Jonathan Kaspar has been making left of center dance music for some years, releasing on labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Objektivity, Pets Recordings or Kompakt’s KX. Here, the Cologne-based DJ and producer provides three tracks that serve as a reminder that dance music doesn’t have to be one dimensional. Opener ‘Mera’ starts out along a shuffling, groove-heavy path before various sound elements creep in, culminating with a hummed vocal full of mystery and magic. The track appears here in two versions, with the ‘Strip Down’ getting deeper into the drums for a full rhythm-frenzy workout. Both tracks are perfect sunrise music, as is ‘Weiss’. Although ostensibly having more of a straight up dancefloor approach, the track’s low slung groove slowly reveals itself over its nine minutes into a spaced out cosmic journey.[info from Label]
