Back catalogue: Minimal/Tech House

Review: Yamen & EDA return after two years with a five-track offering that pushes minimalist house to its most refined form. The 'Giseigo EP' opens with 'Possibly Possible', a buoyant yet minimal track that relies on its sharp synth work and punchy rhythm to set a forward-driving tone. It's upbeat, understated, and perfectly designed to get the feet moving without needing too many layers. Then comes 'Technologie Tropicale', a funkier number, cleverly stitched together with playful sound clusters and effects that give it a quirky, infectious energy. It's a groove-heavy selection that feels tailor-made for those laid-back but still energetic sets, where simplicity wins over complexity. Flip to the B-side and 'Tournure 2000' delivers a soft, soothing melody. The beauty here is in its restraint, with just the right balance of elements to keep it light and breezy while still anchoring itself in the groove. This one's all about feel - simple yet captivating. 'Mickey Mousse' is the heavyweight of the release, with its chugging bassline and direct appeal to the dancefloor. It's a bass-driven force that stands firm without feeling overbearing. Wrapping it up is 'Clicker Of The Year', where funky basslines meet acid undertones, creating a track that plays with texture and depth without ever losing its cool. There's a laser focus on keeping things stripped-back, yet each track is detailed enough to hold its own. For anyone dialled into the nuances of minimal house, this EP has all the subtle power needed to carry a dancefloor without ever showing off.
