On ‘Lanacut’, Hodge works with a space echo to dub a percussive groove, sitting on top of a weighty sub to create the headsiest moment on the album. Elsewhere, 'Sol' works with his partner Emilie’s voice to create a tense and lush soundscape, signifying some of his most mature and illuminating work to date.

Make no mistake, however, in anticipating that the album writing has in any way impacted his nous for a ruthless dance floor rhythm. ‘Lanes’ entrances dancers with rolling bliss, tightly wound around flawless drum programming and a span of esoteric sound, whereas ‘Cutie’ is Hodge reinterpreting the sheer impact of his earlier club singles with an ethereal and introspective edge. On the soaring, ‘Ghost of Akina’, he performs the inverse, unspooling frenetic breaks from a dreamlike stance.

Both personal and propulsive, ‘Shadows in Blue’ sees Hodge retain his instinctive grip on the dance floor while transitioning into bold new territories with true depth and invention.
