Mosaik

VINYL FORMAT. Moritz Friedrich (a.k.a. Siriusmo) has been making his adventurous mix of broken electro-pop and house for almost a decade now with a host of singles, EPs, and remixes to his name. That said, Mosaik, set for release on Modeselektor's Monkeytown imprint, marks his first venture into LP territory. The album's title track is a jittery head nodder with an infectious groove, one that seems to effortlessly come together and fall apart, never completely allowing you to loose your rhythmic footing in the bubbles of vocal and synth snippets before dropping the beat back into its irresistible pulse. As expected, it's veteran work from a producer that has spent the better part of two years putting his LP together, also in that time releasing the excellent The Plasterer of Love EP. Basically, the German DJ/producer has been busy and we're glad to hear the results. – XLR8R
