christian nielsen/locked groove: speicher 96

Christian Nielsen is a musician you would not immediately expect to see behind the Speicher/Kompakt Extra crest. "Hard Times" is a primetime melodic monster that bridges the right transitions, right when you need them to. Berlin via Belgium techno juggernaut Locked Groove offers "Dawn", a magical tune that loops along, but evolves with every listen. Intricate drums balance well with lush minimalistic melodies.
