After their Mental Scapes and French Kicks first EPs on Pont Neuf Records, french duo ALVA are back with a new 5-tracks maxi, Steam Lights, on their own imprint Virage Records. They carry on with in their deep/club vibe while bringing in some new and fresh sound designs. It oscillates between dreamy atmospheres (“All Very Slow”, “Steam Lights”) and hypnotical sequences (“Mirage”), but there is an obvious common factor to the tracks : the groove, carried by strong basslines and punchy drums.
