KHAOS001 → Mædon - Precursor

Announcing a label launch and a refined approach for both promoter and producer, Tresor resident @m_a_e_d_o_n sets off Khaos Paris’ new label and her first release outside her own Rant & Rave, Tresor, or Sonic Groove. Already an established name on the Parisian techno circuit with nearly two years of events featuring top names, Khaos Paris doubles down to launch their imprint with the Precursor EP, featuring five tracks of new work from an artist already familiar to their punters.

‘Clearing’ begins with a decidedly subtler sound for Maedon and a shift towards deeper techno, with lean, groove-centric production valuing gesture over drama. This restrained approach continues on ‘Pattern Recognition’, where a tightly wound drum pattern provides focus for an arrangement rich in classic details. She ratchets up the intensity in ‘Lotus’ as subtle ambient synth layers are pushed onward by busy toms and snarling bass, replaced in a middle section by simple hats & brighter tones, then combined in the final third. ‘Gusto’ is as gutsy as its title, another lesson in studied techno tropes well-applied that pummels to peak time intensity, especially in its grimy second half. ‘Evolver’ turns intricate after its long intro, the precise mixing of its many layers drawing out tension to a powerful closing.
