On August 30, DISTRIKT Sound, the record label associated with the renowned Burning Man camp, introduced the world to Brian Cid's latest musical endeavor, the 'Mind Game' EP. This project marks a notable step into the progressive house genre for the label.
The EP opens with its titular track, "Mind Game," which provides a deep and introspective musical journey inspired by a heartfelt message from Cid's friend, Diego Dorothy. Cid shared that after receiving Dorothy's thoughts on the need for daily meditation and personal growth, he felt compelled to translate that energy into sound. The haunting track features Roland drum machines, live electric guitar, and Moog synthesizers, structured in an evocative call-and-response manner, catering specifically for both indoor and outdoor venues.
Following "Mind Game," the EP presents "Aladanza," a vibrant and energetic minimal progressive tune that embodies Cid's experiences of summer life in Berlin. The melody is characterized by a compelling bassline and funky guitar riffs, acting as an anthem for dance enthusiasts. The title "Aladanza" translates to "to go dance"—a fitting description for the track's rhythmic exuberance.
For those looking to experience or purchase the EP, it is available now on Beatport. DISRIKT Sound continues to evolve, representing diverse musical expressions that resonate with festival culture and community.
