Product Review

Following on from strong mixes from KODE 9 & JAMES HOLDEN comes the latest instalment from Berlin producer Sasha Ring AKA APPARAT. Whether on his own or with ELLEN ALLIEN as MODERAT Ring's fans have crossed over beyond club / electronic listeners due to his songwriting skills, subtly incorporated live elements and a definite warmth. While not aiming to be eclectic for the sake of it, the mix covers a broad range of music from the "post-dubstep" sounds of MARTYN, JOY ORBISON and RAMADANMAN; leftfield techno from PHON.O and PANTHA DU PRINCE and the points where indie & electronica meet like FOUR TET, BURIAL & THOM YORKE.
