Philippe Petit – Venus

This London label has a great track record in cultivating new talent, and Venus by upcoming artist Philippe Petit is no exception. The title track is a high-octane affair, centred on a steely percussive rhythm, tough tribal drums and soaring acid lines. In stark contrast is “Guadalupe”. It sounds like the French producer has taken inspiration from Detroit producer Terrence Dixon. Teeming with pointillist bleeps and subsonic pulses, its slinky rhythm is a lesson in sleek techno. “Meteorite” follows in a similar vein, but this time Petit adds in snapping percussion and a more menacing undercurrent. The label’s choice of remixer for “Meteorite” is spot on, with Fachwerk’s Roman Lindau adding in ominous, dubby chord washes and stabbing percussion.
