Rébeval – Rébeval [LIES056]

Paris veteran DJ Deep joins the L.I.E.S. roster with a new three track EP paying homage to the days of old when house and techno were a fresh and exciting music revolution. This EP perfectly balances the sounds and energy of the past with renewed vibrance and resurgence of what’s happening now in Paris.

Mark E – Emergency [ESP025]

Mark E with his first offering for the ESP Institute. ‘Laurentian Abyss’ undoubtedly conjures narrative images from the depths of a man’s soul, trudging through an array of rhythmic pulse, percussion and arpeggiation that resembles the inner workings of a grandfather clock, based on a disorienting 5/4 timing yet culminating in a singular stroke. On the flip side, the title track ‘Emergency’ begins with the formula for which we know Mark E best, the ultimate tease winding us up for the big payoff, yet here we’re forced into a cyclical trance which diverts our attention so effectively that we never actually receive what we’ve been waiting for, Mark’s elusive drop.
