Review: Dehousy is sometimes described as a house producer, but this categorisation is only true in the broadest sense. As "Break", one of the tracks on his new release demonstrates, the French DJ takes a broad, free-wheeling approach to dance music. The result is an irresistibly funky, drum-heavy workout that takes in hypnotic chants, gut-busting bass and centres on a stepping rhythm. "Stage 2" is similarly vivid, with Dehousy throwing Middle Eastern chants and organic percussion into an arrangement that veers from stepping into 4/4s. Rounding off this fine release is Addison Groove's frenetic take on the title track.
Review: Dehousy has been a touch sporadic with his releasing output, with only one release to his name on Conquistadores, but here is proudly surfacing on the French (Re)Sources label with an extended EP of sparse broken breats and cavernous walls of sonics. "Unknown Fluids" itself is a thing of beauty, where dubbed-out drones meet lonesome percussion shots, but we're also vibing "On The Edge" and Trap Door's remix of the same track, a strangely angelic sequence of sounds amid the darkness and menace of the groove. Tight!
