LARS BEHRENROTH

Ice On The Sun EP (incl. Version Rmx)

Freerange Records / FR104

From the label, Freerange Records :
Time to introduce Lars Behrenroth to the Freerange fold with an impressive new EP entitled Ice On The Sun. Lars has an impressive track record of productions and remixes for a variety of labels including Chez Music, Deep4Life, Compost, Sonar Kollektiv and most recently Liebe*Detail.

With his Freerange debut he’s pulled out every deep stop in the book to produce two tracks of forward-thinking electronic club music which are complimented with an awesome remix by Version aka Charles Webster and Atjazz..

First up we have Ice On The Sun, a sublime slice of minimal deep house that retains understated energy whilst filters slowly open and close to build the arrangement.  A real slow burner that’ll warm things up nicely or create a nice bit of space in your set wherever you choose to drop it.

Feel The Sunshine is up next and treads a similar path but with the addition of some nice vocal hooks and all-important detroitesque synth lines layering things up.  The key to Lars's sound is his stripped-back approach to production where he keeps all the elements as dry as possible for maximum sonic impact.  We feel he’s got a fresh and unique touch to his tracks at a time where so much stuff is sounding a bit on the generic side of things.

The legends that are Charles Webster and Atjazz get busy with their Version remix of Ice On the Sun, turning in a supremely confident belter of a track which we know is going to prove very popular indeed.  This is a heads down groover that builds nicely and is loaded with attitude and dancefloor-pleasing sensibility.
