Review: The king of moody dancefloor drama returns on Kompakt. Rune Reilly Kolsch is absolutely synonymous with the label's sound aesthetic by now and follows up last month's thriller "Shoulder Of Giants". This time around, he provides the subtle yet elevating trance arpeggios of "Time" which are supported by breathtaking female vocals and roaring string arrangements which are altogether sure to cause a stir on the dancefloor. This is followed by the more subdued and introspective arrangement of "Sleeper Must Awaken" featuring Kolsch's signature razor sharp synth leads against a backdrop of strong electro style beats - greyscale deep house at its finest.
Review: 2019 certainly was a big one for Rune Reilly Kolsch; a year which saw a brilliant collaboration with Sasha in the form of "The Lights" (on his IPSO imprint) as well as that well received installment of 'fabric presents' for the London clubbing institution. As we all know by now, he's no stranger to Cologne institution Kompakt, being a staple of the revered label for nigh on a decade - and here he kicks off 2020 with a big bang. Between the soundscape of metallic textures, an evocative string arrangement and that razor sharp bassline that's a constant throughout, "Shoulder Of Giants" sees the Danish producer present his unmistakable sound to the main room for some serious dancefloor drama. Second offering "Glypto" features theatrical vocals in contrast to modular style blips and bleeps, to create a seething minimal tech house arrangement that's equally sure to create some tension and suspense in the club.
Review: For revered Danish producer Rune Reilly, Kompakt has been the perfect home to curate his music. The Cologne institution has presented two critically acclaimed albums and a now classic run of solo installments in their Speicher series. He's taken his brand of techno craftsmanship; honed since the mid noughties under respected aliases such as Ink & Needle - on what the label best describe themselves as 'a melodic, emotive and even autobiographical course without losing any of its punch and quirkiness.' Taken from his new opus entitled 1989, Kolsch serves up the powerful new single "Liath". It's an evocative and life affirming track geared for some right dancefloor drama with its powerful, Derrick May style strings section and razor sharp arpeggiations ticking all the right boxes.
