The Night Will Last Forever

There are so many German producers making minimal/dub techno that only the most distinctive sounds stand out: Sender have got it with their visceral funk and, at the other end of the spectrum, Lawrence’s windswept, melodic techno compositions are exceptional. This third album features contemplative, neo-orchestral interludes – ‘Leave Me Tomorrow’ could have been written by Michael Nyman – alongside resonating basslines and rhythms inspired by Chicago and re-imagined in a new, experimental context. While tracks like the jacking ‘The Lawn’ are ideal for DJ use, the irresistible charm of ‘Night’ is best appreciated in one never-ending sitting.
