“Piano Piano, Sven Tasnadi Rmx”
Label Mothership
Cat. No. MSHIP005
Review
At the forefront of the new wave of German techno, P.Toile and her co- producer Alexander Krueger
(aka Tigerskin, aka Dub Taylor) have created a jittery, bubbly bomb without a piano in sight. Propelled
by chopped up vocals and rolling snares, “Piano Piano” conjures up images of an 18-wheeler chugging down
a lonely highway on a rainy night, receiving fractured instructions over a faulty CB radio. Midway through
the track, ethereal pads pierce through the darkness. The rain stops, the clouds part, and the melodic
percussion hammers back in.
Sven Tasnádi has dominated Cargo Edition’s recent release schedule with his own unique productions as
well as collaborations with Daniel Stefanik, so we are understandably excited about his first contribution
to mothership. Sven’s ‘Adventsfrequenz rimüxx’ pulls us even deeper, exploring “Piano Piano’s” main chords
from a percolating underwater world. A steadily building groove unfurls majestically on the ocean floor,
punctuated by rolling congas and sudden crashes, as if a hurricane raged on the water’s surface.
