Lewis Fautzi - Insanity Department (2019)

Opening with the subterranean 'Insane', the album is a distinct blend of atmospheric textures and bold melodies forming seven refined tracks not geared for peaktime techno sets. Tracks like 'Conspiracy' feature a stuttering beat and echoing notes whilst the intricate pitter-patter qualities of 'Physicians' generate a mesmerising aesthetic from start to finish.

Downtempo cuts like 'Determination Of Insanity' steadily march forward whilst cavernous synths pulsate throughout, leading into the ominous 'Wounds Of Deadly Hate' with its twisted drums and soaring synths. Nearing the end, 'The Science Behind' is driven by murky pads and piercing chords until 'Obscenity' concludes the album with syncopated kicks and uplifting arrangements.
