Falty Dl / Phreqaflex

Planet Mu

Falty DL is back on Planet Mu after last year's two well-received full-length releases. He's been busy working on tracks and remixes, building his reputation as a DJ and a producer. Falty's next two EPs find him applying his sound to one of two particular styles of electronic music. Phreqa-flex is the two-step EP; Endeavour, to be released in the fall, is Falty's take on house music. The three tracks here are tough as hell, built for tearing up dancefloors--which make them a step away from Falty's previous Mu releases. The bold "Phreqaflex" has keyboard stabs, shuffling drums and glassy pads while "Because You" uses triggered samples that fade and warp into the background over stormy chords, a huge bass-line and a stop/start melody backed by razor-sharp drums. Last but by no means least is "My Friends Will Always Say...", the most experimental and poppy track on the EP with a straightforward sampled melody line over off-key chords and worldless vocal lines that slip in and out.
