The latest addition to the Figure roster comes in form of French producer Arkan. A musician from young age, he combines minimalist, deep-cut grooves with understated harmonies. His first release on the label arrives as part one of his Lightworker double EP, giving the artist ample room to showcase his own vision of contemporary, "mental techno" as he dubs it himself. Fitting this description, opener "Delirium" is a deeply hypnotic tune, mastering the subtle art of sustain and release to effortlessly cycle its own energy. "Vicious Night" then tips towards a more percussively lead momentum yet stays true to the less-is-more approach of Arkan. On the flip he gets to further build on his musical ideas, whether it be the melodic fragments echoing pensively in and out of the 4/4 grid over the galloping beat of "Voltaris" or eventually the saccharine, IDM-reminiscent ambient closer "What Is Born Cannot Die."
