RVN 009EP
|
Riotvan premier of Thomalla (The/Das, Krakatau, Running Back, Permanent Vacation), the first non-local artist to release on the Leipzig-based label. The zeitgeist seismographs at the Boiler Room describe his sound as "weirdo house for the freaks." Opener "Pataphysics" is a good example -- an oscillating floor meditation with a flush of percussion details. "Hamam Hotness" is less spacy and equipped with soothing basses. "Hermitage" starts with detailed percussion elements and a fluid sound design, only to stretch into paradisiac break-worlds. "Oh Sunday" escalates the game between melodic and rhythmic impetus before an intelligent house finale.

RB 049EP
|
Krakatau man, Bodi Bill collaborator, and all-around nice kid Thomalla with his debut on Running Back. Built for a universe in which James Holden is the caretaker, you get four slices of romantic Krautpop glitch-house that pleasantly diverges from the current state of dance affairs. Artwork by Stephane Leonard.

KKT 005EP
|
Alftavatn is Thomalla's second EP release on Berlin-based techno label Krakatau Records. The tracks captivate instantly and still surprise with imaginative variety, sudden shifts and dazzling timbre. His tracks unite artistic and dancefloor-compatible appeal, and the Alftavatn EP articulates his forward-looking interpretation of electronic music, embedded in references to his own eclectic education. Techno without thought-control.
