A1. Downtown A2. The Shore B1. Lighthouse B2. Playground With the EP Mental Scapes, ALVA shows a first short format resolutely house. Every track is an evolution, a progress. Downtown - with its rhythmic part supported by the disco and deep atmospheres - is reminiscent of the influence of the 90s French house on the duo’s tracks. The Shore is a very deep production with a groovy and a minimal bass, with these incisive hi hats and rides, and this sensual vocal. Lighthouse uses several musical registers between techno, soul and NY house. The outro, Playground, recorded in one shot, is a short downtempo track to enclose in a groovy way this first EP from the Parisian duo.
