about

"Transcendental Love" is the fifth EP in two years by Hackney-based producer Fabien Guiot, who is assembling a catalogue of hypnotic, understated tracks that are subtly colorful in their production. The music on "Transcendental Love" illustrates a rising energy born out of dark confines, reflecting our patient return to clubs and nightlife all over the world, and furthermore proving London's fertile ground for the LoFi house scene. Its sounds are both industrial and delicate, aiming to return to the roots of house music in tastefully low fidelity.

Side A features two anthemic tracks in classic breakbeat and four-on-the-floor structures, guaranteed to raise heat on the dance floor and start nights on the good foot. “Freedom” is a declaration of prevailing over the past two years of shutdowns and arrives at a crucial point where festivals and clubs are going through a day-to-day gauntlet leading up to the hour of their events. The title track “Transcendental Love” reminisces on pre-pandemic bliss, evoking classic 90’s house with its soaring hook and syncopated bass line, conducting a deep and infectious rhythm from start to finish.

The music on Side B is more introspective but equally important to understanding the EP’s message. “This Time It Feels Right” deconstructs the basics of acid house to reach contemplative heights, creating a melody and breaking it down to emulate itself. The EP’s energy shifts in “Daydreaming” where an ominous hook, bouncing pads and conga-lined drum kit are playfully arranged to build the song’s driving force. The concluding track “Verge” is made of rapid breaks and angelic synths, signaling a departure from these trying times and welcoming a more heavenly reality.

"Altogether, this record is a search for utopia in a world that is increasingly approaching the threshold for sustainability, asking the audience to adopt “transcendental love” as a new ideology of interacting with each other; on and off the dance floor." - DJ Hoshino
