LYAM 008EP
|
For its latest release, Last Year in Marienbad welcomes back French producer Moonee, who delivers an EP brimming with his signature blend of euphoric and emotive grooves. One of François Lefevre's main aliases, Moonee explores the airier side of dance music, crafting deeply immersive sonic experiences that evoke introspection and escapism. While initially focused on deep house, his sound has evolved across recent releases, particularly on his Sandquest LP for OATH. His finely curated approach highlights fluid, intuitive soundscapes that invite repeat listens. His new EP, Brotherhood, is perhaps his most refined and carefully poised work to date. The title track's "Glitched" version opens with a sense of urgency, combining a stepping garage beat, lo-fi vocal snippets, and deep basslines. "Existenz" follows, elevating four-on- the-floor energy with intricate rhythmic textures and a rich, orchestral-like melodic palette. "Panorama" rounds off the EP's initial arc with playful vocal samples and an uplifting bassline -- perfect for late-night city wanderings. Closing out the release, Oath affiliate Moomin reinterprets the title track with an electro-infused remix. More understated than the original, his version builds gradually, offering a masterclass in energy control. For those seeking enriching grooves, entrancing melodies, and warmth, Brotherhood delivers. It's a journey through electronic currents, shifting effortlessly between moments of calm and surging energy -- press play and dive in.
