Luxus Varta – Retrofiction

Luxus Varta really shows his class on this sublime new EP, Retrofiction, for Hilltown Disco. It is richly layered with sound and emotion and plenty of intelligent synth designs from the off. The A-side brings plenty of magical melodic work with ‘Total Ghosting’ ring a jittery beat with silky arps and textured bass, while ‘Modulation Source’ has that classic eerie electro vibe and cyborg funk in its bones. ‘Full Duplex’ is a truly slamming cut then ‘Wrong Target’ ducks and dives on snappy drum kicks and taught, twanging bass. The final bit of chaos is ‘Off Screen’ with its twitchy stabs and punchy low ends.
