Der Noir :: Blue (Love Blast/Subsound)
Blue depicts that line between elation and melancholy, expanding the boundary dividing these emotions to produce a superb piece of electronics. I first came across […]
Modus :: Quattro & Piano Chain / The Garden Of Sinus (Wo-Land/Marmo)
In parts its bumpy, even jarring, at other moments it’s as smooth as silk. One thing you can be sure of, it’s always different and […]

Strong and strident beat patterns with subtle key changes and bold 303 strokes. Unsurprising, Lux Rec’s sub label set the bar pretty high with its […]
CCO :: Space Race (Endless Illusion)
Space Race adopts its retro-futuristic namesake. From the outset the heavens are the inspiration. Florin Buchel has been quiet of late. After his excellent ad-hoc […]
Thirteen, unlucky for some; not for Kernkrach.
I find it hard to come at Kernkrach from a critical angle. For thirteen years they have been pioneering synthesizer music. The German label has […]
