Vadim Svoboda - Motifs EP - EKLO

Having previously collaborated with the likes of Masomenos, it's no surprise to find that French producer Vadim Svoboda is enamoured with the quirkier end of minimal music, and so he fits right in on Seuil's Eklo imprint. "15" keeps the vibe dry and sparse, with slender percussion and only the barest of melodic elements in a decidedly abstract vein, while "Autiste Redding" lets a processed vocal hiccup sneak in to the mix while the rest of the framework remains concise and methodical. "Subhouse" is where things get cheekier, getting a more discernable groove on and firing off a more playful spread of samples, without overdoing it of course.
