Textures 001 kicks of a new series for 2025. 
Picture taken in Cambridge one foggy Thursday evening. 
The pictures (a small series of shadow on raised concrete) inspired me to get back behind the decks and try a new exciting series of music accompaniments to my 'snaps' 
I'll be adding to this series often, (I find its best not confirm dates as I always break them). Expect to see a new image with a new mix as regularly as I can muster. 
Hope you vibe on these as I put them out. Please comment, engage and most of all. Enjoy.

Mike Huckaby - The My Life With The Wave Show - 5813397

Release Date: July 01, 2013

It is neither a new computer game, nor a novelist - but most certainly the tightest live formation that Jazz & Milk has to offer to date! GTA Hoffmann sips out of your ear, sways your hips and bypasses the vessels of your awareness, 120 times per minute. Three musicians, experienced in diverse and manifold musical areas, play their own and unique creation of live dance music.

Beni Brachtel, aka Bartellow (guitar), Lukas Rabe (keys) and Gabriel Hahn (drums) operate their instruments as armatures of turning knobs, sliders and effect pedals and pave their way through earthy R'n'B grooves, wooden house and analogue elevator-minimalism. As improvisers and composers they love to play with shapes, moods and all types of sounds. The result is pure energy, which inspires deep listening, immersion and dancing.

What appears to be an artificially produced electronica record is in fact the live sound of a trio, which levitates through space and time - far away from any musical categorization - while sonically complementing and reorganizing earthly pulse.

GTA Hoffmann are:
Beni Brachtel - guitar
Lukas Rabe - keys
Gabriel Hahn - drums

composed, recorded and mixed by GTA Hoffmann

Artwork by Paul Bowler
Mastered by Frankie Francis at The Carvery
