Description
With a title such as Simply Positive, you'd expect this EP from Stephan 'STL' Laubner - the follow-up to his typically dubby and spaced-out At Disconnected Moments LP - to be cheerier than average.Certainly, by the techno stalwart's usual standards, it is. Both tracks operate in the deep house sphere, with opener "Heaven's Vape" (we chuckled, at least) peppering a rubbery, low-end groove with tuneful synthesizers and glistening electronics. There's a similar love-of-life demonstrated on flipside "Joy Operator", with winding synth motifs, lazy synth-strings and tumbling electronics draped over a notably bullish, forthright groove. Both tracks are typical of Smallville's output, but rather less obtuse than Laubner's usual fare.
