On Germany’s brilliant Kompakt label, Closer Musik’s Matias Aguayo delivers a critique of the overcrowded and all to familiar minimal techno. Aguayo sidesteps the genre’s conventions by including a full on vocal line that targets music with “no groove, no balls” over funky guitar licks, lazy beats and a fair share of percussion.

It is all about the Dj Koze remix though. He delivers a beautiful deep house number where the vocal is laid on top of a neat new wave, dreamy filtered disco type groove you should be able to relate to – this tune as a lot going for it. I recommend you to check out more stuff from Koze if you like that warm, downtempo and minimal yet complex sounding techno. A starting point might be his 2003 remix of Heiko Voss “I think about you” that appeared on Michael Mayers “Fabric” compilation.
