Milestars

Demian, aka Damien Pontonnier, presents Milestars EP, a quirky and vibrant track trio with an obvious knack for catchy melodic details in a kinetic techno corsage. "Déclica" boots with deliciously stoic cowbell-isms that leave the doors of perception wide open for some iconoclastic, yet surprisingly effective synth action. The title cut invests in texture-rich atmosphere without forgetting about the precise amount of momentum you need to tip the floor over the edge. "No Hype For The Fish" takes things in a more hypnotic direction, intertwining free-form arpeggios and tape delay with smart beatsmanship.
