Review:
Hamburg label Diynamic lauched back in 2007 with a string of symphonic, melodic house releases, and this release by Henning Besser aka DJ Phono sounds like a logical progression for the label. Eschewing for the most part the dance floor, Besser lays down some of the richest, melodic electronic music of 2011. "Spur" is a simple but beautiful piano soundtrack, "Quiz" revolves around lullaby melodies and abstract beats and the strings on "Le Rencontre" are as fragile and beautiful as dewdrops on a grass blade. When it veers into the club domain, as Besser does on on the funk bassline-driven "Knarhcsslheuk" or the 90s trance sounding "Soll Ich Ein Loch Graben", he manages to retain the evocative sensibilities that make the rest of "Welcome" so special.
