robag wruhme - 'thora vukk'

Tweet

Without doubt one of the greatest electronica albums I've heard in the last ten years.

Robag Wruhme is a techno genius. There's no doubts about that.

Ah, now this is just incredible. Nearly 10 minutes of unadulterated techno loveliness from master remixer Robag Wruhme doing a lovely number with the Hundreds tune. It's quite something, this tune. Like a big friendly monster.

A rather lovely piece of electronica from one of the jewels in the Kompakt record label crown.

Taken from Robag Wruhme's brilliant remix album, this trippy little number popped up on my iPod at lunchtime and was a wonderful treat.

This is just so wonderful. Listening to it clinically, it is so perfect with everything in it that's needed and absolutely no fat on the bone, so to speak yet it still retains soul and passion. It's a rare thing.

I picked up a copy of 'Olga Mikks', the Robag Wruhme collected remixes album last week and am finally getting around to giving it a proper listen. It's as seductive as it is melodic and heartily recommend it for all the family. This is track 5 from the album.

This is playing right now on my stereo. It's track 3 on Wruhme's Wuppdeckmischmampflow album and is an exquisitely mixed tune on an incredibly well compiled album. The album is so fat with beats and percussion yet retains a minimalism at its core that allows a Villalobos track to feel right at home within.

...not my words but the message that someone posted on the podcast site of www.xlr8r.com

It's in response to a mix from Robag Wruhme and although I wouldn't probably use those words I heartily endorse the sentiment. He's got an ear for a tune has Robert. You can listen to it here. In fact I'd recommend that you do. 

robag wruhme - thora vukk

Robag Wruhme aka Gabor Schablizki has mellowed since his days as one half of the Wighnomy Brothers. He's been busy working on a mix for fellow travellers, Kompakt Records but this month also sees the release on DJ Koze's label, Pampa Records of his new album, Thora Vukk.

Wruhme's music has always had a subtlety especially in the drum patterns and there is a warmth to the sound that he's brought with him from his previous partnership. The album works on several levels and is deceptively clever. As background chill-out music it's just perfect and really is a cut above the usual chill-out Cafe Del Mar output. It's vary catchy too with some real tunes in there to tap your feet to but if you really want to appreciate his art then invest in some quality headphones so that you can best hear all the layers that have been piled onto this paradoxically minimalist album.

There are no weak tracks on here although some of the pieces are only a minute or so long but these act as a sort of crossroad to the next track and compliment the bigger compositions perfectly. The album crackles, fizzles, snaps and pops in a beautiful way. It's definitely been a good month for new music. You can hear the entire album on soundcloud here.
