PETIT BATOU 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Minimal house truly is ecological, as it describes the delicate and fine balance struck between fertile bass soils, sap-dripping drums, and underpopulated synth fauna. Bosom LTD know this, and thus their smartest move of late has been to enlist France's Petit Batou as ecologist-in-chief. 'Vouvray On The Grass' recalls the techy trances of Mr. G or John Tejada, developing into a slinky and sly acid version on the A2. 'Lawn Kart Circuit Master', meanwhile, sounds more like the inner workings of a calculator. Curious.

Review: The 5 Universos Chile label made a great debut back in March and we're glad they're back again with some more irresistible tech house tekkers. Once again this is a various artists affair that features one tune from the label's eponymous production outfit. That one is 'Allmin,' a lush and dubby world of slinky rhythm and bendy bass tones. Petit Batou's 'Camera Filming The Seabed' is an ambient laced sub-aquatic and minimal broken beat masterclass while Herck offers a more traditional tech grind and Claudio Solis layers up bubbly synths and bass into soothing perfectly fluid.
