PREMIERE: Yard One - Synapse [Tact Recordings]
For more than a decade, Yard One have played the long game, releasing smart, often under-the-radar records that quietly land in the bags of selectors who value depth over hype. With Neuroglow EP, the duo circle back to their home base, Tact Recordings, not with nostalgia but with the same grounded confidence that’s defined their output since the beginning. “Synapse,” our premiere for today, captures that ethos in full: precise, atmospheric, and unafraid to sit in its own mood without forcing a payoff.
“Synapse” feels like a mood caught mid-transition, weightless but restless, like something unfolding in slow motion under strobe lights. There’s a glassy clarity to the pads, stretched just wide enough to pull the track into dream territory, but underneath it all, that modular sequence keeps things twitching, alert. And then come the strings, not ornamental, but emotional, like a voice without words. In “Synapse” Yard One are sketching atmosphere with intent. The track lingers in your memory because it hits that strange, rare note between melancholy and movement.
‘Neuroglow’ EP has already gotten great feedback from DJs worldwide and will be available for purchase on July 23.
