Having introduced us to their musical partnership in 2020, Tiga and Hudson Mohawke finally release the full fruits of their labour with debut album L’Ecstasy. Their previous collaboration on Tiga’s No Fantasy Required forecasted four years of recording sessions, seeing them shift interests from tech house eruptions to acidic breakbeat detours all painted with “bleary-eyed 6am catharsis”. On L’Ecstasy, these rides through the rave continuum manifest where tracks switch from cinematically glazed fog and raindrops on windows to ultra high definition rhythms and synths with a digital sheen.

Sub bass rumbles like the footsteps of a thousand clubbers on ‘Exit Warehouse At Dawn’, thumping along to clanging gamelan and chimes that wisp into the twilight. It’s not so much post-rave as it is afterparty; plenty of tracks here bristle with the duo’s conception of “hardcore romance”, like the minimal house beats of ‘Feel The Rush’ assisted by Channel Tres’s sensual presence, or the anthemic brass and steely electro rhythms of ‘Love Minus Zero’ tinted with heartfelt synths and euphorically poignant vocals.

The mist breaks instantly on ‘VSOD’ for brassy acid stabs and ABRA’s arresting vocals, leaving those gauzy purple skies for a slinkier club haze where tenderly stepping breakbeats bring the track to an emotional peak. While Tiga and HudMo experiment with emotionality, they make sure to weave in more cerebral manipulations too: ‘BUYBUYSELL’ twitches with squeaks and icy synths that fluctuate like the stock market, while ‘Natural Spirit’ leaves glitching shimmers and sparks in the wake of its propulsive depth charges.

L’Ecstasy is a refined and rigorous selection for Tiga and Hudson Mohawke’s debut collaborative full length, both softly whispered and hard hitting in all the right places.
