There is an emotional tension to right on time, the new project from the Parisian electronic music producer lux18. The music often feels like it’s moving to a point of release, and it sometimes does get there, but more often than not it dances around the kind of payoff moments that are the hallmark of more populist strands of electronic dance music. Which is what makes this record in conversation with the past decade-plus of leftfield electronic music, genres whose names you probably know: deconstructed club and hyper-pop. The project forces the listener to wade in an in-between space, the space where life diverges from the club. There’s rarely any payoff in your day-to-day. There is no smoke; there are no lasers. You just keep churning and hope for the best.
