If you're going to launch a label, debuting with something suitably impactful is arguably the best way to go. It would be fair to say that the freshly minted Confucious imprint has done just that. Their debut 12" is a rare collaborative outing from minimal/tech-house scene stalwart Arapu, who for this 12" has hooked up with lesser-known producer Sandro Kuhne, someone who has been active at the fringes of the scene since the early 2010s. Our pick of the bunch is A-side "Pe Final", a deep minimal workout that layers fluttering electronic motifs, dreamy chords and glitchy computer sounds atop a typically tactile tech-house groove. Elsewhere, "Ephermeal" expertly joins the dots between locked-in Romanian tech-house rhythms and spacey deep house musicality, while "Sonourous" is a fine combination of glitchy grooves and picturesque, glassy-eyed musical flourishes.
