Jacques Bon & Drux - A Long Way [Smallville]

French DJ and producer Jacques Bon teams up with fellow Parisian underground DJ and producer Drux for their fifth EP. The subtle deep house LP incorporates elements of techno, especially in the subliminal bass lines on tracks like 'Celeste' and 'Mirage', drawn from the unique rave and party atmosphere for which both became famous. While the record has standout moments on 'Space Ways' and 'Sandstorm', 'A Long Way' offers a more relaxed rave experience, with the duo's artful use of percussions and tubular bells creating a tranquil yet sophisticated atmosphere throughout. This record is the perfect soundtrack for parties that stretch into the wee hours, and on into the next morning.
