Andre Galluzzi & Dana Ruh - Freya / Mauersegler
19 October 2010
Berghain / Panoramabar resident André Galluzzi kick
started Ostugt Ton almost 5 years ago with his pivotal Berghain 01 mix CD. Now
he finally returns home alongside close colleague Dana Ruh, with this 2 track
foray into cutting-edge hypnotic territories. Alongside her forthcoming
collaborations with Galluzzi, and a new label forged by André, Dana Ruh runs
the respected Broquade platform where her elegant inclinations in sound can be
explored further.
Traversing the dizzy boundaries between DJ tool and extended moment of elation,
both tracks come across like a snapshot in time; a special moment preserved.
'Freya' is an understated cut whose attitude lies within the strength of
insistent drum patterns, the long rolling arrangement and no-nonsense
resolutions. Fluttering vocal utterances and dadaist crescendos characterise
this refined ode to percussion.
'Mauersleger' weaves a more urgent path, trailing off deeper into the forest in
search of clandestine thrills. Tripping delay effects and a gentle dose of
softly voiced manipulations lock the listener into this undulating slice of
next wave minimalism.
