BPC 241EP
|
Thomas Muller's distinctive approach to programming beats and love for detail in sound design leaves an impression of constantly moving parts that remain in one place. The resulting tension instills Thomas' tracks with an irresistible and curiously mechanical energy. Having established and refined his musical trademark on previous EPs and remixes -- including those for his label-mates Telefon Tel Aviv and Cormac -- Thomas enters new territory with each track of his new EP Neurones.

BPC 224EP
|
Thomas Muller works with minimal musical elements from the house end of the spectrum. Each track on this 12" extends over an entire side of the record, which means they have the room to develop their complex percussive structures and microscopic changes to perfection. "Sunday Monday" does without melody and harmony almost entirely, while "Red Noir," with what you might call a classic bass line, has a more appeasing feel, although it also maintains an ample level of elated energy.

BPC 201EP
|
Thomas Muller presents his third solo release, Mindre. "Rebirth" hides house fragments in a tight beat, tribal-like percussion comes and goes in waves, and the whole thing spirals in dub echoes augmented by spooky foghorns. "String Slap" is dominated by a heavily-detailed beat and minimalistic sound effects. "Music 98" features a twitching shuffle-beat, vocal fragments and ear-decomposing sweeps. "Institute Of Shadows" comes straight out with point-blank, perfectly balanced beats, sensational hi-hats and an offbeat bass.

Thomas Muller presents the follow-up record to his successful debut Ride On with this release. Here comes a minimalist, high-end product. "Seduction" builds up slowly in a combination of hypnotic sound effects and a pumping bass line. "Crash" features a low-key kickdrum, playing with a deep sub-bass which creates a menacing atmosphere. Chopped-up vocal snippets and effects bring light into the darkness. Everything is supposed to change now.

BPC 168EP
|
A French transplant to Berlin, Thomas Muller presents Ride On, his impressions of Parisian nightlife and a voyage though Europe's metropolises. "Ride On" slowly forms a hypnotic atmosphere until a long, deep break brings us back to earth. "X Nights" invades the ears with an awesome and dark bass line with small details that create a new space within the track. "Puppet's Dream" is Thomas' homage to Berlin's Bar 25, bringing back the spirit of summer onto the turntable.
