Unicorn Paranoia vinyl

New Francois X gear on the highly-rated, Paris-based Dement3d Records - and that means 'banger' alert! The techno-house producer has been missing in action for a little while, but his name strikes fear into any serious techno DJ wanting to shake things up on the floor. This time, the man starts off with the glitchy, beatless sound experiment called "Time", which acts as a sort of hors d'oeuvre to the first course that is "Unicorn Paranoia", a sinister slice of minimal techno that brings us back to the golden years of labels like Plus8. On the B-side, "The Persis-Tence Hunting" is most certainly the main meal thanks to its driving horn of a bassline, and "Vivid Dreams" ties this wormhole of an EP off with elegance and precision. Recommended.
