When people speak of lush, gorgeous electronic music, a lot of disparate ideas and styles cross your mind. The deep sexy house of Kevin Yost, the lush smoothness of a old Sasha set or the jazzy instrumentation of Truby Trio might make an appearance, but it isn’t often you would hear those adjectives and Techno thrown about in the same description. Enter Alexander Kowalski and his brand new album Response, to muddy the waters that much more. Describing this as a collection of dancefloor ready jams that will prove to be equally effectively in your living room or car, might confuse you. But you owe it to yourself to give this a proper listen and let the music take you and your mind on a journey. The TOP album of 2003.
