Are you feeling a bit down? Worry no more. „Electric Lounge Machine“ is here to uplift your spirits and boost your party morale. Produced by Swiss duo Tastatur, this album is that rare case of a healer. Part homelistening experience, part club adventure, it fuses quirky, uplifing synth modulations with drony melodies, creating an overall atmosphere that is awash in an atmosphere of soothing bits and beats. 
Released on the Berne’s very own imprint Everest records, Tastatur have infused their electroid template with a knack for playfulness: It’s a sound that chirps, bubbles and shimmers. A sound that equally explores the emptiness of space: these dubby maelstroms will suck you in just like that. With „Electric Lounge Machine“, Tastatur offer proof that they are masters at balancing out moods: This is electro with a pulse and a heart and a twist. Tastatur is the collaborative project of Berne-based producers Jakob Stoller and Daniel Wihler. Both artists are longtime friends and share a deep passion for going beyond the conventions of the dancefloor. 
„Electric Lounge Machine“ will be available as CD plus a 4-tracker 12-inch vinyl.

Tastatur - Electric Lounge Machine - Album Teaser

Is that club music we hear from Daniel Wihler and Jakob Stoller of Bern? No doubt about it. Only this project ventures at times into other realms and shows both its experimental and ambient side. The music of Tastatur defies classification. The pioneering spirit is what counts here: sounds are tried out, traced and fiddled around with. Wihler and Stoller have been at it since 2007; what began as a live project has evolved into a full-length album.

On the club scene, Daniel Wihler is known as Alphatronic and Mustfuzz and has published his music on labels such as Inzec or Anthony Rother's PSI49net. Jakob Stoller, better known as DJ Ramax both at home and abroad, has also put out a handful of releases. While Wihler has a flair for atmospheric music, Stoller leans toward a playful dance floor sound; this contrast is the driving force of Tastatur. Fragments of dub, disco, house, electro and break-beats are shredded, chewed up and translated into forward driving bass lines. And now and then a dreamy atmosphere takes flight. Sometimes Tastatur rattles and clatters, other times it hums and swings you through the night.
