It says something quite powerful upon listening to the opening seconds of Unsaid just how profound the experience has already become. That taste remains potent throughout the album reflecting the artist’s personal experiences almost like a past tense resonating into the future self. Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch’s fusion of quietly intense moment’s plays like a personal conversation

Mahalo sounds like the party has already started. Dancing with crazy pleasure, lost in a tomorrow of future Jazz incantations, sharp beats and smooth chords talking up soulful yesterday’s while notes melt together celebrating. The title track from this latest collection is, and I seem to be repeating the words again, one of his finest

Drugs Here. Sometimes you need a little shake, rattle and roll. Yet it’s not about connecting fucking dots. It’s about…well, listen. Listen to furious, uncompromising energy fuse through machines that should really know better. Plain but perhaps not so simple. Next, No Time To Lose feels unfeasibly fast and loose punctuated by throbbing bass and

Seeking out the edges of existence isn’t an uncomplicated place to dwell but the subsequent rewards for the listener are temptingly ecstatic.

It’s a breathtakingly simple proposition and yet a rigorously difficult achievement I should imagine. The

Maybe it’s the title Mind Power Mind Control, maybe it’s the searing intent fuelling this incapacitating listen as dangerous electronics hardwire themselves into your consciousness. Maybe it is simply because this is outstanding Art or music, call it what you will. It’s so tempting to ignore the labels added by the mainstream mind-set to categorise

If the appeal of grainy, analogue holds sway then this is most definitely something you will want to experience. Temptation is all about the soul of machines and their consequent human interaction, which in this case positively smoulders offering deep drums offset by cosmically charged future echoes. The Mathimidori interpretation is likewise excellent adding a

The word rugged was built specifically for this production. After all who doesn’t love bass. Mareen Life is all about bubbling low-end theory, thumping kicks plus reverberating synth lines hinting at an incendiary melodic charge, complimented by an array sizzling sound effects. Good remix from Audio Analysts too who transform it via a heavy dose
