IV – V – I – vi progression in D# major
D# Unresolved Cycle — IV – V – I – vi
The D# IV–V–I–vi progression (G# – A# – D# – Cm) creates a hypnotic, cyclical feel by ending on the minor vi chord instead of resolving to the tonic. With extended voicings (G#Maj7 – A#7 – D#Maj7 – Cm7), the unresolved quality becomes even more dreamy.
