David Löhlein delivers the Hotel Pool EP

David Löhlein's "Hotel Pool" plunges into its rushing basslines and rolling polyrhythms with no hesitation. Löhlein cites solo travels in Colombia as the source of his Latin influences, and one hears them throughout EP in vocal and percussive samples, elements more commonly found in Latin and tribal house feel uncommonly fresh once Löhlein recontextualizes them within a 144 bpm techno foundation. A stream of hedonism flows beneath the entire four-tracker, but if the opening title track is erotic, "La Piscina" is psychedelic. The bass flutters like a mescaline come-up as infinite loops of chattering voices and deep bamboo pipe notes mesmerize.

Leading the flip, "Cuando Vengas" heats up around a dark and sticky loop of ambiguous, organic origin. Here Löhlein's masterful sample programming is clearly on display, with vocal chops and subtle rhythmic variations leading the dancefloor to shivering bliss before "I Just Want" closes out the EP as a sparse, cold, and bit-crushed stalker of a track.

Stuttgart's David Löhlein manifests a singular style of sight and sound through his Vision Ektase project and residency at Lehmann Club. Löhlein's warm-blooded techno is slinking, slithering, and seducing its way through Boysnoize Records with the upcoming Hotel Pool EP release.
