New releases this week: Minimal/Tech House

Review: Romanian producer BRYZ returns with three immersive cuts for Yecad, a label that's steadily positioning itself among minimal's most reliable. A fixture in Bucharest's underground, BRYZ has released on Tzinah, Esente and Storytellers, and here he leans into his signature hypnotic detail. 'Arcane' sets the tone on the A-side: tight, swung drums guide a stream of hazy pads, fragmented voices, and dubby trails. 'Calida' flips the mood slightly-more tactile and groove-led, it centres on a burbling synth motif and deft guitar flicks, making space for a subtly rising arrangement. Closing track 'Iridian' deepens things once again, layering panned percussion and flickering synth work over a sleek bassline. It's heady, club-ready minimalism, but with a welcome softness-a producer dialled into his zone.
