Review: Umwelt - ...City (Shelter 02)


I think Umwelt caught my attention ca. 2008. He has been around for much longer, though, and this is one of his earliest works.
But it feels positively out of time and space, because it is not quite withing the ordinary, any style, or scene.
Some might call these tracks "electro" ; but it is far different from the retro-electro sound that happened at the same time, or even the original electro-funk of the 80s.
Maybe some sounds by Somatic Responses, Lory D, or The Mover find their mirror here.

But above all, it emits a vibe of pure future, like all your favorite dystopias have come alive, and you are walking inside Blade Runner, Fahrenheit 451, or do Logan's Run.

Favorite pick: Dead City.
