Paris-based producer Vincent Fenton trained as a movie sound engineer, which might explain the evocative layering and detail of his genre-splicing jams. Chopped, accelerated vocal samples build mesmerising hip-hop patterns on “Go Back Home” and “Lying Together”, while the jazz/R&B of “Skyline” transports you into the sunshine with warm, rippling synths and beats that purr in the background like tropical wildlife. Meanwhile, “Why Are There Boundaries” is a moment of aching soul amid all the intricate electronica.
