( AESTHETIC 001 ) Niko MAXEN / NICK BERINGER / STEVN AINT LEAVN / SY - AESTHETIC 001 - Aesthetic

Inaugurating new deep house imprint Aesthetic are a bunch of current heroes of Europe's deep house underground. The EP kicks off with ascendant Leeds based DJ Niko Maxen (Shadow Sanctuary/Fantastic Friends) who delivers the hypnotic boompty business of "Busheila", the always impressive Nick Beringer (Rubisco) delivering some sublime tech-house of the dubbier variety on "Unit Sphere" and fellow Berliner with the best alias ever Stevn.aint.leavn (Beste Modus) with the emotive swing-fuelled antics of "Pinter". On the flip, Sy gets back to the delay drenched Basic Channel/Deepchord influenced side of the things, on the rather entrancing "Cosmic Waves" which was our pick of the bunch - but be assured they're all fairly tight grooves on Aesthetic 001
