Release Notes :
Being Germany's Gateway to the World, the port city Hamburg always had a special
affinity to America. So, it's not surprising that Peter M. Kersten aka Lawrence
has a deep musical and spiritual relation to the Detroit Techno aesthetics for
more than ten years now. His label Dial Rec, which he runs together with Carsten
Jost, stands more than almost any other European address for the value-conscious
cultivation of high-quality melancholy Techno. After seven albums under his
producer aliases Lawrence and Sten, Kersten now continues the perfection of his
sound vision also as a DJ in a congenial way.
"Timeless" is far away from the dictate of the dogmatic obligation to
currentness that DJs have to face nowadays, but celebrates electronic dance
music as a timeless sensual component. With instinctive certainty, Kersten
covers 16 years of living club history without ever losing the sight of the
acoustic 'here and now', or even becoming the slightest bit anachronistically
nostalgic. Instead, under his sensitive hands, milestones of minimalized Deep
House like "Forever Monna" by Chez Damier, Ron Trent and Stacey Pullen (1995) or
the 1999 club hit "Overcome" by Thomas Melchior/Baby Ford come together with
contemporary and intensive hommages to Detroit Techno like Smallpeople & Rau's
"Life Aquatic", Delano Smith's "My Life" or Pigon's fantastic Dub Tech romance
"Beatmatching" from the 10-Years-Anniversary compilation of Dial Rec in a
wonderful way.
Besides that, the mix features such well-known names like Aril Brikha, IsolΘe,
the Ifach Collective and Robert Hood, before Roman Flⁿgel sets a wistful final
chord with "Brian Le Bon", a track based on Duran Duran's masterpiece "Save A
Prayer", and Plaid finishes the mix with the crystalline "OI" from their classic
album "Not For Threes" (Warp). Lawrence's mix literally breathes the serenity of
a light-flooded Sunday morning somewhere between a modernist city and a wood
glade, and thus gives his global artistic approach a suitable dimension.
Available as Mix CD / Digital on Cocoon Recordings in August 2011
