TRAPEZ 122EP
|
This is a 4-track EP from Roland M. Dill. Developing from within rather than being developed, the tracks seem to have a stronger hypnotic edge to them. "The Evil" is not very obvious but works very much by itself, whereas "The Good" is a perfect intermezzo for DJs who really build up their sets. "The Ugly" is a mental track -- madness on the highest level. "The Bad" is also written in this vein, with a remix by Ronan Portela.

TRAPEZ 113EP
|
Roland M. Dill is a techno architect and "Casino Capitalism" is a hell of a funk monster -- a cool, elegant odyssey changing angles of perspective and dynamics. "The Hierarchy Of Peeps And Booms" is a slacker of a track. The bass line is almost disco and sounds like mosquitoes on a mission to dart into your skin. The remix of "Hash Browns" by Patrick Lindsey is a body mover with down-pitched vocals -- deep techno of the most advanced kind.

TRAPEZ 108EP
|
Roland M. Dill's "Baked Potato" is an excursion into deep waters, dirt paths, rocky hill tops and descending slopes, bending and twisting the dynamic in different ways, making it a forceful techno epic. "Hash Browns" is a funky affair... it wiggles and squeaks and shifts from acoustic to synthetic to "live recorded" sounds and back. "Bubble And Squeak" is a bit of a bonus track and a DJ tool -- the groaning bass line plays a strong and efficient melody.

TRAPEZ 104EP
|
Roland M. Dill's Low Go is psychoacoustics for your ears and your soul. Roland likes Chicago music and the title track has a Chicago-esque feeling. Those who remember Green Velvet will get a hang of this powerhouse-techno production. Sian's remix builds up tension at an incredible speed, setting out to explode -- but Sian would not be Sian if he had not developed a "club-friendly torture." Secret Cinema's remix is a masterpiece, creating something rare with deep, emotional, hydraulic strength.

TRAPEZ 097EP
|
Roland M. Dill presents a more grinding, machine-driven piece of techno than on both of his previous EPs. Roland named his record Turboencabulator based on the idea of a futuristic machine that could reveal complexity through emotions. Roland has mixed both tracks with his new hardware set-up and shaped his sound design in a way that is less predictable. "Turboencabulator" was the initial piece of music that he used to reinterpret and create "Retroencabulator."

|
Cologne's Roland M. Dill presents his second 12" on Trapez. Share Your Body is a funky 2-tracker, containing rhythmic, post-Chicago elements and a mightily produced big clubber. "Share Your Body" is a crazy DJ track with a long beat introduction creating the possibility of mixing two tracks on top of each other. "I'll Be There" has a bigger bass line, juxtaposing a softer touch against the former's super hectic and funky programming.
