Artist:	LUCI
Title:	Paléotronique
Label:	MUTEK (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.50
Catalog #:	MTK 003EP

2005 release. Montreal-based Luci serves up beats on the Paléotronique EP, like a ball on a squash court. Local fixtures Guillaume Coutu Dumont (Egg) and David Fafard (Nanalog) have managed to take the intensity of their game and fuse themselves into these three tracks. The results are blistering, mixing in barrel-thumping tech-house, ornate samples, and noirish sensibilities to come up with one neck-snapping floorburner. "Mullet Is In Da House" sounds like an over-excited robot learning to play a drum kit. "Dangeresque" trades eccentric energy for coy playfulness, and "Blastocyste" is dirty, unflinching, and ready to blow a hole in any mix ready to take it on. Luci is yet another example of why techno will always have a couch to sleep on in Montreal.

Title:	Rapatapaton EP
Label:	MUTEK (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.50
Catalog #:	MTK 006EP

The Montreal-based micro-house boys from Luci return with a slammer for the summer. The Rapatapaton EP is a gift to anyone who still enjoys the fine art of tongue twisting. Once you've repeated the title several times in quick succession, feel free to unwrap the record. Inside you will find three brand new tracks from Guillaume Coutu-Dumont (EGG) and David Fafard (Nanalog). A-side "Da O" deli-slices voice samples against a wobbly Timbaland backbone, and builds from there into a wall of meticulous micro-funk. "Weeners ISO 9001" grabs you by the shirt collar and pulls you to bed. It's difficult to resist this track, what with the very friendly lady cooing about weeners. The EP finishes off with "November Pain," the saddest track of the three. Seagulls squawk over a muffled house beat, as the duo Luci walk along the beach and contemplate where to go next.
