Philipp Quehenberger – Content [LP]

"Philipp Quehenberger's music has existed as a consistent strain amongst the Austrian underground for the last 15 years. His output is a cracking combination of dancefloor zeal and deep disco disorientation. A perpetually rotating sphere which blends genres while bending the body and mind. Quehenberger's sweaty cerebrum is significantly showcased on his second full-length for Editions Mego. Content ventures deeper into Quehenberger's world of electro noir, ketamine cool and sordid soul. "Fucked" is a monumental drive through a gloriously queasy and sleazy terrain which leads into the rolling rhythms of the killer Uff Uff 12" (DEMEGO 020EP). Here, an oozing psychedelic tapestry folds amongst muffled voices, resulting in a striking, propulsive chant. "Startled" further charts the depths of dance and disorientation as striding rhythms coalesce amongst gloriously diminishing synths. "Extended" bounces around an ecstatic carnival atmosphere where an abject ringleader swerves amongst swirling organs and a thick organic beat. "Content" is brimming with hard, driving dance music -- a bass line degenerate hurtling out of the speakers as the ultimate mood enhancer. Equal parts quarantine and club, Content is one of Quehenberger's finest works to date. Mastered at Dubplates & Mastering. Cover drawing by Marta Mikulec."
