Houle is one of the most quietly prolific techno producers out there and on his latest album for Items & Things sees him push in a deeper direction than before. There are echoes of Houle’s minimal past throughout Sinister Mind – and it is most evident on the rickety “Conbular” – but the strength of this work lies in its author’s abilities to fuse precise, dissected rhythms with diverse sound pallettes. This results in the Aril Brikha meets Minus deep techno of “Paligama”; the title track, where Dave Gahan-style vocals are merged with evocative chords and the ebm-influenced groove of “Maskatron”. Houle even turns his hand to underground electro on “Bassoffific”, where bugged out 808s come together with his microscopic percussion to form an unusual, highly distinctive arrangement.
