Jonathan Kaspar - Muster EP

Jonathan Kaspar, the resident of Cologne’s Gewoelbe Club, has fast become a staple of hometown imprint Kompakt where he’s brought an evocative style of dancefloor drama across several EPs. Much like his previous outing (the Kante EP) this latest release by Kaspar is right in line with the label’s sound, faithfully recreating snapshots of their many phases over the years. The mesmerising “Muster” with its minimal acid chug, harks back to the label’s output at the turn of the millenium, while the brooding atmosphere of “Alle” makes for perfect mood music during those heads down moments in the club – in typical Kompakt fashion. There are also two featured versions of “Beton”; the main one is a bouncy yet subtle tech house groove underpinned with clipped rhythm programming – the latter aspect playing centre stage on the Strip Down version.
