Matt Thibideau aka Altitude releases his latest original EP on Lisbon s Helena records, cementing his return to the international scene. Anyone who has seen his all-analog live set will be on solid ground here among four extended deep-space soundscapes, which continue the legacy of his legendary Blue Recordings output. Transforming is the slow, cavernous floorfiller with a growling bass of truly physical intensity, while Fractional s delayed chords and soft, skipping hi hats form the housiest moment of the record. Touch Sensor and Tantalum on the flip nod to the legacy of Mark & Moritz (still strong to this day): the former could be a long-lost Main Street dub, while the latter would not be out of place as a new entry in the M-series.
