Reboot 'aLIVE' (Get Physical Music)
German production wizard Frank Heinrich, aka Reboot, blends his love of house, techno and organic rhythms to deliver a propulsive, terrace-focused third album. Five years after his debut full-length ‘Shunyata’ and with a new live show to boot, ‘aLIVE’ is a mood-setting Ibiza-ready collection. Opener ‘All Live Is Good’ is soft and airy, ‘Are You Losing My Mind’ boasts squelching synths and groove-laden hooks and the woozy bassline of ‘Timelive’ acts as a midnight intoxicator. ‘Just Hang On’ is rolling house at its best and the tantalising textures of ‘Tea Time’ will move your body, but ‘Pollo Al Sillao’ is the immediate attention grabber thanks to its swelling drums, bubbling chords and punchy bells.
