Olo France Vinyl & CDs

Review: When it comes to blending deep house, tech-house and hazy minimalism, you can't beat the hybrid sounds emerging from Paris. While new artists are appearing all the time, Miroloja are old hands, having released their first EPs back in 2017. They're still masters of the sound too, as this four-tracker emphatically proves. They begin confidently via the spacey electronics, elastic synth-bass, hypnotic beats and intergalactic pads of 'Evoorg', before opting for a darker, chunkier and more percussive early morning sound on 'Percstherapy'. Pathagonia remixes that cut, giving it a bouncier and dreamier breakbeat house flex, before Miroloja plumb even deeper depths on the loved-up lusciousness of shuffling closing cut 'Conspiracy'.

Review: The small but already well-formed Flo label out of France welcomes two homebodies in Janet and Miroloja to come together on this sublime two tracker. It is a heady mix of techno styles starting with the adventure that is 'Comex'. This one rides on snappy drums and snare petters, with acid lines gurgling away up top next to twitchy stabs that keep the vibes alive. 'Yaw' takes a different approach - it's a more fair-sighted and introspective affair with balmy pads circling around the smooth grooves. Two timeless grooves for different moments in the night.
