Bass Heavy Deep House 3 Tracker - Over the last couple of years, Christopher Rau has built a reputation as the finest ear canal masseuse in the contemporary house music scene, catching the attention of fellow Hamburger DJ Koze who has recruited him for this new three-track EP.
DJ Koze's Pampa has delivered with every release, spanning off kilter seasonal acid freakouts courtesy of Nathan Fake to the reinvigoration of Robag Wruhme. The latest release sees Chrstopher Rau step up to the plate and just like previous incumbents of a Pampa cat number the Smallville stalwart excels! Perhaps unfairly tainted with the sleep house tag in the past, Rau has already enjoyed the plaudits this year via his superlative take on "The Devils Eye" by Drake & Griffiths. Fans of that remix will delight in lead track "Pervading Animal" which smudges what sounds like a glistening Hall & Oats hook over a nicely interchangeable house bump. If the somewhat straightforward sheen of the A Side is not enough then the rougher discordant machine funk of "CFR" and the staccato bleeping rhythms of "How Are You Today" provide the requisite quirk.
