Whitebox Stereo

Golden boy du jour Luke Abbott showcases his impressively mathematical yet ultimately hedonistic musical credentials with the elasticated primordial beats of his new Whitebox Stereo collection: a refreshing organic antidote that we believe is the sound of dancefloors future. Domineering, unrelenting and an undeniable big tune, ‘Whitebox Stereo’ is entrancing in the truest sense of the word with its mathematically morphing musical progressions, whilst the moody, melancholy ‘Pavilion’ erupts into a wash of progressively more joyful arpeggios. The booming straight 8ths of ‘Little Wonderment’ on the flip are truly confident and assured, giving way after the break to a rumble that is equal parts joyful and violent, with time for a quick outing for Luke’s beloved twinkles on ‘Musicbox Two’ before the laidback meandering click track of ‘Quincunx’ brings proceedings to a satisfyingly warm and fuzzy close.
