Having released under the aliases of Motion Unit and D-Saw. Produced together with and for, Oliver Huntemann and worked on remixes for the likes of the Chemical Brothers, Underworld and Extrawelt, january  2009 saw Andre release his first solo single on Ideal. 'Trauma' was an instant success and after a break to produce Oliver's third studio album, Andre returned with his track 'Helene' on Terence Fixmer's From Jupiter label and 'Dogma' with us again at ideal.   Hatzler is a name to watch. Having produced early productions for labels including Confused and Spiel-Zeug and released as part of Motion Unit, he took a break for many years to concentrate on musical genres other than techno. Working as a sound-designer, production developer and soundtrack composer, it was this break and building a studio that gave him a fresh outlook and ideas for when he returned to his own productions.   Today's release opens with the title track and 'Gallopper' goes off at more of a groovy trot. A fat kick drum and menacing bassline coupled with a cheeky vocal stab lead the way as a warped key melody enters, a a tightly coiled breakdown then drops back to the killer groove.   Next up we board the 'Train To Tsavo', and our dark ride takes off at a good pace. As our techno runaway settles into its groove its trippy, steel-drum-like melody twists and turns throughout, but never want to get off this ride.
