Philippe Petit At Juno Download

Review: This label has been on form lately, and Itadori continues its good run of form. Focusing on high-paced techno, Petit starts the EP in hypnotic mode, with a pulsing bassline and rattling percussion leading into a spacey segue. It sounds like Petit is a fan of such constructions because "November" is based on a similar approach, as heavy claps and detuned chords come together, eventually progressing into a magical denouement where layered claps and epic strings soar and soar. "Free" is a heavier affair, with relentless stabs and heavy acid lines ramming home the message, and Petit follows this approach on "Condemned", with metallic drums and a grainy bassline prevailing.
