recondite: placid

When Recondite aka Lorenz Brunner emerged in 2012 with his debut album, On Acid, everyone was still learning about the German producer's inward-looking dancefloor sound. A few years later, his sinewy jams have proved near-universal -- like an underground Zelig, he's fit perfectly everywhere from Rødhåd's Dystopian label to Ghostly International and Innervisions. With Placid, Recondite's full-length return to Acid Test, he indulges his more outré tendencies -- and a welcome return it is. Digipak double CD includes the first-ever CD edition of On Acid. Placid features an appearance from Tale of Us; On Acid features remixes by Tin Man and Scuba.
