Microesfera – Dalmatians

With the duo Microesfera based in Buenos Aires we return to the birthplace of Traum. Microesfera are best known for their releases on Mule Musiq, Kompakt and Static Discos. "Dalmatians" is a fusion of deep house and electronica fueled with sound loops, acid sequences and micro elements that results in a nice stream of multiple atmospheric sounds. Slowly but gentle and by repetition they make the way into your cortex. The archetypal approach has caught our attention here, sometimes it is the best way to feel music.

Kurtz - Make Feel

The versatile Kurtz aka Bernado Di Sabatino is known for his complex compositions which have brought him international fame.
