Lewis Fautzi – Into The Unknown

Faut Section is Lewis Fautzi’s own label its last trick of the year is another brilliant one. Fautzi’s take on techno will be familiar to anyone who likes it deep and classy and that’s just what you get from the opener ‘Uncharted Realms’. The drums are punchy but the mood is stripped back and designed to make you move. ‘Enlightenment’ is an edgy one with synths dangled above the loopy beats in an unsettling fashion, then ‘Time & Space’ ups the ante with burrowing basslines and leaner drums for late night marching. ‘Forging New Paths’ shuts down with icy percussion snaking its way between rooted, rolling drums. Stripped back and stylish perfection.
