Review: Not to be confused with a dethroned French monarch, Louis The 4th drops a crafty EP for the seminal Planet Rhythm label. With a focus on hard-edged, stripped back club techno throughout, the release gets off to a frenetic start thanks to the propulsive, percussive "Blue Monday". This regal sounding producer follows a similar path on "Auto Regulation", where a slamming rhythm goes through a series of filtered builds and drops. "Reconfiguration" resounds to a slower pace, with Louis The 4th dropping a rolling groove peppered with atmospheric synths and metallic percussion. "Slanted" is an outlier - the sound is more tribal, but thankfully, the impact remains the same.
