French JOVM mainstay LutchamaK‘s latest EP, the four-track Hybrid EP sees the prolific producer continuing to bounce around several different styles and genres of electronic music, all while showcasing an uncanny ability to make it cohesive.
I’ve managed to write about three of the EP’s singles:
- EP title track “Hybrid,” a slick synthesis of joyous Larry Levan-like house, and glitchy, industrial-leaning Detroit and Berlin-like techno that slaps hard.
- “Innsæi,” a swaggering banger that recalls Tour de France-era Kraftwerk and John Carpenter soundtracks paired with some glitchy, retro-futuristic synths.
- “Outside Observer,” a brooding and subtly menacing bit of house featuring skittering, tweeter and woofer rattling hook, atmospheric bass synths, glitchy oscillations and a spoken word vocal sample. While reminding listeners of the JOVM mainstays uncanny knack for sleek productions paired with razor sharp hooks, “Outside Observer” continues a run of remarkably cinematic yet club friendly material.
“What We Do” sees the French JOVM mainstay crafting a deep house-meets-Tour de France-era Kraftwerk production featuring stuttering boom bap, shimmering synths and glistening oscillations with a retro-futuristic vocal sample. Out of the EP’s four singles, “What We Do” may arguably be the EP’s most direct and straightforward deep house banger.
