Max Cue releases Mindfulness

‘Mindfulness’, the new album from Max Cue, is well-named. Watchful and attentive are characteristics high on the agenda of Antwerp’s Andy Verschaeren, letting loose a set of deep house and techno whose perpetual breeze and clear-mindedness is sourced from uncluttered, neatly layered and direct production.

Five years on from the chunkier techno/tech house push of ‘Define Life’, and having collected recognition from Laurent Garnier, Hernan Cattaneo, Paul Oakenfold and Sasha, Cue’s one-time spinning of darker beats are re-circulated here, married to his long-time association with all things trance and techno. So for all the album’s widescreen lucidity, possessing an ease of acceleration that allows him to cruise with edge-smoothing energy, ‘Mindfulness’ also comes tinged with more pointed elements of distrust and sorrow.
