Perfect Encounter

Amsterdam label Spectral Bounce recruits French club stalwart Chris Carrier for SPEC06 — Perfect Encounter. Active since 1994, the Parisian artist has released a wellspring of records on Robsoul, Slapfunk and his own Sound Carrier recordings, parallel to his longtime DJ career. The EP shows Carrier exploring mesmeric tech house corners, ideally fitting the Spectral Bounce aesthetic. XLR8 opens with rolling toms leading to modulated tones. Light Side offers billowing echoes and a spacious groove. Third Moon explores trance-inducing realms, with refrains rising and evaporating like vapor. Perfect Encounter closes with mysterious, rapid rhythms and alien-like synth signals for enraptured dancefloors.
