After impressing with 12″ excursions on IBR and Beats In Space, Matt Karmil transfers to the long-playing format for the first time. The Cologne producer’s distinctive take on deep house – loose but hypnotic, featuring enveloping chords, scratchy found sounds and wonky, off-kilter rhythms – certainly suits the album format, making this debut something of a surprise winner. Karmil is at his best when lacing simple, hypnotic melodies over ultra-deep grooves, as on the enticing “Live The Dream” and “Frankrike (Float)”. Yet it’s arguably the album’s more intriguing moments – the cut-up deep techno pulse of “Holding” and dub techno-influenced “A Lot To Share” – that catch the ear the most. Either way, it’s a pretty strong debut.
