LAWRENCE - BLUE MOUNTAIN - MULE MUSIQ 174

Ever a powerhouse of quality, mood-enhancing electronic music of a 4/4 persuasion, Lawrence returns to his regular stomping ground Mule Musiq for another delectable EP of subliminal sounds for deep questing spinners and sofa jockeys alike. "Blue Mountain" is a shimmering triumph of cascading synths and poised drums, unfurling the component parts with poise while always marching forwards. "Simmer" takes you on a haunting diversion into reflective electro for laying your head down to, while "The Cave" creates a more mischievous kind of fairy tale that makes for one of the pinnacles of the record. "King Quail" then smooths things out with a more steady ticking kind of house jam, albeit shot through with the same misty melodic refinement that we would always expect from Lawrence.
