Honigpumpe

2007 full-length release for Kompakt, and the follow-up to his acclaimed 2004 release, Lowflow. Fehlmann is one of Kompakt's most beloved members, and one of Electronic music's most humble and respected players. Take his early days as a member of the legendary avant-garde band Palais Schaumburg, through the late-'80s producing as Ready Made plus operating the revered imprint Teutonic Beats. And that doesn't even touch his extensive solo career! Honigpumpe is the ultimate expression of the emotional essence of his live sets speaking volumes from beginning to end. "Strahlensatz" starts well below the clouds with a poignant depth charge of emotive splendor. "Schaum" is a dub-inspired crooner, featuring a soothing bass drum that lifts effortlessly upward to the skies. "Little Big Horn" is fueled by a summery soulful injection of Detroit-ish house, while fans of his previous outings will be elated as his always-classy schaffel-techno comes full circle with "T.R.N.T.T.F." and the techno-canticle, "Dusted with Powder." Fehlmann brings US back to earth with a shimmering pop-ambient epic, "With Oil." a perfect conclusion to truly provide (in his own words) "an elastic spacious approach to let the honey flow."
