Filterwolf – Music From Tomorrow
After his debut EP on Process Records late last year Filter wolf raised a few eyebrows with his quirky take on tech-house, a theme which holds here across an album of post-minimal excellence.
Bosnian born but raised in Germany, Filter wolf (aka Adman Doric) is influenced by minimal sound of recent years but adds an almost 1980s-influenced twist to his work. They’re straight-forward in concept but have an x-factor and unique funk about them which stands out as quite distinct to most releases you’ll hear.
Starting out with ‘Sofia’, an ethnic music-inspired groove with an analogue synth bouncing throughout, you immediately have an idea of the sound here. ‘Acrobat’ and ‘Terra Tech’ follow similar lines, making great use of vocals intermingled with bouncing synths.
The standout track is ‘Nocturne‘, a simply brilliant piece of tech-house which will be rocking dance floors for a long time to come. On first listen it has an obviousness which could be mistaken for so much other rubbish out there but here the quality holds it together so well – from the vocal elements to the Kraftwerk style futuristic cheekiness of the main synth.
‘Viva’ and ‘Hedonistica’ take a more pacey, dance floor vibe while keeping with the theme of oddball haunting vocals, stabbed keys and a 1980s-inspired quirk which you’d be hard pressed to find in such consistent quality outside of Carl Craig and other classic techno-slanted electronic artists. While this is really more a collection of singles than a true album it is a great showcase of Filterwolf’s signature sound of quirky and original productions.
