Sunareht - Youth EP Vinyl Record

LUCKYMEÆ kick off 2024 with a debut EP from Parisian producer Sunareht. Forged from the scene around Teki Latex and his Sound Pellegrino label, Sunareht - alongside contemporaries Le Dom, To Van Kao, De Grandi and Birol - runs Paradoxe Club, a label championing forward-thinking French dance music. Youth EP is exactly that - six fizzing club cuts that take the familiar French Touch sound, before dialling it up to eleven and flinging it into the far future. Samples are chopped into fluttering sequences and married with the glistening, bass-heavy sound design of post-dubstep and hyperpop.

Opening track Promises ft regular collaborator and Aphex Twin favourite Le Dom is a certified party-starter, and a perfect introduction into the technicolour world of Sunareht. The rotating hook ducks and weaves through beautifully crafted drums in an unsettling bitcrushed landscape - as if the track cant handle its own bandwidth. Elsewhere, title track Youth squeezes every drop out of a stuttering pop sample, rendering it unrecognisable; and Break Bandits provides a bright euphoria, mixing Etienne de CrÈcy synths with Overmono-style vocals.
