Release Notes :
Steffen Berkhahn has gained quite a reputation on the
international DJing circuit over the past few years
for his smooth mix of melodious house, which has been
bolstered by both his Body Language Vol 4 mix for Get
Physical and his RA podcast. Both of these compilations
were produced in a more traditional style with vinyl
and CD, but for his latest collection, entitled
Temporary Secretary, he's gone for a totally different
methodology.
As ardent Innervisions fans will know, Berkhahn has been
touring as part of the A Critical Mass laptop supergroup
with Ame and Henrik Schwarz, and he'll be utilising many
of the skills learned during this process on the mix. By
slicing and looping certain elements of the tracks, he
has attempted to create something more than your usual
compilation, aiming to produce a body of work that would
be impossible to recreate in the club with the normal
tracks. Due to him having a close relationship with some
of the artists that feature on the CD, he's even been
able to access parts of tracks that would only usually
be given to official remixers, aiding his quest to
create something special.
Those expecting an out-and-out dance floor selection may
be disappointed, as the compilation sits directly in
between club and home compatibility. Starting out with
the lush Balearicism of Icasol's "Ongou," Temporary
Secretary quickly dives into darker, chugging territory
before revealing a housey groove that dabbles between
techy, organic and tribal vibes. The focus here is on
material that is fairly recent, with cuts from Fever
Ray, Peter Kruder and Ben Klock sitting alongside
exclusive ┬me and The Machine tracks.
