Steffi (8) ‎– Yours & Mine

Although I am an old school lover who can't find many new good releases out there today, again and again I have to stop myself to have a listen to new stuff. And that this is a good thing to be open for unknown artists and art this cd is an argument for. This woman makes great music - the sound remember Techno-Trance of a high quality we could find in the early 90s back in the days but with influences of the present sound. Its a fitting mixture of Techno, Trance, Techno-House and House - and it don't get boring. If I would compare it with well known artists I have strangewise suddenly the idea of Resistance D in my mind, maybe in collaboration with Carl Craig or s.t. like that. It could be quite possible that if Steffie Doms had written this tracks in the beginning of the 90s and she would have sent a demo to R & S, Renaat could have given her a chance... ...ok - its just venture... anyway: track 1, 2 and 4 are my favorites. Track 2 was played by a dj in a local Berlin tv show where newcomer and other djs could be watched while spinning the wheels and that prick my ears suddenly: hey, whats this? Deep going music on a higher level...
All other tracks are good too, no real filler. Berlin Power.

Worth owning for "Manic Moods" alone, beautifully deep techno-house journey with acidy licks halfway between Chicago and Detroit with mood, melancholy and a tight drive.
The sort of stuff that Laurent Garnier or DJ Deep would play, also fitting in a more freaky context when you don't count the hours anymore to inject some romance.
