Pantha Du Prince released an album last summer that I didn’t hear until recently. Which in and of itself means that I’m usually totally out of the loop when it comes to great new electronic music. It’s not that I don’t like electronic music (because I do). I simply can’t keep up with it and (thus) don’t devote tons of time to seeking out the latest and greatest. I’m of the opinion that eventually the wheat will separate from the chaff, and so it has.

Henrik Weber is the man behind Pantha Du Prince and his latest album is appropriately called This Bliss. It is a masterful album full of the sort of heady minimal techno that I really enjoy and is something I might recommended for those of you who might only casually like electronic music. Like The Field and Gui Boratto, Weber’s beats are engaging but his melodies carry the load. In layman’s terms; you can nod your head along to it.

This Bliss is an exercise in subtlety that seems coy but somehow playful and engaging.
