protolith
written and produced by danny kreutzfeldt
awesome - already having released on autoplate, we now present danny kreutzfeldt to the thinner hood. the "protolith ep" is our most spacey release yet and best enjoyed during midnight. though half of the ep is pure ambience us found it still fitting perfect to thinner since we already thought the same after listening to blamstrains "kavel ep". ambient works out, so "core 1" is nested in best fluxion stratosphere and one of the deepest tracks ive heard for a long while. "chasm 2" is a laidback construction of hihats dripping down in never-neverland and twisted breathing from nowhere. on "inside 2" danny delivers a warm and dreamy ambient dubhouse masterpiece with shattered hooks and a solid beat. "core 2" is music made perfect for tea-drinking winter nights, but us didnt want to wait so long to release this ep. almost filmic cloudy ambience and reverbed icebreaking effects, "core 2" was the theme of the sgis.ch night at the kairo club in bern in may. theres more to come from danny for thinner, also a remixes ep for him will follow.text written by sebastian redenz

frankly speaking, when i first downloaded and listened to the ep, i wondered - why thinner? the point is that a danish danny kreutzfeldt had already released one album through autoplate, which seemed to me to be not so interesting. it sounded hundred per cent ambient and certainly not techno-house-urban-dub-what′s-else. the first song on protolith is also ambient: some rubber is slowly stretching out, sounding muffled and toneless, without haste and emotions, without any direction. there′s no need for a direction, this music is just to fill the void. but the second track crosses the t′s; most probably, the album is a variation of micro-house with drops of click′n′cuts, so it fits thinner well. the sound of the ep reminded me tlon′s works (jean sebastian raux). but tlon makes music for thinking it over, while danny kreutzfeldt just for listening in. however, the music is not as good as that it was released through thinner. and i′ll eat my head if sebastian redenz wasn′t right when writing in the press release that this music is better perceived at night. actually, this is the first rate lullaby and nothing more.
