Kristofferson Kristofferson Germany 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Steffen Laschinski continues to draw on expansive themes of deepness under the Rising Sun name, once again gracing the Kristofferson imprint with a highly limited release. Pressed up in a quantity of only 100, the Remember Me EP continues the work Laschinski explored on last month's Nostalgia EP, commencing in superb fashion with the detailed orchestral touches of the title track. Complemented by intermittent vocal contributions and a thick set lolloping groove, the relentless yet wholly calm waves of strings can't help but captivate your senses. On the flip, the equally good "So Underground" ghosts into action dominated by the fragile titular vocal which echoes over a minimalist shuffle in a manner similar to the timeless Sven Weismann remix of Aaron Carl's "Wallshaker".

Review: Berlin's Steffen Laschinski aka Rising Sun is back on his own Kristofferson Kristofferson imprint, and the fiery deep house producer returns with two explorative cuts that will surely resonate with fans of Shed and his High Power sound. "Yours" is filled with slamming breaks from start to finish and, although this is categorised as house music, we prefer to think of it as effective breakbeat for the DJ wanting to deviate a little from the 4/4 norm. On the B-side, "Importance (Essay)" takes all our attention thanks to its bass-less percussive form; what we love about the tune is its freedom of movement and total neglect for anything tool-related. Recommended and tipped! Don't sleep and wake up to find this going for triple on Discogs in a year or so...
