YOUR PLANET IS NEXT - A New Smile (Sealed) (LP)

Studio Barnhus regular Your Planet Is Next makes his album debut on Mixed Up with his most personal and varied outing yet. Keeping his hazy acid house swing as main palette, here YPIN expand its vision adding elements of pastoral ambient and downtempo over his well-honed mixture of 303 basslines and skeletal rhythms. Somewhere between the early LFO and Sweet Exorcist bleep era ('Molten Smile', 'Powernap'), with extra dose of No Wave ('Huggteknik') and stoned ambient ('Trainspotting'). Best viewed as a full LP listen, but every tune is a winner. Little YPIN on cover too. Smile.
