Christian Prommer – Drumlesson Zwei (Review)

Christian Prommer

Drumlesson Zwei

Released by !K7


Christian Prommer presents us his second chapter of Drumlesson and he still draws his influences from Detroit techno, but also moves toward classic European electronic music this time around. His organic cover versions are less heavy on straight jazz, and have more of a prog rock and fusion edge surrounded by avant-garde arrangements. He gets a little more psychedelic and adds some kraut rock flavor, inspired by the plentiful German acts from the '70s and '80s. The selections are broad, from Carl Craig to Laurent Garnier, Dennis Ferrer, Jerome Sydenham and Jean-Michel Jarre. He produced everything alongside Peter Kruder and a handful of studio musicians. He was also more directly involved in playing drums, piano and percussion. After the recording sessions, he worked on each track in his studio, switching roles from live player to electronic producer.

Nickodemus – Sun People Remixed (Review)

Nickodemus

Sun People Remixed

Released by ESL Music


February brings with it the gloom of winter. The holidays have come and gone, the snow is no longer entertaining or beautiful, an oversized rodent becomes a momentary oracle that will hopefully tell of an end to a season that has overstayed its brief welcome. A musical relief from the doldrums comes from Brooklyn DJ Nickodemus whose cover artwork alone looks as though it could combat a tough case of S.A.D. Nickodemus didn’t skimp when it came to remixing the songs from his second album, Sun People. By incorporating artists from around the globe Nickodemus has added legitimate world music names to an album with a world music vibe.
