Alex Bau is back with a killer long player on Credo Records! Undomesticated synthesisers surf across swinging hi-hats and broken palpitations.

‘Escalation 385’ brings double-barrelled kick drums and clean 909 hats into efficient harmony with one another, while ‘Voise Pt. 1’ and ‘Voise Pt. 2’ blind their audience with a throbbing stylistic throwback in which closed hats halt the mix while a low-slung shuffle helps provide momentum.

Mu(sick). A suffix only suitable for the most raw, complex and enticing tracks. And a suffix certainly suitable here.

All those stories being told about techno albums all over the years just make me feel sick!

some tunes apart from focussing on the floor? Why do all those stories about albums sound all the same? Why did I always think that music should just happen? Maybe without a plan? Maybe even by accident?

Imagine music rising up just because of a feeling. Just because of a flow…listening to my management, telling me to do a new album which fits into the frameset of current mainstream tastes just makes me sick…the music indus-try and the lost momentum for the album-format makes me sick!

I ask myself what happened to the idea of spending time to listen to a row of tracks without being drawn away by status updates and all this social media shit stuff…talking about this, it makes me even more sick that music and art is measured by “likes”, “reposts” and “shares” more and more… I realize that quite a lot of things make me sick.

But there is one thing that does not make me feel sick at all…Musick!
