Louis The 4th – TAR 25

Louis the 4th is a master of groovy and percussive techno and if you need any more evidence of that then check out this new EP on TH Tar Hallow. ‘Rootedness’ is a roller with slick hi-hats ticking away over rubbery bass. ‘Conception’ is more edgy and kinetic with razor-sharp snares over more silky drums. ‘Two Days Before Leaving’ has hefty dub undercurrents and panel-beaten loops that make you march while ‘Tumultuous Groove’ is a more intense number with grit and steel in its robust groove framework. ‘Frequencies’ shuts down with a haunting and eerie synth mood.
