Paul Walter Remix)‘Pancouff’ opens the EP and sees Drux lay down metallic percussion, swaying low-end tones and crisp hatsalongside murky, unfurling atmospherics, hypnotic choir like chants and twitchy synths throughout. ‘Faire unflot’ follows and weaves together a snaking sub bass groove with shuffled, organic drums, glitched out synthsand billowing textures.Title-cut and Albin Renard collab ‘Replicant’ opens the flip side, stripping things back to snappy woodenpercussion, hypnotising spoken word vocals, ethereal synth swells and a fluttering low-end drive. Vienna’s PaulWalter then rounds out the EP with his ‘my Stellababy Remix’, extracting the core vibe of the original whilestamping his unique mark on things via oscillating drums, choppy vocal cuts and sweeping, airy tonesthroughout.
