4. Jakob Reiter - Korg by Turbolenz Records published on 2021-08-13T13:54:40Z Germany-based label Turbolenz presents its first ever album release with an LP of newly signed artist Jakob Reiter. ‘The Aftermath’ is a versatile and complex record of 11 tracks that vary uniquely in tempo, genre, and style, yet together create a perfect balance. With each track telling a different story, the album is a cosmos of its own that takes the listener on a planet-hopping excursion. The opening song ‘Dreamy’ joins contemporary Hip Hop elements and lo-fi ambient sounds into a powerful, and as the title suggests, dreamy mix which certainly makes for an interesting start. The pace picks up in the second track ‘Opus’, a slow-tempo House piece with a fat and trippy bassline over percussive grooves. Then, without further notice, it gets time to hit the dance floor. Third song titled ‘Curso’ and its wonky, cheerful synth electrifies and pushes us forward. Next is ‘Korg’ shaking the album’s buildup with a breakbeat over a range of experimental elements and thick bass sequences. In ‘Osho’, Reiter elegantly returns to four-to-the-floor, integrating vocal samples, distorted sounds, and swinging drum work. Our minds move deeper into the club, following the punchy Tech-House composition of ‘Puncto’. Right after, and just in time for the season, ‘Pan Pipes’ lets us dream of open-air festivals and speculate about summer tunes. Our tip-toeing continues in ‘I Feel Like’ – a rhythmical and balanced tune, with voice sections spread across. The following is the track that gives the album its title: ‘The Aftermath’ slows the record down for a moment and lets smooth shakers and a confident bassline take over to guarantee nodding heads. It’s time for our excursion to get back on the imaginary dance floor with the track ‘Gestade’ – a strong track with a driving rise. As we’re coming to an end, ‘Roads’ lifts us up one last time. A deep House piece as the perfect closing to make sure we are safely put back on planet Earth. Overall, the album ‘The Aftermath’ is packed with many different stories. Stories about emotions, places, and memories that are inviting us to dance along each of them. A remix compilation of this multifaceted LP is in the works that already suggests an interesting aftermath to ‘The Aftermath’. "Artwork by Elizaveta Sudravskaya.
