Cyda touches down on Minitel with ‘Ground Control’, a full-length album that feels like a carefully charted flight through time, emotion, and dancefloor energy. Following his 2024 debut EP Can’t Stop This Feeling on the label, the Indonesian producer returns with a bold statement, marking his first-ever album release and further solidifying his place within the Minitel universe.

Framed as an immersive journey, Ground Control unfolds across nine tracks and just under an hour of music, drawing deeply from the golden era of 90s progressive house and early 2000s trance. From the opening moments, Cyda invites listeners to fasten their seat belts and surrender to the ride — one powered by phat, rolling basslines, soul-soaked vocals, delicate harmonic layers, and expansive atmospheric pads. Housy, trance-leaning synth leads glide effortlessly through the mix, blending nostalgia with a refined, modern production touch.

Based between Jakarta and China, Cyda’s sound reflects both global perspective and personal storytelling. Each track feels like a destination of its own, moving between euphoric lift-offs and dreamy, indie-tinged stopovers, while maintaining a consistent sense of momentum designed to ignite the dancefloor. The album balances emotion and energy with precision, capturing the spirit of classic progressive music while pushing it forward into the present.

Ground Control is not just a collection of tracks — it’s a complete sonic voyage, one that rewards both focused listening and peak-time play. You can now listen to the full premiere of the title track ‘Ground Control’ exclusively on When We Dip, and prepare for acceleration.
