Info:

Bartellow Has Long Been Associated With The Esp Institute Though Tambien, A Trio Formed Alongside Bavarian Cohorts Marvin And Valentino, Who Have Released Seminal Dancefloor Material Over Recent Years. With His Debut Album Panokorama, We Are Invited Into A Completely Different World Of Bartellow S Creation A Place Where Influences Become A Melting Pot Of Mood, Nuance And Texture, And Where Instrumentation Is Abstracted From A Variety Of Cultures, Including Those That Exist Solely Within His Imagination. Bartellow Has Found A Way To Merge Primitivism With Retrofuturism, Identifying Their Point Of Intersection And Reveling In Their Union Across Ten Songs. While His Academic Background As A Jazz Musician Certainly Informs Both His Progressive Approach To Composition And Non-linear Production, It Is His Obsession With Electronics And Synthesis That Shape His Current Musical Climate. The Title Panokorama Stems From Bartellows Visualization Of The Album, A Surreal Landscape With A Foreign Presence Centrally Embedded, A Panorama Punctuated By A Ko, Although A Hybrid Word That Reads As Nonsense, It Somehow Feels And Sounds Just Right.
