It was a breakthrough by name, and by nature. By 2013, Carlo Ruetz had been playing twisted technoid minimal for a decade, but it was his debut longplayer of that year - Breakthrough - that launched him into the spotlight. Within 24 hours of its release the album crashed into the top spot of Beatport's minimal techno chart, and it also caught the discerning ear of Richie Hawtin. Since that unmissable moment, Carlo has only gathered more and more momentum; acclaimed EPs for MINUS, DEEPERFECT and KD MUSIC, alongside memorable performances at international Minus showcases and Richie Hawtin's essential Ibiza night ENTER. Unique in sound and in situation, Carlo Ruetz is the 'overnight sensation' born of ten years in the trenches of the underground.

Rostock-bred Carlo bought his first turntables and mixer in 2001, and his devotion to the minimalist aesthetic was forged in his early sets. He soon became a regular fixture of clubs and open air parties in northern Germany, then broadened his horizons further, to blaze the stage at ENTER. Ibiza at Space, FUSE Brussels, TOFFLER Rotterdam, 10 DAYS OFF - The Last Waltz Ghent, and a 2015 tour through India. Carlo began writing his own compositions in 2010, and marked up releases for Moonplay Records and Slaap Records before the game-changing arrival of Breakthrough through Supdub Digitales. Carlo Ruetz is Known for starting from scratch with every production, mining deep for unexpected sounds and arrangements, and taking compelling bends and turns while in the DJ booth. It's no surprise that Richie Hawtin counts Carlo Ruetz as part of the new Minus generation. Expect to hear more from this overnight veteran who exists at the leading edge of minimalism and techno.

DELUXE VERSION OF 'BLANK PROJECT' OUT NOW VIA SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND: http://bit.ly/1t8eA6L

Four Tet’s sparse, apocalyptic production practically demands Yeezus comparisons. But then again, Cherry was singing over sparse, brutal, state-of-the-art rap sonics nearly a quarter century ago.“  - Stereogum

One of the most overused words in electronic music, besides the often used 'genius' and 'banging', might be 'hypnotic'. Of course, any repetitive music with chords or tones and a steady pulse might qualify for that term. But in the case of Mogo, the alias of Mexican producer Arturo Jimenez, it has seldom sounded more true and to the point. I don't know if it's the soft focus synths that suck you in or the clean, propulsive rhythms, but it works like a charm.

Reminds me a lot of Blade Runner 2049's soundtrack, while at the same time sounding nothing like it. It has an element of sci-fi, more elements of really deep, Terrence Dixon-esque Detroit techno, but that soft touch in the synths and laid back approach to letting the elements of the songs do its work on your mind and thoughts is the key element. Mogo easily bends space and time to take you on a journey beyond the linear realm. Give in to it's seductive charm and hug the warm sounds coming out of your speakers, you won't regret it...
