GALCHER LUSTWERK 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: These days Galcher Lustwerk is well-known for his unique blends of deep house, techno and immersive electronica, but back in 2013, when he recorded the '100% Galcher' mix for Blowing Up The Workshop, he'd yet to release any music. It was therefore a bold decision to create the mix purely from his own stems and unreleased tracks. Nine years on, Ghostly International has decided to turn that mix into an "album proper', presenting the tracks - sequenced, but unmixed - on CD for the very first time. It's a fabulously deep, melodious and immersive collection all told, packed to the rafters with dreamy, effects-laden synth sounds, minimal house and deep house beats, leisurely beatdown grooves, nods to future R&B and tactile, mood-enhancing melodic motifs.

Review: Galcher Lustwerk is one of those artists who has a completely diehard fan base. And for good reason, he is an idiosyncratic producer who collides myriad different sounds. Rap, funk, blues, beatboxing, techno, electro and bass are all fair game to him. His fist ever mixtape was a stream of sonic consciousness that has never before been released on vinyl. But now Ghostly International step up and press it to two 12"s, with both black and coloured green versions as well as a CD version available. It was a fine announcement of his arrival back then and still stands apart today.

Review: There's little revolutionary about Galcher Lustwerk's third album in as many years, but it could well be his best collection of work to date. Riffing on the deep, off kilter and pleasingly woozy trademark sound he's developed since making his vinyl debut in 2013, "Information" is the kind of set that sounds equally as good at home or on the bus as it does surging from oversized club soundsystems in a converted Brooklyn loft. It's full to bursting with evocative early morning deep house, of course, but it never slips into "overly polite" territory due to the New York producer's love of dusty, crunchy drum machine hits, and bass guitar parts so warm and toasty you could probably use them to toast waffles.
