Description
2017, 12″ EP, Ornate Music.
It’s early days for Jakob Panthel and his Faune alias, but he more than steps up to the plate as London label Ornate Music invite him to present his vision for immersive, techno tinged deep house. “5.34 AM” is aptly named, the undulating chord pulse at the heart of the track aiming for the woozy hour of the dance before dawn breaks through. “Reduit” is a more sprightly affair, using similar ingredients but pushing a brighter line in synths amidst the raw drums. “Grindewald” meanwhile heads out into more ambient techno territory with its plush pads and snaking arpeggios, soothing the feisty club-ready energy of the previous two tracks. – Juno
