LOUIS THE 4TH — Maybe Fake's What I Like 3x12"

Louis The 4th – Maybe Fake's What I Like The new 3x12-inch release from TH Tar Hallow arrives as catalogue TAR-LP7, a techno-focused set that continues the label’s recent output of expansive, concept-driven vinyl. Issued on 27 November 2026, the record presents a series of twelve tracks that weave abstract narrative cues with a persistent, driving pulse. Within TH Tar Hallow’s 2026 chronology, Maybe Fake's What I Like follows the Sub Basics & Thanos Hana collaboration on TAR050 and Krist’s TAR049, while preceding Benabou’s Inner Conflict [Solved] EP (TAR051). The label’s recent emphasis on multi-disc formats, exemplified by Dimi Angelis’ Journey to the Center of the Earth LPs (TAR-LP5 series) and Benales’ TAR-LP3, frames Louis The 4th’s contribution as another ambitious, three-disc statement. Side A opens with “The Weeping Willow” (A2), a track whose title suggests a lingering melancholy that dovetails into the record’s overall techno ambience. The second side begins with “Part Of A Catalog” (B1), a title that hints at a meta-commentary on the medium itself, followed by “Escape From A Trap” (B2), which pushes the momentum forward, creating a subtle shift in tension that prepares the listener for the deeper cuts on side C. “We Missed The Red Box” (C1) and “The Silent Orchestra” (C2) together form a pair of introspective moments, the former evoking a sense of loss while the latter offers a quieter, almost cinematic pause. “Trust That Old Plant” (C3) continues the contemplative thread before the record lifts into “Indigo Faded Flowers” (D1), a title that conjures a faded, nocturnal hue, and “Multicycle Program” (D2), which suggests a looping structure that reinforces the record’s hypnotic drive. Side E presents “Pattern Abuse” (E1), a title that implies a deliberate subversion of repetitive techno tropes, leading into “Elastica” (E2), a track that feels like a flexible, bending response to the preceding pattern. The final side closes the journey with “Enough Of Yourself” (F1), a self-reflective statement that grounds the set, and “Nod To The Locals” (F2), a brief acknowledgment that rounds off the record with a gesture toward the community that inspires the music. Louis The 4th’s recent output includes the For Those Who Still Believe EP on Kazerne (KAZERNE030) and Ego In The District on Bunkers Collective (BC004), both issued earlier in 2026. Those releases showcased a penchant for atmospheric techno that balances melodic undercurrents with club-ready propulsion, a sensibility that is further refined on Maybe Fake's What I Like. Within the label’s catalogue, the record stands as a continuation of TH Tar Hallow’s commitment to expansive, narrative-driven techno projects, offering a fresh perspective that aligns with the label’s recent multi-disc explorations. For DJs, the twelve tracks provide a range of entry points: the early cuts work well as opening statements, the mid-record pieces lend themselves to deeper, more introspective moments, and the closing tracks can be employed to wind down a set or to re-ignite energy with their subtle shifts. The three-disc format allows for flexible programming, whether spinning a single side for a focused set or layering multiple sides for a longer, evolving journey. The release is pressed as a 3x12-inch vinyl set, matching the label’s recent preference for larger formats that accommodate extended compositions and allow for optimal groove spacing. The physical presentation reinforces the record’s conceptual weight, offering collectors a substantial addition to any techno-oriented library.
