Autem Gifts us with A Stunning Raw House Groove

The Vancouver producer's latest offering is dusty, percussive, and oh, so smooth.

After his 2013 debut of the anthemic single "Out", released on ASL Singles Club, Autem's output has remained minimal, offering a freebie here and there. Straying away from buzz-chasing or trend-hopping has allowed the young producer to develop a sound in isolation. A minimal, swung-out blend of contorted rhythms and synthesis is the stunning result.

This holiday season, Autem has blessed us with a dusty, percussive jam made in part with Andy Soloman. Detroit house and techno signifiers come out in the dissonant, synth sweeps and modular melody, but the over all groove and bass hook are of his own brand. 2015 will see a slew of yet-to-be-announced releases from Autem, but his close association to Modern Math and ASL Singles Club hint at where his works will end up.
