Review: Following releases on Mord, Soma and his own Faut Section - home to the recent Manner Of Death album - Lewis Fautzi drops this four-tracker on Polegroup. "Total Absence" kick-starts the EP to the sound of robust drums and a growling bass, with Fautzi adding in rasping percussion. "Ground State" is a rolling affair, where the dense drums are populated with tonal bleeps. "Paranoia" sees Fautzi go down a more hypnotic route, as layered tones unfold over a throbbing groove. It's only a temporary distraction, and "Uncertainty" is a peak-time track that resounds to powerful, sweeping filters and a relentless groove.

Review: Lewis Fautzi returns to Polegroup with a four-tracker that covers some of techno's most underground tropes. "Induced Pulse" resounds to booming broken beats and is swathed in dense textures and dissected vocal hooks - a nod to the signature sound of label owner Oscar Mulero. On "Undirected Differential", Fautzi pushes in a more linear direction: powered by grimy kicks and unflinching percussion, it's an effective, stripped back track. "Intense Mechanism" continues farther down this path: soundtracked by eerie filters, powerful bass drums and wiry percussion, this combination makes for a crafty peak time workout. "Stimulated Desorption" is the most intense track on offer here though, with the Portuguese producer dropping a pulsating, throbbing peak-time groove powered by waves of percussive crescendos.

Review: Mind is Fautzi's third album and follows two long players for Soma as well as a brace of EPs on Figure, Warm Up and Pole. It's a mysterious, textured affair that begins with the ambient noise of "Psychopath" before moving into the eerie sound scape menace of "Entering". The Portuguese producer then shifts his attention towards the dance floor - "Subconscious" is a stripped back, minimal groove laden down with eerie soundscapes, while on "Defracted" and "Rentless", he veers down a tunnelling, acid soaked path, like a murky, visceral version of Sandwell District. "Seasick" is darker and more droning, led by a Mike Parker-style bass, but no matter what style he tuns his hand to, Mind demonstrates that Fautzi is a master.
