Following Lone AKA Matt Cutlers stunning sixth album Levitates hallucinogenic joyride through breakbeats, he returns to R&S with Ambivert Tools the first in a series of EPs for the floor returning to hypnotic 4/4 excursions.
Inspired in no small part by the rich seam of house that hes been excavating with his fine Magicwire imprint, a refreshed Cutler delivers an EP stacked with sure-fire bullets, crafted for his intoxicating DJ sets.
First up is Crush Mood – crunching drums, lush resampled chords and dulcet female vox combine into a heady, peak-time rush. Chroma’ comes off like a lost 90s anthem, with its shimmering vibes, airy chords and bumpy rhythm track. B-side closer From A Past Life could well be the strongest track on the EP – hazy Emulator ii chords, spiral arpeggios, gooey bass and woozy african percussion that finds Lone digging deeper into some of his more esoteric House music influences. ‘Ambivert Tools’ finds Cutler a true master, at the top of his game – taking all hes learned over his many years of beat exploration and condensing it down into rugged house stacked full of nagging melody / harmony that elegantly pays tribute to bygone years whilst simultaneously feeling fresh and vital to 21st century dance floors.
