about

Thus far, almost all of the attention around Four Roses Recordings has been paid to Motor City Drum Ensemble. The Stuttgart producer's run of form has been rather stunning—his latest 12-inch for his own MCDE imprint has been the de facto Berlin soundtrack of late. No doubt hearing it played out is Sebastian Gaiser, the Berlin-based rep behind Four Roses, and owner of three of the five 12-inches that the imprint has released thus far.

His latest work for the label goes under his Classic Flowers guise, and that's exactly what the voice working in the background of "Whichflower" concerns itself with. Like many tracks of its ilk, it's hard to say that the sample is anything more than coloring for the house track around it. Gaiser's track is abusy on, the drums crumpling in on one another in classic microhouse style, but with a backbeat that belies his love of old-school house. Old and new, expertly mixed.

"Aclaime" is equally adept production-wise, but this classical instrumentation is pervasive. Sounding a bit like Raudive's effort for Macro earlier this year, it shimmers with a warmth that Oliver Ho purposefully left out. Like it, the beat almost seems incidental at times to the crush of unrelenting weirdness going on around it. You can listen to this at home and find something new each time you hear it. Hearing it out, though? Let's just say that it's unlikely to be the de facto soundtrack of Berlin anytime soon. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
