German native, Belgium based DJ and producer Cihan Mareno debuts on SRUR with a classy two tracker entitled ‘Forward EP’. Cihan has a rich heritage which he applies to his DJing and music production. This diverse approach has seen Cihan gain huge support from around the world with releases on Kaapro Records, Soulman Music, Tulipe Records and Dark Pleasure Records to name just a few. He has played at top venues across the world and this comes a no surprise given the quality he has to offer.

First up we have ‘Forward’ with its muted kick intro that soon blasts off with monster kick that dominates throughout. Percussions build steadily into cool rhythmic patterns and the first break brings with it a very cool and gritty synth backed up with metallic sounding FX. The bass rumbles from below and takes the groove to the next level. The main break reveals more of that grainy synth line as smooth and steady tech grooves keep those dancing feet moving all night, top notch stuff!

‘Rouge’ takes off with a cool percussion led intro before a big chunky kick comes into play. Nice tight arrangement on the drums give off a flowing rhythm and on the first break we get a cool vocal sample coming through as the track enters the next stage. The bass thunders by and will give sub woofers a run for their money. Cool intricate patterns are formed within the percussions and FX while the main break gives us a respite before that monster kick and bass combo comes flooding back, superb!
