johannes volk: tears & walls

There are no dreamy minimal sounds or deep house trips on Johannes Volk's Tears And Walls, instead you'll find headstrong techno pumping out of the speakers. "Tears And Walls" drives forward relentlessly with its meaty kick and metallic open hi-hats setting the pace. "A Little Story About Time And Space" follows in its footsteps although the mood here is notably more Detroit, reminiscent of productions on cult labels like Red Planet, Metroplex, or the Axis Records sound. Volk layers the track with more prominent harmonies and hypnotic arpeggios, giving it a subtle yet highly effective trance touch.
