Plus One vinyl

Aussie minimal house explorer Litmus has been on the rise for some time, thanks in no small part to a zeitgeist-capturing sound that tends towards the smooth, spacey and funk-fuelled. You'll find no greater example of that personal production style than the title track of this EP for Up The Stuss. Its combination of bold, ear-catching bass, ricocheting vocal samples, loose-limbed tech-house drums and immersive pads is both evocative and addictive. Leo Pol delivers a tougher, more driving revision of 'Plus One' full of old school piano riffs and distorted acid bass, before Litmus pushes the sub-bass up and reaches for intergalactic electronics on 'Mon Dhaba'. If you're after a more summery, deep house flavoured number, his EP-closing hook-up with Black Loops has you covered.
