Luxus Varta 'Rosenhan Experiment' (Intramuros Records)
Emeric Di Paolo, aka Luxus Varta, makes his debut on newly minted Parisian label Intramuros Records with four slabs of futuristic electro that’ll quickly transport you to another planet. Opening track ‘Wenn’ sets the tone as Varta combines breakbeats with melodies as catchy as velcro before club weapon ‘Lizzy’ raises the temperature even higher with its impressive synths and brain-melting top lines. ‘Losquato’, on the flip, sees Varta employing Paris The Black Fu for a rambling monologue interspersed with punchy kicks and eerie tones, while ‘Tempsun’ dials its sci-fi influences up to 11 for an Orwellian cut of electro.
