Motorcitysoul are Frankfurt veterans and deep house pioneers Matthias Vogt and Christian Rindermann (aka C-Rock). Here, finally, after 4 years they treat you to their second studio album, but also their first album fully written and produced together as a duo (the first album was written by Matthias, and C-Rock helped produce it). Following two very successful releases (.Kazan’ and Space Katzle’) on Will Saul’s Aus Music last year, the guys started putting together an album and Will saw his Simple label as the perfect avenue to release it. After more than six months of intense work and experimentation in the studio .Technique’ is now ready. A feast of lush melodies and harmonies, lovingly crafted beats and percussion, ambient excellence and smart vocal numbers. On the album’s title C- Rock explains: “It’s an elegant word that refers to the way we work and hopefully how our music sounds. We’re very technically focused yet we aim for our music to have genuine soul and warmth. We also do everything in the studio so technique is the key to that.” .The Start/Deliver Me’ kicks off the journey into the Motorcitysoul sound, enlisting the vocal talents of Swedish vocalist Ernesto to complement the soulful, summer-tinged house grooves. As the lush chords build and the vocals progress, it’s clear this uplifting opener is one that’ll have you rolling down your car window with a smile on your face. “Maybe it’s a risk to start a house based concept album with such a soulful track but we don’t have to justify it, because of the soul in our name,” says C-Rock wryly. .Space Kätzle’ was originally a hit last year on Aus Music, .Space Cats’ (as it translates) sees Matthias and C- Rock use their studio expertise to layer together lavish arpeggios and harmonies that treat you to an almost cosmic house voyage. .Solar’ is the first .ode to the cinema soundtrack’ offering on the album and sees the guys get experimental in the studio with deep trippy keys layered with mad aquatic sounds. .C
