Last year, Bastien Carrara joined forces with Rawthenticity boss Fulbert on Mont Cenis Tapes 01, a cassette of collaborative explorations in the experimental end of dusty deep house. This outing for Funkineven's Apron imprint marks his solo debut, and it's something of an action-packed hit. A-side "Summer Breeze" is something of a slammer, with dreamy pads and swirling synthesizer chords riding a thumping, distorted drum machine groove. "Diskother" sees him change tack to deliver a loved-up, pitched-down instrumental '80s soul edit, before he brings out the drum machines once more on the tactile, late night oddness of leftfield deep house gem "Kinda Late".
