these days house music is often about a 4/4 beat and a catchy groove. the idea is to do something simple to which you can get your groove and, and not so much about listening. the borders of electronic dance music makes room for the hypnotic beats, the driving grooves, but not always the melodic universes. leman & dieckmann have been making music for several years, both together and apart, but almost all of their music was driven mainly by the beat. but both having an urge to discover the dynamics of melodic synths and melodic percussion they decided to make an album. they agreed that the album had to tell a story, and like so many times before in music the topic became love. the story they try to tell through the music on the album *takes two* is the story of a breakup, the denial of the need of love, and the discover of the fact that often in life it takes two, to be happy.

simone gatto, with his second release on out-er holzwege ep, confirms his artistic maturity and his serene approach to music and life, even if on ones way the paths can get broken. due to a perfect use and combination of prophet 12, arturia minibrute, virus and x-base drum machine, the sounds transmit deep and pondering thoughts the artist has experienced, peaceful in some cases, troubling in others. each track represents a motion against the difficulties of life: happy and discouraging moments happen and alternate, our actions cause consequences, and everything have to be faced somehow. the synths are melodious, timid and gloomy at the same time, indicating that happenings arrive, interchange and pass over. the patterns are detroit inspired and the beats always soft and gentle, never impetuous, while ambient and pads go with the groovy wave created by kicks, hi hats and basses. a journey that has to be lived, any development it brings.
