Liam MillerCENKK’s latest release on Moodyverse approaches club music as a question of balance rather than impact. Freaky People and In Rio sit at opposite ends of his current spectrum, connected not by aesthetic similarity but by intent. Both tracks are built with awareness of how sound travels, how tension forms, and how momentum is sustained across different environments.
Freaky People operates through repetition with purpose. Its groove stays locked while details shift gradually, allowing DJs to maintain energy without forcing transitions. The track is less about moments and more about duration, making it effective in longer sets where continuity matters. In Rio, meanwhile, expands the frame. Percussive rhythms and vocal textures inspired by Brazilian traditions intersect with operatic and cinematic elements, creating a track that invites interpretation as much as movement.
What makes the release compelling is its refusal to overstate its ideas. There’s confidence in restraint, and a clear understanding of when to let a track do the work on its own terms. Rather than chasing a specific scene or trend, CENKK focuses on adaptability, crafting music that holds up in clubs, warehouses, and more intimate listening contexts alike.
As a paired release, Freaky People / In Rio highlights an artist refining his approach without narrowing his scope. It’s a reminder that club music can be functional and expressive at the same time, as long as both are treated with intention.
