Banileue Records boss Benoit B lands on Facta and K-LONE’s Wisdom Teeth imprint with a spacious four-track
set of dazzling new-age steppers. The record follows on from Benoit’s excellent Japonaiserie EP - a stunning
tribute to Japanese synth music released last year on Berceuse Heroique. OnVague à l’ me, the melodic ideas
developed on the Japonaiserie EP are set to work against broken beats and UK-leaning rhythms, bringing it in
line with the output of Wisdom Teeth label-mates Duckett, K-LONE and Don’t DJ. The EP is bookended by a pair
of euphoric broken-beat rollers: first, the melodic bleeps and weighted kicks of the title track; and to close, the
scuzzy pads and glissando synths of Kimono. Sat between them are two lean, smokey half-steppers: the record’s
vocal centrepiece, Gyvenimo Tėkmė (featuring Lithuanian songwriter Dália), and Ice Valley - an intergalactic
slowjam built around dubbed-out bleeps and yearning cluster chords.
