Vinyl LP pressing. Lone aka Matt Cutler presents his sixth album Levitate - which marks a point of departure from the inviting warmth of Reality Testing's blend of hip hop and house - the listener is taken on a rapid joy ride through breakbeats that at times will leave them gasping. Following the blockbuster success of previous album Reality Testing (and it's all conquering single "Airglow Fires"), Cutler was left at somewhat of a musical impasse - a six month dry period with no new inspiration that was showing no signs of abating.

"Levitate (LP)" is a meticulously crafted vinyl edition of Lone's acclaimed studio album, released by the independent label Rs. On this LP, Lone explores an evocative blend of atmospheric electronic music, breakbeats and dreamlike soundscapes, creating a listening experience that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. Warm synth lines, shimmering melodies and punchy yet detailed rhythms weave together into tracks that invite both close headphone listening and full-volume immersion on a sound system. The sequencing across the sides of the record is designed for a flowing, continuous journey, with each track naturally leading into the next, making the album ideal for uninterrupted listening sessions.
Musically, "Levitate (LP)" stands out through its balance of clarity and haziness: intricate drum programming and tight low-end work hand in hand with airy pads and richly textured ambience. The vinyl format highlights this contrast particularly well: the depth of the bass, the spacious reverb tails and the subtle sonic nuances gain additional presence and warmth. Fans of thoughtful electronic music--ranging from ambient and IDM to breakbeat and leftfield house--will find a record that rewards repeated plays and reveals more detail with each spin. The artwork and overall presentation complete the package, making this LP not only an audiophile choice but also a visually appealing collector's item.
