Fresh Air For Fresh People
Peter Grummich [Karloff]
11 December, 2007 | 3.46PM- Section: Music Reviews
It’s hard to imagine why German DJ/producer Peter Grummich isn’t more popular: he makes a distinctive, occasionally noisy take on stripped back techno, he’s based in Berlin, the nerve centre of this music and his last release even made a concession of sorts to the deep house influence that’s making all of the minimalists hot and bothered at the moment.
Maybe it’s because he doesn’t have a silly haircut or hang out with all the right people.
Anyway, until fame comes knocking, Grummich seems content to knock out great records like ‘Fresh Air’.
As usual, the beats on the title track are rough and grimy and the spiky rhythms crackle with an intensity that Grummich just about manages to contain.
In this context, barbed wire percussion and rave whistles (remember them?) flit and skip across a lunging bass.
The end result is heavy but clubby, the thinking man’s antidote to tracks that rely too heavily on FX.
‘Breezin’ is built on a similarly powerful low end; this time the mood is more menacing, yet the tantalising, hissing hi-hats will leave you gasping for more.
