The news that Detroit producer Terrence Dixon is retiring from music-making came as a shock to his fans, but as this release shows, his influence remains. Knotweed has in the past released original material from Dixon, and Petit’s “Stars” certainly takes its cue from his work. It’s based on similarly agile, lithe rhythms and pointillist tones and to Petit’s credit, he makes these abstract elements danceable. However, it’s hard to emulate Dixon and his version is an expansive, brooding affair, textured pads tethered with subtle percussive ticks. Returning to earth, Petit delivers “Variation” and “Prapators”, two smartly executed, tough grooves, full of subtle filters and sassy bleeps.
