into the rhythm. On tracks like Deck The House, Wet Floors, and In Dog We Trust he presents a nervous whirlwind of samples in danger of sweeping you off your feet to magically bring everything into focus with a tight-fitting beat. With his characteristic method, Akufen also produces an inspired reinterpretation of the Chain Reaction sound (Installation), the classic Detroit sound (Skidoos) and a spacious opener (Even White Horizons) whose main influence seems to be My Bloody Valentine's melting dream vocals. Infinitely inventive and expansive, My Way presents one of the absolute highlights of the year no matter what genre, a delightful collection of cerebral dance tracks that overflow with a joy for life. An Olympian achievement, certainly, although its influence should probably be more in the area of inspiration than straight emulation. The sound of the now.
