LOWTEC Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Nobody quite does understated and minimal electronic music quite like Jes Kuhn. The veteran German producer returns to his beloved Workshop label for his seventh full-length release titled Old Economy, said to be tribute to the end of the economy as we know it. Across 15 tracks, Kuhn presents an extensive collection of moods and grooves, taking in everything from oddball house and more experimental, cinematic sounds - all in the Thuringia-based artist's inimitable style. Highly recommended.

Review: For their next outing, Workshop has served up some DJ friendly, re-mastered and extended versions of 'Scribbled,' which is a cult deep house delight that first came more than 20 years ago back on Out To Lunch. It has everything a timeless deep hose track should - lo-fi and blissed out drums, melancholic ambient pads, a cute little vocal hook and delicate spieling of percussion to keep things from getting too horizontal. All three versions are superb.
