EXU debuts with „Day 97`’, a track produced by label founder Andy Sexton during a period of prolific output. Broken beats and rhythmic chords are contrasted against a backdrop of soulful pads and delicate interjections of piano, reminiscent of the sounds of artists like Floating Points or Isolee. Without compromise, this is a record that manages to find the balance between unfolding musical drama and the rhythmic repetition necessary to hold a dance floor.
