Velvet Spirit Vinyl & CDs

Review: Parisian duo Charonne bring together twelve hands across five collaborative tracks for a playful and percussive survey of contemporary minimal. On the A-side, French producers Krol and Aman Umber ease in with 'Feel the B', all loose-limbed rhythm and brushed hi-hats, while Londoners Jhobei and Charleze follow with 'Myrtle the Moaner', a slick, glitched-out roller threaded with warped vocal stabs. 'Deeming Lights' from Dry/Wet (aka Italian duo Numero 6 and Laura G) keeps things twitchy but sensual. Flip for a moodier detour from French groove mechanic Aladdin on 'Like Dis', steeped in dubby bass pressure and clustered FX. Mooglee, based in Marseille, closes with 'Rushin', a fast, squelchy bubbler that balances trippy atmospherics with dancefloor focus. One for heads and hips alike.
