"Heiko Bruchhaus, the 26 year old student of German, is already Heimelektro Ulm's 3rd artist living in Stuttgart. The variety of music happening in Stuttgart's living rooms is really astonishing, considering the electronic house and hip hop monoculture and the absence of any underground in its nightlife. But maybe this is the reason why the music on Dopamin's first release is misplaced alongside modern electro or commercial dance stuff. Heiko tells us that his roots are in classical music (as you can hear in his samples), sophisticated pop music (like Eno, Bowie, Talking Heads), and mid-90s trip hop; but that does not solve the miracle of various old fashioned tracks. The entire album was produced on a very basic Ensoniq EPS (no additional equipment), certainly not a machine that is politically correct with today's electronic artists. The very basic sound work shows through everything, but the strengths of the album are a direct result of these limited opportunities. While many of the actual 'modern' hi-tech electro productions don't show musical inspiration despite their extensive sound work and very complicated beats, Heiko eschews technical gimmicks and concentrates on the song concept. Producing with such basic equipment is certainly much closer to the underground roots of techno than today's electronica mainstream."

Title:	Vanille
Label:	HEIMELEKTRO ULM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	HEIM 22

2nd release in Heimelektro's Duftplatten subseries. "Duftplatten means smelling records, and in fact they do! The name of each release and the smell put on the label are the same. That means: this record smells like vanilla ... But, what do we have to expect from a Heimelektro Ulm 'dance'-label? Nobody would expect slamming 4-2-floor here. The question for us was: what could mean dance music for people that have musical interests like we do? On the one hand: why not slamming 4-2-floor? we don't want to start releasing ideological music, there already is existing enough of it! on the other hand: has dance music to be functional? why shouldn't it be possible to make dance music people could listen to at home, too?" Features: Scarcubem ("no one can face this deep endless housey electronica-grooves..."), T-H-D (totally harmonic distortion), and Rober Van Lunteren ("deep melody and super laid back house grooves").

"Roger Van Lunteren first perceived the world's light and music in 1971 in The Hague, Netherlands. Shortly after his birth his parents moved to the vicinity of Cologne, Germany. 'There was always a lot of music there and nothing happened without music.' When the first Acid House sounds arrived on the 'continent', Roger realised that he had something to contribute too, and his mission was clear. He started to spin his 'top 50 records' in his bedroom and listened, mixed and scratched. It was inevitable that he got to know the sounds in those black record grooves very well, which proves to be the ideal prerequisite for experimenting with music. Roger loves the music of the 80's and loved it long before the 80's retro hype invaded the world, because music of this period is wonderful, his first kiss too -? the rest? Let's not talk about it. With this love and this mission in his suitcase, He began DJing at raves and started collecting the necessary tools. His camp was furnished with musical equipment and nighttime trips into the universe of analog synthesizers followed. Little sleep and turning the right knobs do the job and then you need friends who have friends in Ulm at Heimelektro Ulm; and you can make a record. Well, it's not that easy -- but it's a stopover on Roger's journey -- just listen."
