Parisian minimal house hero and Aeternum Records boss Lowris is back with more reductionist mini-funk grooves on this neat three tracker; his second release since for 2017 after his impressive appearance on Russia's Nervmusic. On the A side, "Bestyolle" sees him still carrying the flame for classic microhouse sounds, channelling the heyday of seminal imprints such as Force Inc. and Background. With rhythms comprised of found sounds with assorted trippy synthesis: it's heady stuff right here! Next "Setup" is definitely more dancefloor friendly with its dubby groove; albeit particularly lean, but allowing the subtle tape delayed drums and random bass pulses to create lovely trance induction. The backdrop of yet more field recordings add to the mystery. On the flip, Berlin hero Edward (White/Giegling) delivers an upbeat remix of "Bestyolle" using his signature style of dusty broken beat, to carry the odd sample collage of the original into new and adventurous territory.
