Smart 3rd album from Chevel, his 1st for Stroboscopic Artefacts after a couple of ace 12"s for the Berlin label. The expanded album canvas gives nuff room for the Italian producer to explore his efficiently minimal and tricksy style of syncopated techno/electro swing and nudge in 12 parts. Coolly sidestepping cliche to pursue a nuanced, idiosyncratic style of programming that relishes in teasing our sense of spatial proprioception and rhythmic anticipation with rarified, dub-wise reductionism and SND-like precision. It's not necessarily dancefloor gear, but nimble DJs will have fun slipping these tracks into sets - all the better for dancers who can get down without a regular hi-hat!
