Eyedeal EP vinyl

The re-emergence of Paris as a hub for engaging new techno continues apace here with the first release from Unlearn, a label whose releases aim to make you "forget everything you've ever been taught in order to rediscover music in its realest and most personal way." Choosing Vanguard Sound co-founder Chris Mitchell to launch the label is a smart move then, with the American producer responsible for some of the most vibrant and percussively interesting house music at the moment. The Eyedeal EP finds Mitchell on inspired form which impresses from the opening title track to the end. The manner in which a compressed kick drum is consumed by the increasingly psychedelic surroundings is truly memorable as is the way in which XDB transforms the track on his remix. Facedown, "Caj" sees Mitchell in more forthright mood with an insistent key refrain hooking you right away, whilst "Bubblin" will appeal to Joey Anderson fans.
