Stereo Systems vinyl

It's here! Levon Vincent graces us with his first 12" of 2012 just as the year approaches closure. Announced in customary fashion with little prior fanfare, the centre piece of this seventh Novel Sound release is undoubtedly "Stereo Systems", an early stripped back highlight of the Berlin based producer and DJ's mix for Fabric earlier this year. Lifted out of context of his Jedi style mixing there, the track sounds all the more remarkable in isolation, a deathly kick drum offering sole forward momentum before an ever daunting array of beautiful crystalline synths rain down in a manner you feel could slip into infinity. Complementing this are two face down unreleased DJ tools, rubbing the rough and rugged percussive stomper "Together Forever" against the playful loop driven house of "Specks Jam".
