the piece never loses its pulse, the steady momentum that keeps it firmly anchored to the dancefloor. True to the labels name, this is music designed for dawn, for moments of release after a long night, for embraces on crowded floors, for the intangible bonds that form through shared experience. The second track, Surreal, pushes further into abstraction. While echoes of early trance, a genre that shaped Guy J during his formative years, are evident, the piece reframes those influences through a progressive, hypnotic, and technologically refined lens. It is this ability to blend memory with innovation that distinguishes Guy J from his peers, offering listeners not just music but a reimagined space in which sound itself becomes an act of discovery.

Out of Nowhere
Guy Js launch of Early Morning marked a bold step towards ushering in a new era of creative advancement. The labels ninth installment features Tantums debut, comprising three tracks that collectively span nearly 22 minutes. Tantum, known for blurring the lines between melodic techno and progressive house, has cemented an international reputation for his innovative sound in the electronic music sphere. The title track, Out of Nowhere, embodies the notion that inspiration somehow often strikes unexpectedly. However, Tantums hypnotic creation reflects countless hours of meticulous sound exploration and idea refinement. Continuing with Unblur, the track builds on its predecessor with added energy, abstract effects, and creative audio engineering, crafting a psychedelic mosaic where bass and drums stand as steadfast anchors. Rounding out the release is Out of Nowhere (Subandrio Remix), expertly crafted by DJ and producer Subandrio, whose upbringing across Europe and Sri Lanka infuses diverse cultural influences into his work. His remix not only honors Tantums vision but also adds a distinct character, seamlessly merging two artistic perspectives into a cohesive whole. In the climactic moments before the drop, Subandrio introduces significant contrasts, showcasing his signature style and enhancing this exceptional piece, and closing the release with a euphoric crescendo.
