This is the third full-length from Germany's Peter Kremeier aka Losoul on the Playhouse label. The man who used to call himself Don Disco and created monoliths in the history of Playhouse with tracks such as "Open Door," "Brother In Love," and "Lies" has chosen Care as the title of this record, as he muses over the state of a culture in dire need of reformation, conscience, and true nurturing. Influenced by his life and viewpoint as a DJ and live act, this album includes pieces like "Lords Of Sanity" that draws upon certain moments and dynamics in clubs that elude description, where functionality and individuality are not always opposites. "Gridlock" carries the unconventionally deep and hypnotic Losoul groove into the year 2009, while "Sunlite" lifts the industry ruins of the Motor City like a phoenix from the ashes: a homage without any plagiarism. A didactic masterpiece for all those who have forgotten about their local paper in favor of the Detroit News. The tracks on this album were composed with utmost meticulousness, as one would expect of Losoul -- absolute dedication and the right awareness of space and sound. Losoul does without the fuss that producers often fall victim to when seeking expression in album length. There's no superfluous nonsense or false tricks intended to communicate supposed versatility. The beat is the vehicle here. Care is a lucid and pure declaration of belief in a form of house and techno that has not forgotten its roots and loves them dearly, but isn't scared of stepping outside of them. Melancholy is a part of it just as much as comprehensible and authentic positivity. In other words: cheerfulness that has met sadness before.
