Title:	Trickmixer's Revenge
Label:	PLAYHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	PLAY 020CD

This is the debut full-length album by Cologne-based Max Mohr. Before moving to Cologne in 1994, Max spent six months in New York, where he studied the entire city while being deeply immersed in a sphere consisting of artists and musicians. This gritty punkness has pervaded his output, even since 2000, when Mohr released his first 12" on Playhouse. The Trickmixer EP has already placed him in the international spotlight, and has been played by BBC Radio and DJs spanning all genres, such as Michael Reinboth, Gilles Peterson and Laurent Garnier. Trickmixer's Revenge starts off with "Diamanten," which sounds like the lively, organic dance of a foreign tribe. "Spellbound" is a beautiful, haunting melody with a suspenseful lift-off that heads straight into volplane. "Mellowmoon 2" emphasizes nice warm chords for the club or the kitchen, while "Lucky Go Wild" sounds like the title track to an '80s science fiction television series, mixed with a bit of Mohr's pop appeal. "Schaben" is a rocket-propelled dub monster for every DJ. This is the track to play in the club to cause mayhem on the dancefloor. From his years in a punk band, to creating giant, padded art installations, to his first tracks using an Amiga 1000, Max Mohr's debut is the culmination of years of experimentation in different mediums and different genres, all executed brilliantly.

Title:	Trickmixer EP
Label:	PLAYHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PLAY 101EP

"Using unwavering basslines and snares covered with a smoke screen Max Mohr is on his flight through space watching far away places like the 'Northern Star'... which seems to be a shiny little trippy sparkling star -- at least that's how it sounds. Back in time with 'Old Song' which could really be an old song -- straight out of the glory UK days way back in '91/'92 with that bassline and those distorted piano-chords it sounds a bit like Saint Etienne's 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart'... smiley J."
