Info:

Roman Producer (and A Force Behind Minimalrome Label) Valerio Lombardozzi Known As Heinrich Dressel Returns To Barba With A Second Release For Our Label, Titled -the Styx Swamp-. Heinrich Has A Unique Way Of Combining Classic Techno And Electro Sounds With Elements From The Beloved Drexcyan Universe And John Carpenter Leitmotifs, And Making Them Come Together In A Manner That Both Moves Your Body And Pushes Your Mind Beyond The Point Of Awareness. As With The Previous Record, -lurking Underwater-, Here He Pulls Off The Move With The Same Efficiency And Without Sounding Like He S Repeating Himself. -gray Slope-, -sailing The Nether Waterways- And -the Styx Swamp- Are All Quite Moody And Deep, Rich With Sound And Thick With Vibe. However, The Tracks Feel Equally At Home In 4 Am Techno Situation And A Heady Afterhours Affair. He Truly Is A Master Of Crafting Hybrids Whose Influences Get So Flawlessly Embedded That It S Hard To Point Them Out. If That S Not Enough, -the Styx Swamp- Got A Treatment By Nigel Rogers Aka Perseus Traxx, A Multi-faceted Producer And A Mighty Live Act Performer. Nigel Stayed Respectful To The Original But Made The Original S Bouncy Groove Into Something More Direct And Reduced, While Retaining The Same Feel Conditioned By Lead Synth S Hypnotic Quality. We Re Known To Give A Little Bit Of Extra Love To Our Releases So (as All Before) This One S Pressed Onto A Heavy Duty 180 Gram Vinyl And Beautifully Packaged In An Original Artwork By Emaemaema.
