Point G 'The Point G Experience' (Point G)
The alter-ego of French house stalwart DJ Gregory (Darsa), Point G is where the Parisian has sent his more trackier house productions over two decades. That said, between 1998 and 2012 Darsa mothballed Point G, until Dan Ghenacia badgered him into reissuing 1998’s shimmering, languid ‘Underwater’ for his new label, Apollonia. Darsa hasn’t stopped since. This compilation and added mix pulls together early releases and an abundance of contemporary material. The former includes another early gem in the gritty, itchy bounce of ‘Chicken Coma’. Of the latter incarnations, ‘Nebula’ is typical of Point G’s simple approach to ingredients, with a grainy, percussive loop and ominous synths. It’s house music at its primal best. Stephen Worthy
