Cybercafé launches Sequence Records, kicking off with joint EP alongside HearThuG

Cybercafé has launched his new imprint, Sequence Records, with the release of a joint EP in collaboration with HearThuG.

Titled ‘Cyber Alien Communication’, the four-track project marks the debut release from the SQNC collective as it evolves into a fully-fledged record label. The EP introduces two solo productions from each artist, offering a snapshot of their individual sonic approaches.

On the A-side, Tunisian artist HearThuG contributes a groove-forward club track, ‘Beep Bump Beep (Sex Mix)’ built around a playful vocal sample, followed by a more acid-leaning cut, ‘Moonrush’, which stays true to his fluid and rhythmic production style. Both tracks extend his established sound, balancing accessibility with an undercurrent of movement-focused energy.

The B-side shifts to the vision of label founder Cybercafé (pictured), also known as Adam Dirk’heim. His tracks, entitled ‘Hyperdrive’ and ‘Katorza’, lean into heavier textures, merging deep, driving kicks and distorted synths with retro-futuristic sensibilities. The result is a hypnotic, high-pressure sound designed for immersive late-night sets.

The release is supported visually by Omar Mobarek, who created both the label’s logo and the artwork for this debut EP. Speaking about the concept, he explains that the custom typeface used in the logo draws inspiration from the 1990s computer era, reflecting what he calls a “retro-futuristic” aesthetic. The uneven weight of the letters, he says, mirrors the individuality of each release while maintaining a sense of cohesion across the label’s identity.

The artwork for ‘Cyber Alien Communication’ references a Spanish-origin playing card deck that became part of Moroccan cultural heritage. Omar Mobarek describes the visual language as “an appreciation and destruction of our past” — a theme that runs through both the artwork and the music it accompanies.
