“Laptik“, the first compilation on Digital Gadget/Front, features
various musical approches, constrasts and parallels, sending out
from a bunch of glowing Berlin harddrives.
Long awaited new stuff by mighty Helvetikone is featured here,
combining uncompromising beat programming with deliciously
subtle pads from the dark side, and another dubby piece of music by
„Don Knispel“ Bogger.
Several contributions by neighbouring artists make this vinyl round:
Menu:Exit, heads of glorious Berlin label Underscan, throw in a heavy
downbeat stomper,
while Jeff Pils stages some bass-driven patterns of chopped up
digital percussion ... not like City Centre Offices artist Miwon, who
mixes straight and steady drumpatterns with disarming melodies,
coming to a really heartwarming result.
