Astonishingly, almost 14 years have passed since "hard, grooving" techno and house fusionist Olivier Ducreux released his debut album as Shonky, Time Zero. On The Run, then, is well overdue. Those accustomed to his particular brand of tech-house funk will feel right at home, while those still unfamiliar with his trademark sound - all bold bass, bustling beats, far-sighted electronics, cut-up samples and intoxicated intent - will no doubt be impressed by the eight tracks on offer. Our picks of a very strong bunch include the slipped tech-house psychedelia of 'Prime Time', the bubbly and intergalactic warmth of 'Danse Macabre', the ghostly chords and hard-wired TB-303 motifs of 'Trompe Loeil' and the dubby, locked-in hypnotism of pleasingly wonky closing cut 'Kombattant'.
