TILLIANDER Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Stockholm label Kvalia has been shaping out a sound which tips towards heads-down, dub-minded techno from artists like DJ Nobu, Psyk and Mary Yuzovskaya. Now they're strengthening their vision with a masterclass from one of the best in the game, Andreas Tilliander. As the chap responsible for those incredible acid dub techno workouts as TM-404, Tilliander sounds utterly comfortable and compelling in equal measure on 'Oroia' and 'Veia'. The sound is dense and warm, full of subtle details but understated like the best deep techno should be. Luigi Tozzi and Svreca pop up on the B side for remixes which hold true to the overall meditative vibe of the record, making this a must for all heads-down, eyes-closed DJs.
