One of L.I.E.S. most promising artists pays up a superb session of sub-aquatic house murk on ‘Porte Maillot’. A-side ‘Fleuve’ works right up our alley with tumbling voodoo drums and woozy pads like some soundtrack to being chased by evil spirits thru swampland at midnight. Not sure if that’s what you want in a club, but we wouldn’t say no. Similarly , ‘Laghi Sotterranei’ isolates the same sort of mystic tension at a much slower pace, whilst B-side ‘Kohle (Beats)’ ups the ante with bristling drum patterns and insistent bass surges layered with psychoactive samples drawing the ear outwards, and ‘Archives’ clocks out with a darker abstract tape vignette.
