Title: Mind Game

Record Label: @distrikt-sound

Cat.Number: DS008

Release Date: August 30th 2024

We are excited to launch the progressive side of DISTRIKT Sound with none other than our good friend Brian Cid. This two-track EP starts with "Mind Game," a deep musical journey centered around the sincere message of Brian’s good friend, Diego Dorothy. He expresses his new commitment to practicing daily meditation after feeling that, in his own words, "enough is enough”, as he no longer wishes to be trapped in a mind game. Brian explains: “When I received this message on the phone, I felt it needed to be shared with the world, so I decided to create an entire track around it. The haunting-style groove is built with Roland drum machines, accompanied by live electric guitar and Moog synthesizers, all written in a call-and-response style. This track is designed for a big indoor or outdoor space, catered to DISTRIKT Sounds.”

The EP continues with "Aladanza," a very energetic, uplifting minimal progressive track with a forward-moving funky groove. Its big bass lines and funky guitar riffs create an undeniable motion. It’s a big vibe-setter, designed to be played at peak moments. “I was inspired by the summers while living in Berlin, the festive emotions, and the dancing spirit. "Aladanza" means "to go dance."

Tracklist:

1) Mind Game - Brian Cid Ft. Diego Dorothy

2) Mind Game - Brian Cid (Instrumental)

“The ‘thinkaboutit’ EP originated from a little studio setup from last summer in Ibiza. With an imaginative summer vibe in effect, the project draws inspiration from a retro pop era reminiscent of synth-driven sounds from the 80s.” ~ David Berrie.

1) thinkaboutit

2) Sometimes In A Mood

1. thinkaboutit

A trippy and immersive cut that fully embodies Berrie’s late-night hazy house sound.

Playing DISTRIKT at Burning Man is always an incredible pleasure, but this year was particularly special with the camp at the 10 o’clock corner. The view of the open playa, art cars gliding past, and mini dust tornadoes swirling around created a unparalleled backdrop to open that Wednesday for the Distrikt x Robot Heart link up — elegantly highlighting our vibrant Burning Man community. Big thanks to Distrikt and everyone who was there with us — can’t wait for the next one! )’(

DISTRIKT...

A place that needs no introduction in the Burning Man community... yet an enigma to the rest of the world! The cages... the dust storms... the once in a life time sets... and my god those SUNSETS! In 2004 The Deep End change my perception of what a dance floor should/could be... it changed the way I expected a dance floor to make me feel! It introduced me to the concept of Frisson... or as I like to call it... the “dance floor orgasm”. It had been nearly 20 years of wanting to play that incredible camp and it finally happened in 2023 alongside my dear friend Jetzen.
