DESOLAT 005R-EP
|
Two tracks from tINI's debut album Tessa (DESOLAT 005CD) get a remix treatment by Carl Craig and Pulshar. Carl Craig, a creative visionary, electronic music icon from Detroit, founder of the seminal Planet E label, exposes the essence of "My Shine" and turns it to a serious peak-time track. Pulshar, Desolat's musical heavyweights and travelers between spacious songcraft and the futuristic outer-reaches of dub techno, appear here with their remake of "Mine Has A Shower," a pure Balearic bliss.

DISS 008EP
|
"Shmooh's Raisin Theory," tINI's debut for Dissonant, is a fresh, funk-driven number, and her youth as a drummer and the early influences of Moodymann can all be heard in the warm rhythms of the original. Label boss Marc Antona takes the original on a trip with his "Outback" mix, creating an ethereal atmosphere with his deep, pulsing drums and bringing the vocal to the fore. Re-UP keeps the funk and drive while adding an array of crisp, clean percussion.

DESOLAT 005CD
|
This is the debut full-length album from tINI, an integral member of the Desolat family since 2009. Her album is named Tessa, after a music-loving friend who supported her transformation as a producer and DJ. It's not only islands that need to be travelled to: developing a sound is a true journey, and one's changing environments naturally play a role in that evolution. tINI, formerly of Munich, now resides in Berlin. Her version of house music is still representative of her electrifying, wired-up DJ sets, but there's a new spaciousness and urban gleam to these moods, filtered through the more laid-back, surreal atmospheres of the island of Ibiza, where the majority of the album was produced. Tessa kicks off with "Divided" as a statement of intent: this is no formulaic house music, but rather something personal and idiosyncratic. A contemplative mood sets the scene for gentle, off-kilter palpitations. "Blonde Galipette" settles into the groove, with plenty of delay on rhythmic elements as a robotic interpretation of lonely shipyard sounds, and a growing tide of bass. "Mine Has A Shower" is a wink to the adopted spaces and unlikely comrades of an island dedicated to music; while "All The Good Stuff" is a tongue-in-cheek salute, referencing the tales told to new friends in the deepest hours of the morning. Tracks such as "My Shine," "Canta La Testoasa" and "Maria, Louise And Bert" bolster the album with relaxed dancefloor vibes, while "Triptease" veers slightly closer to a boompty house pattern. "tINI Meets Jack - Medusa" brings an uplifting snap, "Monkey's Cave" simmers and "Fail Better" unspools some compelling minimal house vibes. Lastly, on "Someone Loves You," tINI's debut Ibiza season wraps to a close in a contemplative mood.
