Played by: Dj Pencil
Review: 11 months on the release from his breakthrough album, the excellent Talisman, Normandy native Fakear returns with a sequel of sorts, Hypertalisman. At the heart of the album is a woozy, often picturesque trademark sound that cannily combines elements hyper-pop (specifically cut-up and mutilated vocal samples), deep house, and the kind of impossible-to-pigeonhole, UK bass-adjacent melodic excellence that was once the preserve of electronica. Of course, there's plenty of wriggle room within that stylistic template, allowing Fakear to place ultra-gorgeous, head-nodding slow jams such as 'Prism' next to heady, house-fired club workouts such as 'About You' and the bouncy, techno-tinged 'Healing'. Further highlights include the dark jungle influenced 'Training Lesson' and the gorgeous, tactile brilliance of 'Underwater', featuring sublime vocals courtesy of KAVYA.

Fakear feat Rae Morris
Review: "Silver", featuring the folksy, emotive vocals of Rae Morris, was one of the undoubted highlights of Fakear's recent Counter Records debut, Animal. Here, the track gets re-formatted for the dancefloor by a quintet of talents. There's a British bass-house-meets-tech-house interpretation from DrumTalk, a similarly large, EDM-tinged, radio-friendly rework from Few Nolder (who makes great use of the original's piano motifs), and a dense, deep house-goes-tribal tweak from Bakradze (arguably the EP's standout moment, thanks to the combination of layered drums and lilting melodies). As if that wasn't enough, Gacha also delivers a wonderfully dreamy, sunset-friendly downtempo remix.

Review: Ninja Tune offshoot Counter Records usually has its' finger on the pulse, so it's little surprise to see that they've snapped up fast-rising beat-maker Fakear. Animal is his second full-length, and first since self-released 2012 debut Washin' Machine, and neatly encapsulates what's best about the producer's hard-to-define work. Built on manipulated vocal samples, off-kilter outsider house rhythms, melodious synthesizer work and folksy instrumentation (sultry strings, banjo and acoustic guitar are all thrown into the mix), Animal is a hugely entertaining and evocative set. This digital edition includes a clutch of bonus tracks, including the deep tropical pop of "Mamaha (Energy Song)", and the dubstep-influenced bliss of "Song For Jo".
