Andy Vaz’s latest EP “Moon Talk Protection EP” on the Paris-based Telegraph imprint, obviously shows Andy’s appreciation for House music with a strong personal handwriting The A side’s “Moon Talk Alert (Dangerous Mix)” finds Vaz in slinky house mode. Layers build rapidly as the groove settles into a handclap-driven swing flecked with hard-wired acid flavour and squiggly synth flourishes, and the eight-minute running time offers ample opportunity for the tune’s high-velocity attack to get deep and hypnotic. Vaz sweetens the even slinkier “Deep Protection Against Moon Talk Attacks” by adding bongos, shakers, and spindly jazz guitar riffing to its synth-drenched stomp while the steaming pulse in the jubilant closer “Returning Constant Babbling Back to Them (Destroy Mix)” exposes house’s disco roots within a Techno manner. The new material’s encompassing stylistic scope—elements of house, techno, acid, and jazz constantly intermingle in the three tracks—reveals that Vaz’s ongoing exploration of house music’s possibilities continues to reap fresh rewards. As the EP title has gone through a last minute change, some online store’s may have the record still listed as “Absence of the Summer EP”, instead of its new title: Moon talk protection.
