Eyes III by Sobolik

Early Reflex continues its Eyes series with a powerful return from Brooklyn-based producer Sobolik, whose distinctive and emotionally resonant club music first landed on the imprint with their debut EP Call in 2021. Now, with Eyes III, Sobolik re-emerges to offer two deeply introspective tracks shaped during a period of internal reckoning and artistic transformation.

Opening track “Sandbox” is a hypnotic roller driven by a constant mantric bass and led by ethereal, airy synths. The piece flows with emotional clarity, balancing softness and propulsion in equal measure—an entrancing meditation through rhythm and texture.
On the flip, “Turning Back” explores a darker, more angular energy. Grime-inflected and rhythmically jagged, it’s a downtempo club tool laced with syncopated beats and warped basslines. The track moves with restrained intensity, echoing internal shifts and the slow untangling of anxious loops.

With Eyes III, Sobolik expands on their singular voice within experimental club music, continuing Early Reflex’s commitment to foregrounding emotionally charged, forward-thinking sonic work.

Sobolik said:
"These are two tracks I shaped during a period of heavy emotional withdrawal," Sobolik shares. "A time when I needed to hold myself gently and cultivate a calm outlook of personal growth, beginning to shed old patterns and the anxiety surrounding them. Originating from my growing
curiosity for halftime rhythms, instrumental improv, and more exploratory compositional gestures, the music explores how textures and rhythms in a modern club music framework can breathe, undulate, interlace, and slide between stable and unstable states."
