Review: Lapalux - Some Other Time
Essex based bedroom producer/DJ Lapalux (Stuart Howard) is one of the master craftsmen of modern electronica. Since the release of his first limited run cassette tape release Forest (2008), Lapalux has been painstakingly sculpting out a sonic answer to the cubist art of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Stacking idea upon idea, layer upon layer, through 2011's Many Faces Out Of Focus EP and the When You're Gone EP (released early this year), his fractured art music impulses deftly shifted into an avant-club music context. The result was essentially music for both the body and the mind, where cold futurist cybernetics inhale and exhale with a warm organic humanity, and a sense of depth and detail comparable to that seen when one places nature under a microscope.
