Rachanee

The long-awaited return of a Kompakt pioneer is upon us: Reinhard Voigt finally presents new solo material with Rachanee. The title-track features an inspired use of it's hypnotic voice sample - a lesson in catchy minimalism, it's this undulating snippet that draws the listener in, followed by a stoic but surprisingly funky bass line whose sex appeal clearly lies in it's simplicity. Flipside banger "Tisch Fur Zwei" displays a dizzying fondness for vintage synth-grinding. The swerving bleeps keep the beats guessing, thus ensuring the right amount of insanity in a track that exclusively follows it's own rules.
