Audio Werner - HIGH - Hartchef Discos - HCF20

The master of the understated house track, Audio Werner is back on his own Hartchef Discos label with three prime slabs of heads-down, shuffling magic for the innermost folds of the night. "High" is arresting in its grandeur, holding down a trademark crisp, clean beat while massive walls of pad hover behind filters and bewitching melodies and vocal samples bleed out into the space around. "Duvel" is a pared down affair, upping the stakes in jazzy, shuffling drums while freaky noodles of synth twist around the insanely funky groove. "All Of Her" is the obligatory curveball track, running rich piano samples and double bass over a chugging drum machine stomp buried way down in the mix.
