Physical Education are back to present Occibel’s latest EP, Better Days. The four track release to transport you into Occibel’s timeless universe, with the treasure of an additional remix by Fantastic Man.

Opener Nothing So Blue sets the ball rolling with its hybrid of deep chords and glitchy synths spurring up the energy for the rest to come. Fantastic Man’s contribution of a fast paced remix leads the already bubbly track into even more of a capsule of energy. The B side keeps up the dynamism, as Passion from the Past’s grooves and etherial manifestations bounce you deeper into Occibel’s groovy house universe.

Take This concludes the consistently infectious EP, steering further towards a world of pulsing rhythms and synths. Unbound by space nor time, Better Days redoubles Occibel’s contribution to the renewal of the French scene.

Occibel always releasing godly tracks ! So much pleasure !

Classic 9o9 dusty beat, woody rim, snappy snare. Lineal, gluttonous, notching proton arpeggios. Rezo addendum, tagada potelo. Various aural phenomena, festina, frenzied. Carpet moon pads, chords of angelic beauty. Organic addendum. Concoction is very fine. Now, utterances. Paguro reale. Flushing sojourn. Sturdy, as needed. Melomaniac paradise. In fact, lots of evenementials going on, and all _so_ right. Nostalgic feeling, too. Creative. Fluozone pertone. Salted caramel.

Another very fine offering from the stable, consisting of delicious, spirited, yet also very weighty and convincing phenomena. Special note to the heavenly pads, and the lush, rich, soundscaping atmosphere.

Wonderful piece in which you can perceive a solid base of the famous Technotronic of the early 90s.

Sounds like I’ve whipped out my Megadrive to play Streets of Rage
