Miles Whittaker has been an integral part of the Modern Love label since its inception in 2002 - as one half of both Pendle Coven and Demdike Stare, as well as his own productions under the MLZ and Millie monikers. After almost 15 years writing music, this is the first release Miles is putting out under his own name and marks a turning point of sorts in his production style, or rather, in its sequencing. The Facets EP brings together different ends of his production style, unifying elements of the House and Techno he's most commonly released as MLZ together with the more broken production signatures usually reserved for Millie and the darkened tribalism of Demdike Stare. 'Flawed' opens the set with a Linn loop from the archives, stretched and slowed down with an intoxicated aesthetic that?s somewhere between House and Dub, before 'Lustre' re-configures source material originally keyed in by labelmate Andy Stott with a nice line in squashed percussion. 'Primer' on the flip extends from a Demdike Stare outtake and veers off into an analogue drum machine workout, before ?On The fly? ends the set with a recording made straight to mixing desk from an array of mis-wired and malfunctioning drum boxes, contact microphones and samplers, over at his studio The Mill earlier this year.
