Matthias Tanzmann 'Momentum' (Moon Harbour)
Moon Harbour boss Matthias Tanzmann is a master of the kind of loopy tech-house that offers just enough to keep tired DC10 dancers moving for days. But for his latest album, the German goes back to his roots, revisiting the house music he first started making years ago. It’s a wise choice given the format, because there’s enough depth, detail, funk and playfulness for all 10 tracks to work away from the dancefloor. A certain infectious loopiness still prevails, but there’s humour in cheeky numbers like ‘Shake Shake’, while the house party vibes of ‘Fireworks On The Roof’ and gorgeously weightless grooves of ‘Laika’ prove Tanzmann is no stranger to real mood and nuance.
