New Hivern signing Cleveland – AKA up-and-coming producer Andrea Mancini – is living proof that there’s more to Luxembourg than tax-dodging corporations and trilingual residents. Certainly, this is an assured label debut, packed full of atmospheric, off-kilter compositions and ear pleasing, analogue-sounding deep house. He begins with the starry synths, bubbly electronics and scattergun drums of the colourful “Shine”, before melding electro sounds and breakbeat drum patterns on the similarly melodious “Mercury”. He successfully strips back that track on the superb “Early Dub” – think Wolf Mueller on anti-depressants – while “Atlas” sounds like a deep house tribute to vintage Detroit futurism. It’s the finest moment on a pleasingly strong EP.
