Although it wouldn’t
have been neccessary to prove that transatlantic irritations never really
existed, we now see the very first album of an American artist appearing
on the up and coming Mikrolux label.
And very much
like the previous releases, „Esemplastic“ shows an extra-ordinairy
musical strength, fitting perfectly into the steadily growing artist
catalogue of the label. Chris Roman, the man behind TwoFourteen, is
of Puerto Rican origin, has been living in Florida for most of his life
and with outstanding talent did manage to establish his very own style
in the eleven tracks of his first album.
Spheric and relaxing electro grooves („Above See Level“)
meet acid-housy movers („Distancia“), while sensitive android
hymns („Plugs“) and futuristic roboter songs („Idiomflux“)
mix up with funk-loaded rhythm excursions („Surfaced“).
And there are no better words for the associations set free by this
future electro than those described about producer and DJ Chris Roman's
musical style: „A lap dance in the side room of a space ship“.
Watch this man coming...
