Let's keep it short: The eponymous "It's All" is their most impressive song to date. Since their label debut "Garant", The Von Duesz represent live performed club music in the niche between Electronica, Kraut and Jazz. Now they intensify their open approach by transforming it into sublime Pop – a change that suits them extremely well. Even if "Alert Me" shows that Florian Schäffer, Henning Rice and Ismail Oezgentuerk are still experts of improvisation, combined with the perfectly staged arrangements particularly of "It's All" and "The Eye" they give M=Maximal a truly elaborate record. "It's All" is characterised not only by Oezgentuerks plaintive baritone vocals but also by its sparing drums and infiltrating Moog sounds, evoking a profound and decelerated pathos – as if Caribou and The Notwist were having a studio session to record a little hit song. Three artists accepted the invitation to put a new perspective on this gem. Egokind, well booked Berlin sound scientist, adds even more deepness to the the mix and makes a proposal on how Burial's vocal cuts could sound in daylight. Truly more of a rework than a remix is the track by Gebrüder Teichmann, who bare the original song by focussing on drums and adding dissonances. The final track is made by Christian Borngräber's and Ulrich Hornberg's project More Of Radical Architecture. Their M.O.R.A. remix shows a retro?futuristic and uptempo version of "It's All".

A "multitasker", a one-man army, a chameleon: Simply put, Markus Wormstorm is a phenomenon. As we look for the perfect door to open for this restless man from Kapstadt, we cannot seem to find a single one that would actually please us. The 30?year old South African is a writer, a sculptor, an app and video game designer, a composer, a cat lover, a founding member of a fantasy collective for animated short films, a producer and an electronic musician. In a nutshell, he is that sort of classical educated pianist that can barely stay still. Last year Wormstorm presented us with a one?of?a?kind?project: "Not I, But A Friend". Available as a free download, the thirteen tracks offer 50?minutes of a musical odyssey characterized by a tremendous depth and an emotional deepness rarely seen before. Filled with spooky vocals, plaintive strings, tickling basses and a Yann Tiersen?based ivories romanticism, Wormstorm's "Ambient?Electronica" reenacts a world of mystical subtleties, spectral textures and acoustic details. Instead of becoming a dance album or a typical sound landscape, his music verges on an atmospheric soundscape with a rather gloomy, cinematic touch. "Not I, But A Friend" offers us a contrasting ride of musical textures enriched with vibraphones, clarinets, marimbas, cellos and even tweeting birds. This brings Wormstorm to a musical cornerstone that may even well be appealing to jazz, hip?hop or techno trendsetters. Modern, classic and minimalistic, "Not I, But A Friend" promises to be the spring soundtrack of the subconscious.
