Sales Note
After Psychiatre's previous electro-focused Lost Palms release proved his artistic malleability, his latest sees him return to his signature sound. NMAV EP radiates warmth; music that sits back into itself, and invites its listener to do just the same.

It begins with three deep house soothers, the first taking disco as its springboard, and the rest stripping it right back to a minimal, soul-caressing effect.

On the B-side the sun doesn't stop shining, except this time Psychiatre injects a healthy dose of acid and the groove of a breakbeat. But far from the rave connotations of each style, Psychiatre teases out the most gentle facets of each, bringing the EP to a suitably laid-back close. More

Release Note:
DJ Psychiatre explores a different avenue of his sound. Whilst the enigmatic French producer's penchant for storytelling remains very much intact, he swaps out his usual house-centric sound for a focus on electro. Delivered via acidic synths, infectious melodies and metallic textures, Lucidity EP captures electro's most playful side and proves Psychiatre's stylistic ambidexterity. More

After the hugely successful Never Complain EP on Lost Palms, it's no surprise to see purveyor of French groove DJ Psychiatre back for another disc on Shall Not Fade, adding his name to the Seasons Series collection. Expect exquisitely produced house for both day and night, with a splash of rave-influenced heat.

Different Philosophies EP hits like classic house music but breaks rigid conceptions of genre. The title track is a punchy percussive number texturised with hand drum samples that pair imperceptibly with a deep electro melody. "Just Here To Get Ya" opens out with swirling pads but hits hard with a sidewinding bassline in another icy space age cut. Closing out the A-Side, the jazzier "Fantasies" serves up grooving melody and popping ear candy to tease the ear, holding you in a hypnotic haze.

Onto the B-side and a beat you can feel in your chest lets you know "Summer Hit Ready" means business. The tense stabs and half-hidden vocals before the drop give high drama, making way for classic house piano. If the record started with day party energy, this one is straight from the darkness of the rave. More chilled out B2 "Drifting" creeps up subtly to a pulsing 303 roller that builds momentum for the record closer; all raw breakbeats and atmospheric vocal clips, "Time To Go Home" opens into a thoughtful, bass-driven centrepiece that calmly winds down the EP.

Not to be missed, the digital bonus track "It's All Magic" is a jazzy groover with added acid. Look out for a deep dark drop that gives way to the club-ready kick, before fading into lingering meditative chords. More
