oliver deutschmann: lost in a loop

Oliver Deutschmann's hard-edged beats, insistent tones, and occasional flash of devious humor make him a natural addition to the Mote Evolver roster. Deutschmann's deft usage of split-second samples on the opening track "Seduced" -- a distant, repeated murmur and a dense acid bassline. The interlude "Apsurt" follows with lofty, faintly ominous synth pads. "Survive", like "Seduced", relies on the repetition of a single reverberating word to set the tone, while the hammering drum patterns fill in the details. "Lost" dispenses with vocalizations completely and lets the steaming mechanical processes take center stage.
