Berlin based cohorts Ekkohaus and Rufus (also part of Tru West and Nightdrivers) consummate their friendship with this four-track mission statement that deals in gutsy house music with a range of moods to suit every corner of the night. Studer is a cheeky cut with jazzy key flurries and a fulsome bassline squelch, while Pagan takes a tougher route into heavy delay feedback and pure rhythmic intensity. The End Of An Ear is a playful beast that takes off-key melodies and oddball noises and works them into a moody, heavy grooving context, while Peace & Reflection pushes the swing past the brink for a leftfield house jam that sounds liable to fall apart at any minute, in a good way of course. Pressing on translucent, blue colored vinyl.
