Like hardly any other ambassador of modern Rhein Main House music, Christian Burkhardt has experienced a true rocket-like takeoff in the last year. Burkhardt's Cocoon debut EP "Stopover Goa" has, after one year, still a place of honour in many DJ's record cases. Also his legendary live set in the pouring rain at last year's Green & Blue may belong to the lasting memories of a life dedicated to electronic music. The Heidelberg-born producer has already worked for La Peña, Raum…Musik and Oslo, and his collaborations with Einzelkind and Sascha Dive became a talking point, too. With his second EP for Cocoon, he again sets new standards. There's nobody around who is able to alienate vocals from the collective memory of Afro-American culture into a hallucinogenic cocktail without harmful side effects in such a way than Burkhardt is. Nevertheless, and despite the massive, forward-pushing bass drum and hand claps, he never loses the focus of his Soul. So - open your mind, we wish you lots of fun with "Heart and Mind" and the considerably acid-like "Waffles", while the tropical-hypnotic seagull atmosphere of "Twentysecondcenturydrama" already whets the appetite for the upcoming club summer season of 2012.

It is obvious to attentive observers of the electronic dance music scene that, over the last few years, the Rhein Main region has developed into a true Mecca of that modern definition of House which is well able to build highly inspirational sound bridges between the abstraction of Minimal Techno and the Funk in US House music. One of the pioneers of this movement is the Heidelberg-born Christian Burkhardt, who now lives in Frankfurt. With his releases on Oslo and Raum...Musik., as a part of the La Peña Collective and with his album "Revolver", which he produced together with Einzelkind in 2010, he has created permanent musical values. Burkhardt's debut on Cocoon, "Stop Over Goa" is even better: percussive Funk, powerful hand claps, some Wild Pitch Acid and alienated Adrenaline-Diva vocals are causing a massive dancefloor mobilization which would even make Matt Edwards aka Radio Slave envious. In a less obvious way, "Chanel" is hypnotizing the listener with vibrating form of tribal House reduction that cultivates statically charged energy states over almost nine minutes. Rarely did modern House music sound equally complex and clearly structured.
