Cie embarks on a new sonic expedition with ‘Adventures II‘, the successor to the original journey, continuing the musical quest with great intensity and energy. As the music begins, ‘Reichenstein‘ rises on the horizon like a majestic mountain peak, growing ever more imposing as you draw closer. Upon arrival, the towering presence of the castle welcomes you with its raw power. The beat pulses like a force of nature, its multi-layered rhythms and vibrant sounds pulling every dance enthusiast into its depths, much like an adventurer scaling the heights of the mountain itself.

The journey continues through the mystic halls of the castle, leading to ‘Der Turm‘. Here, hypnotic synths scale the tower’s heights, while deep pulsating basses push against every wall.

From there, the mountain ‘Stenzelberg‘ comes into view, casting its groovy shadows ahead as the next stop on the adventure. Upon reaching the summit, you are immediately drawn into the mountain’s spell by the power of its percussive sounds. But the journey doesn’t end there – deep within the winding gorges, Mar io awaits, leading you through hidden corners and secret paths of the mountain with his powerful remix, finally releasing the soul of the mountain.

Four electrifying tracks – perfect companions for any club adventure – are ready to carry you on your own journey. Vinyl only.

Verdict Deep rolling lush beats lead the way on ‘Adventures II‘, and are the solid foundation that everything is set upon throughout the EP. The three originals are pure minimal techno bliss that build the percussive layers perfectly while the deep bass and staccato synth grooves hold the flow. ‘Mar io‘ is on remix duties and ends the show in style with an acid drenched remix that kicks. In short, a solid follow up to its’ predecessor ‘Adventures‘, and once again CIE doesn’t disappoint.

Track List:

  • Cie – Reichenstein
  • Cie – Der Turm
  • Cie – Stenzelberg
  • Cie – Stenzelberg (Mar io Remix)
