End of Line, the label founded by Warface, currently consisting of Bloodlust, D-Sturb, and Warface, introduced Cryex as their newest addition during the Defqon.1 afterparty. With his arrival, the collective expands to four artists. Cryex used his surprise performance to present a set filled entirely with new music, showcasing the latest direction in his production style.
15 minutes of raw premieres
Cryex had exactly 15 minutes to mark the occasion and used the time to unveil six new tracks, including a remix of Bloodlust’s ‘Freefall’ and a new edit of ‘Cryexgenic 2.0’. This surprise set highlighted that Cryex is not only back, but creatively reinvigorated. His new material reflects a renewed passion and drive.
A fresh boost for End of Line
While End of Line is known for its raw power and top-tier production quality, Cryex brings an element of unpredictability to the roster. His sound remains recognizable, yet it has clearly evolved. Tracks like ‘Empty Pistols’ and his new collaboration with Mish, ‘Ghost Town’, show that Cryex is confidently carving his own path within the label’s boundaries and in doing so, reinforcing the collective’s strength.
