Lackluster, what can one say? This entity (human) embodies the very essence of what contemporary electronic music is all about. This human has been producing music of the highest quality imaginable for a decade (that’s more than 10 years mind you) and possibly even longer, it is impressing to say the least and even more… Continue reading Lackluster, Aeration EP [TwoCircles Records – [ [2circlesNet002], 2009]

After the release of Pq debut album ‘You’ll Never Find Us Here’ and following a period of quietness. This surprising second album appears on Expanding Records in 2010.

Neuron, Planet Fendor, [Imaginary Nonexistent Records – SMON004CDR, 2010]
No question about it, this is an excellent piece of music! Deep, bassfilled crystalline soundscapes, beautiful in a mesmerising and melancholic way. I feel compelled to say something more about the bass, it’s excellent handled and nothing less than hypnotising. Depending on your set-up you might go for the headphones (if your neighbours are away… Continue reading Neuron, Planet Fendor, [Imaginary Nonexistent Records – SMON004CDR, 2010]
