Review by pberdecio Jan 08, 2003
Brinkmann's music is deceptively simple, but stunningly innovative. He takes a basic foundation of minimal techno and raw, vintage track house, and adds elements of his elemental razor-scratched vinyl loops. These provide a subtly irregular element that can seem to drift from the beat, but don't-it's hard to explain....
This guy is definitely from the less-is-more school, and as someone who struggles with excess clutter when making tracks, I can certainly appreciate this. From moody minimal techno (best displayed on the "Row" comp.), to Soul Center's quirkily choppy deep house, to the vinyl scratch loop experiments compiled on "Klick", Brinkmann has carved out a personal niche that manages to resonate with various subsectors of the underground.
