With Madbot EP, Bordeaux-based electronic producer Costello sharpens his signature blend of emotional depth and club precision, delivering a release that feels both cerebral and instinctive.
Automat
Opening track “Automat” dives into melodic techno territory, driven by widescreen, cinematic synthwork that unfolds with a patient, hypnotic progression. It’s sleek yet evocative, tailor-made for late-night transitions.
Mezze
“Mezze” switches gears with a fluid triplet groove and uplifting synths that bring warmth and elevation, offering a luminous contrast to the EP’s darker edges.
Madbot
The title track, “Madbot”, hits with a rugged breakbeat pulse, its chant-like vocals echoing through layers of metallic percussion and shadowy atmospherics — a hybrid cut that blurs the line between introspection and raw kinetic force.
Closing the release, rising French electronic producer Belaria pushes “Madbot” into faster, rave-leaning territory, amplifying its tension with a sharper club focus — a high-voltage rework that retains Costello’s emotional charge while cranking up the floor energy.
Released on Lumière Noire, Madbot EP fits squarely within the label’s boundary-pushing aesthetic. It’s a statement piece from a producer steadily carving his lane in the contemporary underground.
