Review: Offenbach institution tech house Connaisseur now celebrates ten years in business; gosh how time flies! They are celebrating in style on this mini-compilation; part one in a series. Olderic & Peter Pardeike kick things off with the slinky, deep and downright dreamy "Connaisseur" and what a tribute this is! Next up Lenar & Musumeci continue on with the sleek and melodic grooves best served at the early evening on "Azymuth" and then Silky Raven & Solaris 100's "Stars" takes it on home in glorious fashion; this mesmerising slow burner builds continually creating such wonderful suspense.
Review: Since 2007 Marcus Worgull has been a devout member of the Innervisions family, as well as moonlighting in Kompakt act Vermont alongside Danilo Plessow. Peter Pardeike meanwhile is a Cologne-based artist who has only come to light through his collaborations with Worgull. Following their Lenoix EP back in 2013, the pair are back in action with this two-tracker that continues the fertile thread of warm, melodic tech house that Innervisions has built its name on. "Trivia" has a slender, tender feel to it while "Oona" comes across more brazen with its swinging rhythm and strafing arps, but both will work the floor in the earlier hours of the party just right.
Review: Marcus Worgull definitely believes in quality over quantity. Lenoix is only his sixth EP in the past twelve years, but like his previous records, it sounds like a lot of time, thought and effort has gone into it. Working with Pardeike, the title track is all sumptuous wintry melodies and a stripped back, frosty rhythm that leads into a series of tranced out breakdowns. "Blythe" is more ominous; lonely bleeps and subtle claps guide the listener along a groove forged by metallic drums, but here too Worgull and Pardeike finally succumb to melodic temptations and the arrangement breaks to the sound of epic hooks.
