Rebuild EP - Ballet Mechanique (EPMmusic)

Genre: Techno


1: Rebuild

4: Big Hearts


Bit late with this one, but don’t know how it slipped under my radar as Ballet Mechanique have been in my sights for a while now thanks to their recent reissues on Delsin. This is new stuff though, the first for a long time, and it’s good to hear that it doesn’t stray from the melodic, Detroit and IDM inspired stuff that came out on Eevolute when such things where still finding their feet. The title track is a sweeping piece of space-age grandiosity that would embellish any imaginative set. This is an ambience that infuses the entire package, with varying degrees of intensity. ‘Share The Feeling’ keeps up a similar momentum, while both ‘Echo Catcher’ and ‘Big Hearts’ use break beats as melodic undulation, easing off the gas as they do. The tracks are 50% optimistic energy with the other 50% more introspective. Which is nice.
