Review: Everyone's favourite strawberry-flavoured techno creator, Erdbeerschnitzel returns to Delsin with a quad of cuts that billow with synthetic detail and imagery. "The Ample Waters" is an upbeat juggernaut powered by melodies and counter melodies that smoulders with UR heritage while "Never Tilt" provides sweet contrast thanks its slow-burning synth-heavy soul. Further on we hit "With Level Hopes", a subversive deep house cut that seeps jazz sentimentalities in such a way it could make Moody Man blush. Finally we're sent to the cosiest of pastures with the beautiful R&B homage "Yet Unfulfilled". Slinky, sleazy and laced with subtle vocoder elements, it's an emotional conclusion to a highly accomplished EP.
Review: Erdbeerschnitzel has long been a reliable source of the sort of fascinating, floor-friendly material that defies easy categorization. Here he's at it again, offering some distinctly positive, mixed-up goodness for Delsin. Opener "Cushion" is a veritable blast of humid summer air, lacing twittering synth flutes and darting, near tropical melodies over a bumpin', slightly crusty deep house groove. "Am Bossele" tweaks the formula, delivering starbust deepness, loose but rigid drums and woozy, cut-up vocal samples in spades. Closer "Crossroads", meanwhile, is the deepest of the bunch, offering the right balance between wide-eyed synth lushness and ocean-deep midtempo grooves. Impressive stuff, all told.
