After two very successful 12inches on Philpot, we are proud to present the first full-length album from Break SL aka Sebastian Lohse from Dresden! “City Wasteland” comes as a full CD as well as a split in two 12inches (release of part 2 in early autumn), including some tracks that are vinyl-exclusives. Break SL is still quite young, but you can feel that he already defined his own universe of sounds and proper production skills. After the smooth introduction with House-rooted strings, piano and sweet fm-synthesis, he explores already deepest territory of Detroit-influenced Techno with “Weird Dancer", followed by the lush playground-atmosphere over beatdown-excursions on “Kids".The track “My Love is for U” introduces us to the voice of Syjana, singing a duet with the maestro himself…pure sweetness! “Break it” pushes musical boundaries even further, breaking up with 4 to the floor: Funked-up Electro and meandering soundscapes, reminding us a lot of B12 and the likes…timeless! Next is “Laguna Seca” from his second 12inch on Philpot with the same name - a track that already made it into various charts when it was released, and a true masterpiece of it´s own. “Dirtbomb” shows some nice edges and has a kinda dark feeling to it. Hovering samples and a raw, dirty feel on the drums gives the whole track a very subtle blues, but the following “Slowmotion” pours oil on troubled water and has that endless floating, euphoric feeling, we sometimes miss on the floors of today. "Trombone" is taken from Break SL´s debut, a hidden gem of sparkling arpeggios, driving chords and a serious beat...this absolute killer comes in a different version on this Album! The next track "Move!" doesn´t carry it´s name for nothing, true-school Techno galore! "Searching" takes out the tempo a bit, keeps it funky, moody and Syjana´s voice rounds up this beautiful mellow track. The "Outro" breaks it up for the last time, leaving you stunned by the overall atmosphere and variety of moods, Break SL has created with this lovely album called "City Wasteland". We hope you enjoy it as much as we do and "thanks for purchasing a real copy!" Michel & Tobi ”
