As techno and house music enjoy somewhat of a renaissance, the door has reopened for the likes of DJ/production stalwart Levon Vincent. With a reputation for quality and authenticity and a learned approach to dance music’s past, it’s of no surprise to see him hone his techno craft with laser-like precision on fifth studio album, Work In Progress.
Forgoing the story arcs that featured on last year’s architectural-sounding Silent Cities, the Berlin-based producer’s latest LP is a compilation of club-ready techno jams designed for any DJ to pick up and play. As referred to in the title, self-improvement is a philosophy that Vincent holds dear. Rather than complicate, Work In Progress delivers old-school techno that’s piercing, gritty and straight to the point.
