Review: Eric C Burton's output under the Rabit moniker has grown and grown over recent years, taking him from labels like Tri Angle to other strongholds such as Ninja Tune - not bad for a man who enjoys making some of the oddest, most explorative strains of electronic music around! Interestingly, Les Fleurs Du Mal is his debut release on his own Halcyon Veil imprint, having preferred the music of other artist over his own, up until now. The album is a nutty hodgepodge of designer electronics and psychedelic field recordings, blended into one masterful wall of abstractions. Much like the type of work on imprints like PAN or Editions Mego, this is the arthouse of electronic music, glitching and turning voraciously around each corner. What an impressive cocktail of surrealism.
Review: For the time being, Mhysa's true identity shall remain incognito. We have no problems with that and in fact, we respect a breakthrough artist who is trying to let their music speak for itself, without all the social extras that too often swell up our scene with noise. This is the artist's debut LP, Fantasii, and it lands on Rabit's wayward Halcyon Veil label - just perfect. As the title so boldly implies, the album resides in a strange and compelling world of designer sonics and freeform sound collages which cover dozens of genres and influences. It's a dream in and of itself. Given its broad reach and diversity of sounds, it'll undoubtedly appeal to the less rigid ears, perhaps to those who enjoy bass music with a few extra perks than just the low frequencies. For fans of Throwing Shade et al.
