BPC 337EP
|
Lewis Fautzi delivers a rich and detailed debut EP for Ellen Allien's BPitch Control label that is dedicated to the subtle art of techno minimalism. The Portuguese producer is pushing straight towards the future by reconciling his different musical heritages under one groove. The four tracks on Deep Illusion are as intricate as they are hard-hitting, suited perfectly for DJs who dare to go deep during peak-time hours.

Lewis Fautzi's fourth EP for Figure is a collection of tunes that interlock seamlessly in a gradual progression, displaying his skill for crafting tailor-made tools for every energy-level. Starting out with two elastic grooves, the A-side carefully sets the scene for what is yet to come. Careful layers of rich acid riffs and precise placement of atmospheric details and fine-tuned textures -- this clearly is the work of a producer on top his game. Keeping the finesse, but amping up the oomph, the B-side bursts out with two heavy-hitters that pull out all the stops.

2023 repress. Elocution is the third Figure EP from Portuguese producer Lewis Fautzi, again displaying a high degree of versatility but still clearly cut for the club. Employing a rich yet spacious sound design, Fautzi creates cinematic -scapes that are at once both brimming with the hums of colossal interstellar machinery, yet at the same time leave enough room for a range of carefully sculpted elements to do their work. Whether it be the twisted acid arpeggio on opener "Shizophrenia", the imposing drones underscoring the mighty "Mirror" or the propulsive percussion of centerpiece "37B".

Lewis Fautzi follows his 2014 full-length debut, The Gare Album, with the galaxy-spanning Space Exploration, a special collection of tracks focused on the more experimental side of techno. Never one to allow himself to get caught up in one style, Fautzi set himself the challenge of creating an album with more depth and insight into his creative process, bringing more of his emotion to the music: "I think an artist should explore what they feel and what they like and I made this album because it was a challenge that I had in mind." With Space Exploration, the young Portuguese producer intends for the listener to be taken on a journey through not only his deeper, more emotive side but also through their own understanding of modern, experimental techno.
