Demian 'Milestars' EP (Kompakt)
Dèmian is considered a pioneer of the minimal electro sound that’s emanating out of Northern Spain at the moment, with releases on labels such Correspondant and Clouded Vision. So it’ll probably come as no surprise that Damien Pontonnier, the man behind the alias, has now landed himself a spot on esteemed imprint Kompakt with a three-track EP of kinetic electro that just oozes quality. All three tracks have a low-key aura about them, as Pontonnier delivers mellow electro that oscillates from the fuzzy propulsion of ‘Delica’ to the more rousing suspense of ‘Milestars’. The icing on the cake is ‘No Hype For The Fish’, a neon-clad cut of cyborg funk that shouldn’t work, but just does.
