TLM076: Canson - Don't Stop
With Qzen and Murr remixes
Swiss artist Canson has earned a reputation for direct yet intricate live sets that ride the line between delicate craftsmanship and delirious abandon. Following recent releases on Cityfox and Katermukke, Canson arrives on Thoughtless with Don't Stop, a hypnotic yet sultry jaunt through minimalist deep house terrain. Playful organs form the basis of an effervescent atmosphere interlaced with disjointed vocals and nostalgic keys that conjure a wistful sense of immediacy on the lead track. Meanwhile, Berlin's Qzen strips things down with her Halt remix, adding her own vocal intonations and reducing the rhythm to bare essentials while somehow increasing the intensity; Toronto's Murr follows recent outings for New Kanada with a sprawling remix that merges raw instincts with cinematic scope. Rounding out the release, Grapefruit rides an insistent low end embroiled with shadowy synths, while Bleeding Stars takes cues from reverberant dub atmospheres without falling prey to sleepier tendencies, resulting in an expansive take on modern deep house. Expert sound design doesn't always equate to compelling aura, but on his Thoughtless debut, Canson displays his mastery of dance floor dynamic and studio technique in equal measure – to which we say: don't stop...
