Review: Lorenz Brunner recently debuted his new immersive live AV show at Berlin's CTM Festival. "Daemmerlicht" (fading light) is his fifth album and developed specifically for the cavernous space of Berghain's Saule. On the album however are Brunner's interpretations of ambient, electronica, classical music and hip hop oriented soundscapes. Here he implements a different musical approach to the usual techno and house infused material that he's most usually known for. There's a cinematic score approach to the dozen or so tracks featured on the album, where lush and complex string arrangements face off with sublime melodic sequences and skillful beat programming - taking the listener on a journey of Bavaria's Black Forest after midnight.
Review: The boss is back! The legendary UK pioneer and Bedrock head honcho gives us a live set from Canada's second city, complete with crowd noise. Digweed's knack for sniffing out the most cutting edge progressive and tech house grooves is second to none and you can bet that this set is chock block full of narrative, innovative grooves: one journey you'll never forget! Featuring contributions from Germany's Recondite ("Tame"/"Baro"), Glasgow's Sei A ("You Can Bring"), Berlin's Smash TV ("Cascadia"/"God Key") and Los Angeles' Eagles & Butterflies amongst a host of other big names. Also comes as six continuous mixes for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!
Review: Having previously impressed with the robust On Acid on Absurd/Acid Test, and more thoughtful Hinterland on Ghostly International, Recondite transfers to Innervisions for this third full-length excursion. The German producer seems to be in a particularly introspective mood on Iffy, delivering tracks that variously explore deep, spacious techno (see "Baro"), evocative deep house and bittersweet electronica. For all the sparse rhythms and clandestine atmospherics, there's plenty of picturesque moments, from the unfurling beauty of "Konter" and glacial downtempo shuffle of "Steady", to the tear-jerking shimmer of "Jim Jams" and gorgeous "Levo". As a result, it's probably his strongest set to date.
