Martinesque is back on home turf! Following up from last year's effort, „Profound" doubles down on the psychedelic qualities. Geared towards the early hours, he's served up three cuts of intimate ritual music. Take the title track: during its 8 minute runtime, we're led down the rabbit hole of progressive house music. It's a modern take on the format, full of disorientating spatial modulation, brooding texture, and the emotional depth we've come to expect from the artist. The B-side further illuminates this path. „Watercourse" introduces a playful twitch to the palette, full of life-affirming echoes and melodies. Rounding things off is the deepest track of the lot: „Blackbird" features effective call-and-response vocals, continuously intertwining with its gently tripping bassline. A meticulously assembled package, this record sees Martinesque deliver his most playful outing yet.
