Audio Werner – Meanwhile (HCF17)
Audio Werner is from Germany. Meaning the chances of his electronic music being vastly superior to anything coming from somewhere like North Korea are incredibly high. HCF17 aka Meanwhile EP is a superbly crafted four track that pretty much cements my theory that techno from Germany is awesome. Although I’d rather call this Minimal Soul House or something. The entire EP is held together by Werner’s trademark deep bouncy bass and warbling melodies but in a much more mellow and, dare I say it, mature fashion compared with earlier releases.
‘Meanwhile’ has a real ambient backbone and in a way shows how little Werner has gone all grown up on us and added some depth to his productions. I’m a real sucker for stretched out violins and organ samples in all honesty. It just so happens that he’s coming over to play a couple of shows in the UK so it will definitely be exciting to see what he pulls out of the bag.
