Gute Luft in 2010 was a breezy, gorgeous dub techno portrait of Berlin city life, written as the soundtrack to the documentary 24h Berlin. Honigpumpe, three years earlier, brought a rubbery funk to his sound. Los Lagos confirms that he is still the master of the low-key masterpiece. Loewenzahnzimmer opens by lowering us into a nocturnal pit, looking out over a distant city skyline, like a negative image of Fuewa’s Birth Palace. The percussion grows into a proper groove by the end. Window is proper dub techno, a gorgeous pad sitting just beneath the action as it floats for almost nine minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost every track runs past seven minutes, and not a second is spent on dull experimentation. Morrislouis has a tech-tinged, reggae-leaning Fehlmann, while Triggerism brings the first true snare on the record. Freiluft imagines an Ashra-style kraut groove reinterpreted by Moritz von Oswald, and Neverevernever sounds like an alien dub rock band playing piano-led blues rock in the emptiness of space. Geworden closes on a minimal, effervescent high, with a notable sample of Huerco S.’s A Sea of Love. Fehlmann lets a drone cycle and adds arpeggiated synth, synthetic glass taps and chime rings, lighting the sample up from a fresh compositional angle rather than simply playing over it. It has been a while since a solo record from him, and the wait was worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kompakt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65214899847545,"sku":"KOMPAKT 388","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/6814\/2623\/files\/ThomasFehlmann-LosLagos.jpg?v=1794513409","url":"https:\/\/inverted-audio.store\/products\/thomas-fehlmann-los-lagos","provider":"Inverted Audio Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
