A warm welcome back to Rudy’s Midnight Machine, one of the solo side projects of Faze Action’s Robin Lee. The Crystal Dragonfly EP is the experienced producer’s first single for almost two years and is as positive and musically rich as you’d expect. Opener ‘Dyane’ does a brilliant job of joining the dots between slap-bass propelled, boogie-era disco revalism, sun-kissed Balearic grooves and chiming, melody-rich synth-pop – all with a subtle Brazilian twist – while ‘La Rochelle’ is a cheery and positive nu-disco bubbler. Lee expertly combines sparkling D-Train synths and hazy Balearic disco grooves on ‘Shy Smile’, continuing the leisurely poolside vibes via piano-sporting chugger ‘Pre De Minuit’ and beat-free ambient soundscape ‘Crystal Dragonfly’. Luscious!
