One might remember 2001’s as the peak for quality minimal music, one of the main actors for it was Playhouse/Ongaku/Klang under Roman Flügel’s guidance. A golden EP reminiscent of those days has been released on Klang by Radical Majik and boy is it good.

Luomo’s long awaited third album is finally upon us on his own label Huume. His “Vocalcity” album and the unforgettable hit “Tessio” had established his status as an innovator in the house field, while he has also worked under countless aliases like Sistol, Uusitalo, Vladislav Delay and one half of AGF/Delay producing dub oriented electronica and experimental music.

Mersenne, has told me that Sao Paris reminded him of Agf/Delay. That is true but without the cold European attitude. Not that i’m against Europeans, really, I am a big fan of Europeans but this takes “down” out of downtempo. Not unlike the Brasilian reference in the name, the soft flat tones are tinted with a certain warmth, which is what you get if you are a French electronic musician with a Brasilian vocalist.
