len faki vs roman poncet: figure 54

Label-founder Len Faki has teamed up with young French talent Roman Poncet for their 54th release. "Asua" is a mesmerizing display of production skill and a testament to the duo's true understanding of hypnosis. Pushing from the start with its urgent bass line, the track builds and morphs its intertwining elements, introducing subtle textures and suggestions of melody. Faki's thunderous "Stripped" works his powerhouse percussion along with a textured dub-stab in this straight-up club trip. Roman Poncet's "Truck" completes the EP with rough synth-stabs and metallic percussion, driving this moody tension-builder ever forward.
