Hamburgs very own Stimming arrives on the hospitable shores of a freshly cut Audiomatique with the wonderful ‚Buxton Pipes EP. With releases on Diynamic, Freerange, Terminal M and Liebe*Detail Martin Stimmings carreer was boosted by the underground hit "Una Pena" last year and peaked in his debut album ‚Refl ections earlier this year. ‚Buxton Pipes, the lead track on the new EP, is a beautifully reduced, gentle roller that combines textural, shifting fi ltered percussion, phasing, effected melodies and a rich sub-room sound design that confi rms Stimmings talents at working those subliminal zones. Dainty, pretty and yet totally punchy at the right volumes, its a genuine slice of ultra modern micro-post-minimal- house. Continuing the trippy, time-melting vibe perfectly, ‚Kakusei arrives with its pushing array of softened percussion and carefully extended spooky breakdowns. Sliding and squelching through 7 minutes of prime tracky workout territory its another stellar addition to the record. Finally the skipping ‚Seepferdchen throws a spanner in the otherwise smooth grooves with delicately jacked drum patterns and controlled sub-bassline throwdowns. Super funky, ultimately reduced and sample-heavy itll make those afterhours carry-ons all the more delicious. Simply superb work from Stimming on Audiomatique.Tracklisting:A: Boxton PipesB1: KakuseiB2: Seepferdchen
