Banoffee Pies Records 18th release in the Original Series continues with another speaker hugger via a 4 track EP from HearThuG. The Tunisia based artist, digger, and “Are You Alien” label/party founder joins the Banoffee fray with “Planet Rhythm X". The Producer / DJ who honed a craft in sample twisted acid and breaks, drops their first solo release since 2018. A friendly face pushing the the local scene with an impressive output of heavily chaptered synth jams. The lead track “Earthling” sets a welcome signal with a low key wiggle, chopped drums and pinching acid lines ahead of the title tune “Planet Rhythm X” on the A2, which shifts to a 4x4 launch pad and countdown. “The Land Of The Never Ending Jazz” opens the B side with a superb 9 minute exploration of playful melodies and jazz keys, with a classy twirl. The EP closes out with an ear worm and soft breaks in the form of “Love Lesson", featuring the smooth vocal works of local artist Fig Republic on the B2. Much love BPR x[info sheet from distr.]
