It's been seven years now since Matthias Tanzmann teamed up with Daniel Scholz
under the Gamat 3000 umbrella and released the "All Seasons" album on Dessous
Recordings. Back then this relaxed deephouse understatement was the flavor of
the month. Now Matthias Tanzmann presents the grown up, world-travelled solo
debut album "Restless". Not just the album title, but also track names like Keep
On, Flight Mode or Redirected reflect a packed international DJ booking schedule
over the last few years. Since 2007 he has been resident at Circoloco at DC10
(Ibiza) and part of their world tour. Rounded off with residencies at Distillery
(Leipzig), Monza (Frankfurt), Flokati (Munich) and Le Club (Valencia), it is
fair to say that Matthias Tanzmann has never played as many international gigs
as in the last year. Musically he has developed significantly over these seven
years. Fully committed to deephouse in the beginning, his tracks and sets have
become more functional over time. His release "Bulldozer" (MHR022) is a prime
example of a captivating bridge built between house and techno, without getting
lost in anything considered half-baked Minimal. "Restless" opens a new door for
Matthias Tanzmann's music, and new influences are abound in many of the album
tracks. With a distinctive love of percussion as a key new element, he often
uses percussive sounds as the hook line of his tracks. Check Rugby, Keep On or
Crazy Circus for example. The focus of these tracks, more than ever before in
Tanzmann's productions, is mainly on rhythm and groove. The collected experience
of a seasoned world-class DJ is perfectly reflected. All titles of "Restless"
have their own place in the time span of an imaginary club night, from a relaxed
start-up mood, to prime time action, to hypnotic fade-outs in the early morning.
The previously released teaser "Rugby" (MHR033) features a special edit of the
track and a Mathias Kaden remix û both extremely well received. The original of
Rugby, available on the album, is currently being thrashed by the likes of Josh
Wink, Karotte, Raresh and 2000 And One. Last but not least, Poker Flat's Steve
Bug selected Keep On for his current Fabric mix CD.
