"Fine arranged melodies from multiple sound sources", as stated in his
biography, are the building blocks of which Daniel Mehlhart considers to be the
essence of good music. Putting what he preaches into practice has affirmed the
22-year-old Swiss born, Frankfurt am Main resident, as one of the most exciting
new talents in the underground Tech-House movement. His most acclaimed release
was the harp-tinged Origami, released last summer on Kindisch, which catapulted
him into the record bags and charts of a slew of seasoned DJ's during the end of
last summer. "Scharade" is an example of young Daniel sticking to what he does
best; mixing and blending techno. Atmospheres and sonic images while still
animating an organic and natural vibe over the tracks. Liberal amounts of
percussion and a Middle Eastern or Asian vocal dramatically pitched this tune
beyond recognition watermark with a style and a vibe that he has helped to
advance. The house roots of "Distracted Conscience" are present right from the
onset. Using a double pump kick to inject a pinch more of energy into the
already flourishing habitat of off-kilter and spooky sound effects. So many in
fact it is easy to see how he came up with the name, "Distracted Conscience", as
there are more effects floating around in this track than thoughts in the head
of an 8-year-old who forgot his daily dose of Ritalin. He turns to an ethnic
vocal on "Alura" again, but keeping the overall mood of this outing a bit
deeper. He pulls out even more percussion instruments including extra shakers,
toms and bongos all marching along harmoniously. This is a head down, hands-up,
side-to-side bopper that just keeps quietly elevating as subtle elements are
added and subtracted throughout the duration of the tune. A coherent composition
and DJ tool all in one. Although this is his second release there are no signs
of a sophomore slump anywhere in site; as Daniel Mehlhart's talent lies in his
unique, but subtle ability to gel different elements. Enjoy!
