More proto-Goa trance invocations from Alexis Le Tan & Joakim’s prized Parisian project Full Circle. After leaving loosey goosey dancers hanging for a few years, Full Circle pick up exactly where the »Further Knowhere« mixtape left us – in a utopian third-place slipstream.

»Beyond Knowhere« pursues a particular late-’80s / early-’90s dragon, and in return answers a certain dancefloor need for music that propels both body and spirit with an effortless sensuality that’s lesser heard in clubs nowadays.

Perhaps most notably, they emphasise the influence of Chris & Cosey over that era in lead ace »Odd Perceptions«, in the lushest whorl of dubbed-out 909, sitar, and overtone singing for eight minutes practically guaranteed to trigger sweat and palpitations. If you’re not feeling the frisson by the time of its bassline coda seven minutes deep, you may need to see a doctor.

Chakras aligned, they continue to elevate the senses with the pendulous acid stepper »Painting Noise«, reframing a vocal sample – “take this brother, may it serve you well”, as also found on Major Problems’ »Overdose« – in a tripper early-trance-steppers style riding gunky acid bass and head-smashing FX, before taking it down a gear to the Konders-esque digi-dub chug of »Sharp Water«, again rubbing Nu Groove influence with a damn-effective, psychedelic steez.
