STAUB 082CD
|
The much-beloved Berlin techno-minimalist/producer Peter Grummich, in partnership with the Staubgold label, presents a dinner mix for your appetite and for your aural enjoyment. At first contemplation, this combination of hell-raising artist and highly-prolific and respectable label seems highly unlikely: however, both address gut-level feelings via music that has no boundaries. Dinner Music For Clubbers presents music for before and after one hits the floor. This isn't dance music, but music to listen to -- which inspires, stimulates and gently widens one's aural perception. The arc of this compilation comprises a complete menu -- from the aperitif to the digestive. This mix CD is Grummich's alternative to the uniform "Buenavistabuddhabar" ambience, which rules the cafés, bars and hip restaurants of this world with an iron fist. Featuring music by To Rococo Rot, Ehlers/Suchy/Hautzinger, Sack Und Blumm, Rafael Toral, Andrew Pekler, Kammerflimmer Kollektief, Alejandro Franov, Reuber, Alejandro Franov, Sun, Mapstation, No-Neck Blues Band And Embryo, Kammerflimmer Kollektief, and F.S. Blumm.

DISTRICT 022EP
|
"DoC brings back one of its heavy hitters, Peter Grummich's 'Therapy,' with remix treatment from two of our favorites Exercise One and Franklin de Costa. After hearing the Exercise One remix of Phil Sherburn's 'Lumberjacking' we knew we had to get these guys on board to do a remix for DoC. Their remix is sparse but remarkably full of energy and tension. XS1 brings a combination of unique digital percussion, lush reverberated effects, stark breaks, and tense pads. Clear and crisp production and an intimate knowledge of dancefloor dynamics makes XS1 a duo to watch. Franklin de Costa has also provided top notch remix work to this release. Franklin's remix pushes with a forward tech house groove and a growling synth bass. But from there, many rules have been broken. Obscure synth sounds and slightly off beat delays create a unique texture and feeling to this remix. An open or partly diminished mindset is required for full understanding of this remix. Dancefloors beware!"

KARLOFF 026EP
|
"Deep, deeper, Peter Grummich! This man is on a roll right now, and with every new release you have to ask yourself where this is all going to lead to? However with the Garden EP he now already delivers the perfect soundtrack for weeding the beds and waterblasting the terrace -- and for partying hard, of course. 'Beachtrak' prefers its quintessential sub-harmonics to just playing it safe with an up front bass drum, and finally channels its way in a wide arc up to the next level. A hit also for friends of water gardens. On the B-side, Grummich enlarges his melodic skills with a sweet flowery scent of Detroit on the track 'Garden,' and 'It's To Share,' which evolves into a great anthem with just an assumed number of 3 sounds and a couple of snotty claps. We recommend: shoes off and into the record shop!"

Peter has previously released on such respected labels as Spectral, Sender and Kompakt, and for Gomorra he has produced some groovy and dirty minimal techno tracks that will be instant dancefloor hits."

KARLOFF 022EP
|
"Who needs an obtrusively acting kick drum, when the decent wobbling bassline of 'Breezin' does the job just as good? Right -- nobody. Or, at least Peter Grummich doesn't, whose proverbial deepness constantly gets the floors into rapturous body-rolling. Here, all medium-dated orientation to felt (rather than experienced) standards is gladly left to other persons of great hope, while enjoying the border-crossing between dorky monkeyshine and serious spirit of adventure. Consequently, quick-thinking misbehavior is also the attitude of the B-side, where the horizon gets canvassed for both weird and life-affirming sounds, in grasp of the groove. Summarizing: dance music to breathe deeply."

MULE 035EP
|
Peter Grummich presents two tech-house tracks -- one is old-school Chicago house and the other is deep and minimal techno. Using a galaxy of software and the Korg MX1, Roland TR727, Roland JX8P, Korg MS20, Yamaha TG33 and Yamaha DX7, he displays his deftness in cutting and mixing acid house in pure freestyle action -- breaking boundaries and crafting songs that push the energy onto the floor.

KOM 108EP
|
"When the world is frozen and we still don´t freeze it could be due to peter grummich, that warms our hearts with ecstasising trance sequences. Sunbeams on the dance-sweaty skin. Eleven minutes of whirlpool-feeling without any beat. The title track, 'Frozen World', is a timeless endless-sequencer-trance-track with harmony change. As hypnotic as danceable. Old new school."

KOM 043EP
|
"With Peter Grummich's new record, an (more or less and so far) unknown artist steps out into the public light. But did someone say 'unknown' here? Actually, he's not really unknown. Over the past few years, he has released a number of records under various pseudonyms. Characteristic of him is the clever way he assembles complex, rhythmic elements to form incredible kicking grooves and intelligent techno tracks that generate a kind of soul out of their brute beauty. or, in other words: Peter Grummich is Lawrence's low-down, big brother.Irresistible also his talent to interweave abstract sounds together thus creating a buzzing whole. New techno, new funk, new soul. On with the show."
