Sten/Lawrence are two of the faces of Mr Peter M Kersten. He is one of the most appreciated producers in the oldschool German scene. It was under the name Lawrence that he edited great part of his works to labels like Ghostly International, Cocoon, Mule Electronics, Kompakt and Sender, but it’s in his Sten productions that you can feel all the intensive deep journeys that he is able to create, always based on a minimal Detroit techno structures and Chicago’s best refined deep house, directly made to hit the dancing people. On this 2nd Cd for the Dial label you will be able to enjoy all those intensive feelings that he creates. Several moments will mark you throughout the album, the deep slow morning tracks like in “Daylight”, or the pumpy four by four minimal techno constructions present in “Squares” (magnificent dancefloor track), or even the crazy techno acid tune “Take Me To The Fridge”. But what really marks this man work are piece’s of art like “Unknown faces” or “City of Dust”, with step by step constructions, always uprising the moods and ultimately leading you to a great feel of fun and enjoyment. “More Stash” is also another track with perfect magic moments, that could only be produced by this guy! This is my favourite track of the album and it will be featuring on a mix d by Sascha Funke next month – Watergate 02. The music of Sten has often been described as something visual, imaginary, like it may a transfigured painting of all tones of grey, showing disturbing plants growing into any directions. This album it’s just like that description, 9 jewels to be kept in the best collections! An extremely authentic piece.
