Review: Shapes Of The Roots is a two part project by D_Roots for Steffi & Dexter's ever reliable Klakson imprint. The second installment has five serious, energetic, sharp and melancholic electro tunes. From the evocative computer funk of "Alone In The Echoes", as well as the acid-laced Motor City-styled high tech soul of "Ashes", later moving into more bass-heavy science fiction on "LFOs Ride" to the futurist beat programme of closing cut "Uncaged". This is rock solid dance floor material from a super talented Italian producer.
Review: Despite having just a few Eps to his credit, D_Roots shows on Stream of Data that he is a serious talent. Treading a fine line between Detroit techno/electro and European electronic forms, his fluid approach yields the spaced out pads and robust drums of "These Thoughts". Meanwhile, on "Wide Open", he veers somewhat more towards the techno dance floor with a steely rhythm and a warbling bass, while "Error 777" is a continuation of this theme thanks to its shaking percussion and acidic undercurrents. Rounding off one of the most impressive debuts on Dolly in some years is the ominous, bass-led title track.
