LLEWELLYN Vinyl & CDs

Review: Leipzig-based record label Riotvan indulges Llewellyn here with a superb full length on limited edition vinyl. The prolific local producer known to his mum as Martin Enke deal in deep house but not as you know it: his sodas come with all sorts of smart drum patterns and retro synth sounds that make them all the more unique. 'On The Edge' is fine example with its suspenseful pads and busy analogue drums, while '1998' has as synths-pop feel and plenty of lush cosmic arps unfolding over the hurried drums. 'Fractured Memories' is another synth laced house jam with squelchy bass that is sure to being some good times.

Review: Prolific Leipzig-based producer Martin Enke aka Llewellyn presented the fabulous These Days EP a couple of years back on local imprint Riotvan, and it receives a welcome repress here for 2021. The title track is a serving of neon-lit euphoria that straddles the line between nu-disco and deep house, while the Italo-influenced night moves of 'I Wish I Could Have Seen It All' guides you through the lasers and smoke, powered by a razor sharp arpeggio. Over on the flip, he switches gears on the slo-mo sunset balearica of 'Fleshed Out' taking you on a breezy night drive along the coast.
