The second single taken from ‘Bubblebath Trance’, the forthcoming album by Rampue, which also marks A Tribe Called Kotori’s first foray into full-length territories, here comes ‘Verfahren / Schattenschranz’. Cut from the same immaculate, ethereal cloth that’s come to define his smoothly oneiric style over the years, this new pair of bleached-out belters from the Berlin-based escapologist treats us to an effortlessly lush tableau of both wistful and dynamic electronica, tear-jerking and multi-dimensional in essence. Fuelled on kodachromatic beachside vibes and faux balearic-infused jazz, Rampue’s sonic postcards are true poetry in motion, as their deep and largely dubbed-out flavours reveal themselves on a drip tease flex, fleshing out with unheard levels of detail and depth as you listen to them more attentively.

A total mindtrip of a track and deeply cinematic object, ‘Verfahren’ embraces Rampue’s hair-raising take on the classic electronica formula and injects it with an ambrosial nectar of uplifting trancey motifs and pixelated beauty akin to his beloved PS1 games’ soundtracks. Transporting downtempo beauties for the dance floor and not, sure to teleport you right up captivating dreamlands and away from the daily struggle. Dunked in thick puddles of tape delays and rippling reverbs, ‘Schattenschranz’ resounds with echoes from easternmost melodies and coastal jazz harmonics, weaving its own narrative at the conjunction of heavy-lidded boogie and Latin brass music to fascinating effect. Feet buried deep into a white blanket of sand, your mind wandering off to some exotic Shangri-La, Rampue’s music is a vessel to a whole other world, where burdens get wings of their own and hopefulness is the master plan. Electronics at its most refreshingly tuneful and forward-looking.

You can now lisen to the full premiere of ‘Schattenschranz’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
