Banlieue Records starts the year 2017 with the release of Blasphema Eternal, the imprint’s sixth record, which will in fact be the only VA release of the year as the label will focus on artist EPs. It features five very different cuts that somehow fit perfectly together under Banlieue’s common thread: a timeless feel, tracks that are full of detail but often understated, a breath of fresh air ready to lift up bodies and minds on the dance floor and anywhere else. First comes a club-ready dubbed out track by duo Nummer, then a rather ambient tune reminiscent of IDM’s finest moments by Michigan’s own D’Marc Cantu. On the flipside, a machine funk track of an electro persuasion by label boss Benoit B, followed by uptempo dance floor abstraction by Mir and some lo-fi jackbeat deepness courtesy of Wulffius featuring lyrics in French by Jack Tezam.
