VERA Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Side a is all for Vera, 9 minutes of deep groove, her debut on wax. 'In the Nook' builds an atmosphere of delight that
gradually mutates into a dark deconstructed techno journey, a glorious after hours killer: elegant, sophisticated and precise.
Side b, 'Hohoes', is for Mara Trax (check too their release in Oslo), a house affair filled with details and passion, all about the groove, and a real insinuation of dirty rhythms and endless dance.

Review: Established last year, Lisbon label Assemble Music has been making ripples in minimal circles with their output from Dorian Paic, Daze Maxim and St. Joseph. This fourth release should engender something akin to a wave of appreciation as Ricardo Villalobos continues his fruitful collaborative streak with the two track Veric 12" in conjunction with Vera Heindel. The pair are known to frequently share the decks at her home town club in Frankfurt and the chemistry between them translates to the studio, with both "Rambutan" and "Take Me" masterful examples of extended, hypnosis inducing minimalist productions.
