IMYRMIND Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Max Graef, Glenn Astro and Delfonic's Money $ex Records has been providing consistenly high levels of FIRE ever since its inception back last year. The Berlin-based label is very much on course to become one of the new go-to labels for odd, rhythmic left field dance music, which is kind of the best way to describe the myriad of abstractions emanating from its catalogue on a monthly basis. IMYRMIND is back and this is his debut LP, stretching out further than ever before, and landing in some pretty dark corners in the process. Universum Luxus is a vast, diverse piece of work that manages to touch upon many different moods and styles, ranging from the utterly surreal to something altogether funky and jazzy. Think of it this way: if you're into boogie but need something a little bit more electronic, a touch more wayward, and considerably more screwed up then this is the gear for you. TIP!

Review: Germany's Imyrmind has been sparse but solid on the releasing front since his first outing on Odd Socks back in 2012, so we're pleased to see him land on Max Graef, Glenn Astro and Delfonic's Money $ex Records. There's a whopping seven cuts on here, starting with the gorgeously moody, slow and organic-sounding "Paper Cuts"; then there's a jazzy piano track "Deep House Track Des Jahres" featuring Graef himself, more deep house magic on the flip with "Rhino" and the more uplifting "Bright Moments", and the oddball cut of the lot "Plej For Errrbody". Classy!
