It’s hard to imagine a deeper, warmer combination of house and techno than what Andre Lodemann serves up. Steering clear of misguided Civil Rights vocal samples and those same old Rhodes riffs, not to mention the sanitized sounds of so much middling tech-house, he instead pairs club-ready vibes with some of the most colorful and utterly heartfelt melodies that have been pressed to vinyl in a hot minute. The Dessous, Freerange, and Simple veteran — and Best Works boss — apparently has a similar knack for teasing sweet, sumptuous sounds out of his record bag, as evidenced by this gorgeous, exclusive mix that’s as deep as it is muscular. We also corresponded with Lodemann about his love for a good vocal, his history with trance, and the gradual resurgence of house music in Berlin. Read more on Last.fm.
