Vyvyan returns with “I Have Specific Needs,” a three-cut EP for London-based label Sound Du Jour, run by La Mano (SXDNS270). The UK artist has built a formidable reputation through releases on Lost Property, Paradise Palms, Me Me Me, Love Attack, Bordello A Parigi, Pets, Not An Animal, and Sound Du Jour itself – imprints known for their club-ready deliveries. This latest offering stays true to form, featuring two original productions and a remix by none other than Dharma that reworks the title track into fresh territory. Vyvyan’s sound – equal parts functional and distinctive – has earned consistent support from DJs who value themes with both immediacy and longevity.

Premiered here, “Desperate Liaisons,” one of the highlights of the parcel, exemplifies Vyvyan’s hybrid approach, fusing EBM’s industrial pulse with acid’s raw squelch, and a percussive framework built for peak-time pressure. Razor-sharp synths slice through the mix, while a bassline that refuses to quit ensures dance floors stay locked in. Sound Du Jour’s A&R proves on-point yet again, as the label continues to spotlight music that prioritizes impact over trends. With “I Have Specific Needs,” Vyvyan doesn’t just deliver DJ tools; he offers a statement. From the warehouse-ready thump of the drums to the precisely calibrated tension in the arrangements, every element serves the eager nightlifers in search of highly danceable freshness. It’s a masterclass in modern club music: uncompromising in energy, yet nuanced enough to stand out in sets. As the EP lands in DJ crates worldwide, one thing is clear: Vyvyan remains at the forefront of producers who understand that true club power lies in the balance of force and finesse.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label.
