Madloch’s Sound Avenue imprint welcomes Jean Caillou back to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Zurich, the Swiss artist has established himself in the world of organic house with releases on Magician On Duty, RYNTH, Sag and Tre and Underyourskin Records. Having made his Sound Avenue debut in 2019 with a remix of Joe Miller’s ‘The Last Of The Great Days’, Jean further established a bond with the label in 2020, reworking Bigasti & Balad’s ‘The Days’. Now returning to Sound Avenue for his first original project, Jean presents his ‘Departure Unknown’ EP, alongside a remix from Daniel Van Der Zwaag. Spread across four tracks, Jean Caillou’s ‘Deeparture Unknown’ is an eclectic blend of electronica, organic and melodic house. Emotionally compelling throughout, the journey begins with the dulcet beats and dusty percussion of 'There'.

A three-minute centrepiece sits at the core of the composition, free flowing through a maze of hazy refrains, before opening up into a radiant glow as the beats drop for a groovy final movement.  The glacial flow continues with the amorous sounds of the title selection 'Deeparture Unknown’'. Possessing an alluring undercurrent, it’s punchy kicks and wavy synth phrasing creates a warm energetic glow.  Emotive chord changes add further to that narrative as sheets of percussion and indistinct vocal fragments push forward to a vibrant apex. The mezmerizing 'Palau' further cements Jean's elusive vision, as a rippling rhythmic core gets complimented with mallet-like motifs and shuddering bass tones. Sympathetic in mood, it’s slow burning drawl might be its strongest suit, tactfully building to a charismatic crescendo as gleaming electronics accent the road home.  Diversifying the release further, it is Caillou's masterstroke to round the collection out with the impassioned, slo-mo grooves of 'Weather Lights'.
