With a long career spanning the late ’90s and having produced masterpieces on labels such as 〈PERLON〉 and 〈KARAT〉, microhouse legend AKUFEN made his long-awaited comeback in 2021 after a two-year hiatus! From deep house featuring melodies vividly colored by strings and bells to minimal house with grooves intricately woven from pixelated pads, the quality is, as expected, top-notch.
Track List
AKUFEN—who has reigned as a key figure in Montreal’s minimal “modern house” scene under various aliases such as “HORROR INC.” and “THE STOWAWAY”—is back with a long-awaited new release! The release kicks off with “The Arising Of The Phoenix (In Memory Of Marc Bartissol)” (sample1), the album showcases melodic and deep house grooves, including the minimal house track “Running Out Of Thyme” (sample2)—where finely chopped pads and drums interplay—and “Pickled Beets” (sample3), which features a deep, dubby bassline.
