L.F.T. - WOOD002

  • Share
  • Resident DJ/producer L.F.T. fronts the second release from Hamburg party-turned-label Woodwork. At its best, the four-track WOOD002 is upfront and engaging. "Janus Head," for instance, establishes a hypnotic mood with tight kick-clap combos and a breezy melody that swerves calmly around jittery bass notes. "Tayto" follows this up nicely, coasting on a shimmer of keys punctuated by light percussion and dreamy French utterances. "Escorial Dreams" balances a bubbling acid line with hollowed-out percussion and warm chords, though the original mix is a bit timid. For his remix, Benedikt Frey injects some energy into the track, but it ultimately overshoots the mark, feeling out of step with the rest of the EP. Woodwork still haven't quite found their footing, but the foundation WOOD002 helps establish is solid.
