Opening with grace and gleaming material, « Illusion Day » is an ode to glittering future. The subtle tinkling synth loop, grainy guitar-like riff set the scene, a landscape of on old Eastwood’s western giving a first glimpse at Alpine DJ’s vintage aesthetics.
« Illusion Day » is a warm and friendly welcome into the whole EP, with this sweet dim-light infused vocal drawn from the post-disco hit of British trio Imagination, suavity of a refined echo and an end-of-day promise upon the ochre desert.  
Rooted in old school house and trivial synths, the first build-up heralds the groundwork of the whole EP : a singular mix of catchy sonorities, a skillful blend of instruments showing the producer’s ability to craft both fresh, contemporary and nineties inspired tracks.

Stepping into Jakku like a spaceship breaking through the universe, this unearthly second track dives deep into the Outer Rim. Between enveloping episodes, and passing though dark holes, inconsistent rhythm add up a specific landform : a muffled interstellar sub-bass, barely audible pads disseminated in the immensity of the void, sharp and penetrative synths.

Typically delivering unflagging epic synths, « Circles » lies in the loop and the winery process of a delectable ambrosia, drunk with warped synths leads and shaken-like rattling percussions. Frenetically banging, the enthralling build-up make it a dance floor killer and perfect closing material.

Kicking back and forth with foggy pads and mechanical distorted vocal loops, again with epic synths, « Fort Drum » has an east-asian infused bird-like alarm that inspire reverie of conquest. Resonant techno going far from four to the floor rhythms to meet broken tempos with the accumulation of uplifting percussions.
