Round and Round is a new album from Matthias Tanzmann that comes three years after Momentum.
This third full length is a more widescreen overview of his entire career and comes just after he was nominated, for the sixth time, as the Best Tech House DJ in the annual Ibiza DJ Awards.
The album was all written in the last year, but reflects every facet of the artist's sound, so unfolds something like a career-long musical diary: from the collaboration with long-time friend and Poker Flat chief Steve Bug, which harks back to the early days of deep house, via newer connections and modern techno with Rebuke, tracks with old companions like Mathias Kaden, and on to new creative links with contemporary stars like Mihalis Safras and Black Circle.
These collaborations with friends old and new define the record but never detract from Tanzmann's own superb solo cuts. Sci-fi house, deep cut tech, warm vocal tracks and peak time pumpers are all unified by sleek and stylish production that is utterly contemporary.
Once again then the Moon Harbour boos looks set to dictate house trends.
