P. Kalkbrenner

Respect to Paul, for his absolutely new take on electronica. He has an extraordinary way to use his sound palette and he managed to turn used trance sounds into a whole new territory. Incredible, proper 21st century EDM. Also, musically genius, his melodies are top notch and the sound of his drums is so up to date. This person sounds like nobody else. Indeed the most inovative European artist of the last years.

In my honest opinion , this is one of the best electronic music composers of these days.His music is a mixture of beats and sound effects usual in elctronic music composing but without neglecting something many other wellknown artists do; Melody.

He knows how to create a song by combining beats, sounds and effects and ,at the same time, all these elements join together reaching a melody line , which results attractive to anyone with a minimun sense of music.
Kalkbrenner is a graet composer, even many of his songs could be transformed into innovative Classical Music Masterpieces.

His album "Superimpose" is the best example of all this.

9 out of 10.

Paul Kalkbrenner is, without doubt, the most innovative European electronic artist of the past five years. Even his releases pre-Bpitch Control are outstanding in terms of structure, constraint, and melody. As he mentioned in one interview, he likes the elements of 'early' trance (early Platipus, A13, Dragonfly, T.I.P., etc.) and he's not afraid to incorporate the amazing minor-key melodies characteristic of early trance into his records. This is unusual given the fact that a lot of people have written trance off almost completely.
The fact that Kalkbrenner can sustain two simple synth chords over an entire track, "Brennt" for example, and yet keep the tension and changes so that the track moves and grooves is extraordinary.
