Luke Abbott's mesmerising elasticated primordial beats are a refreshing organic antidote, and the soundtrack of dancefloors future. The domineering unrelenting dependability of 'Whitebox Stereo' is entrancing in the truest sense of the word with its mathematically morphing musical progressions, but there is plenty more to shout about in the four flipside gems culled from Luke's sprawling unreleased back catalogue. The moody, melancholy 'Pavilion' erupts into a wash of progressively more joyful arpeggios, whilst the booming straight 8ths of 'Little Wonderment' are truly confident and assured, giving way after the break to a rumble that (like all the best things in life) is equal parts joyful and violent. 'Musicbox Two' drops things down a notch with a carefully crafted twinkling cascade of Luke's beloved bell sounds, before the laidback meandering click track of 'Quincunx' brings proceedings to a satisfyingly warm and fuzzy close.
