Relledocs - Sanctuary EP [Chichi Music]

A refined analogue-driven micro-house journey shaped for underground dancefloors

With Sanctuary EP, Spanish artist Relledocs (Cillian / Maribel Arribas) delivers an articulate and immersive statement within the micro-house continuum. Released on the Italian imprint Chichi Music, the EP reflects the label’s devotion to analogue sound aesthetics, minimalistic structures and finely detailed rhythmic design—an approach that has defined its identity since its inception.

Track Analysis

1. Sanctuary

“Sanctuary” sets the tone with a hypnotic, percussive framework enriched by analogue textures and subtle modular artefacts. The groove is minimalist yet expressive, with micro-sampled nuances drifting across the stereo field. Its long-form architecture makes it an excellent tool for vinyl-only selectors who favour evolving, deep transitions.

2. Void Vector

This track moves into darker, more angular terrain. “Void Vector” is built around a weighty, controlled sub-bass and interlocking polyrhythms that stretch and contract with precision. The arrangement uses negative space masterfully, allowing each transient to breathe while maintaining sustained dancefloor tension.

3. Inner Realms

“Inner Realms” closes the EP with warmth and emotional subtlety. Rounded kicks and gliding analogue bass phrases create a soft, intimate atmosphere. The textures feel almost tactile, reminiscent of hardware-sourced imperfections that vinyl aficionados deeply appreciate.

Production & Mastering

All three tracks benefit from the meticulous mastering work of A’ Fiss’I Tò Suoaro, whose approach balances clarity, punch and analogue depth. The dynamics remain open, the stereo image detailed, and the overall sound tailored perfectly for club systems and vinyl cutting.
