Julian Wassermann has been at the cutting edge of the Melodic House and Deep Techno scene for over a decade as he now appears on Balance Music with the 4-track ‘My Side‘ EP.
With further forays into the realm of Tech and Deep House, the Munich based artist has been a regular across the clubs of his homeland including Berlin’s Watergate and a residency at Munich’s Harry Klein. Moreover, festival appearances at Pleinvrees in Amsterdam and Stuttgart’s SEMF has seen Wassermann take captivated audiences on a journey through diverse and energised sets.
In tandem, a production career has borne witness to some 400 credits spanning an array of the most respected independent imprints in the underground dance scene.
This latest EP now sees Julian Wassermann make his Balance Music debut with typical aplomb. ‘My Side’ features a powerful rhythmic force as a sizzling top line adds tension and vibrancy. Simultaneously, a rippling arpeggio and spine-tingling bassline sequence emerge in impressive fashion to create a sublime melodic pattern that shimmers in analogue glory against the metronomic rhythm, before a beatless breakdown demonstrates its full majesty. An intermittent vocal cut pushes the track forward to a rousing finale.
‘Tetra‘ revels in its growling and fizzing bassline. A deep kick and off-beat percussion keep the energy high as a pitched synth arpeggio creates dancefloor intensity. A chorus of intermittent effects and counterpoint motifs provide a woven tapestry of sound that peak in a metronomic crescendo at the 4-minute mark as the key elements seamlessly drop away, one by one, in the final stages to create an exquisitely crafted piece.
‘Faro‘ is steeped in trademark techno sensibilities as a whip-cracking kick drives the track forward atop a rumbling and sustained bassline. Building steadily a lead line filters into sonic range as it evolves into an immaculately syncopated motif. Rising and falling with ease, the track is a seething dancefloor powerhouse.
‘Blossom‘ rounds off the EP in style with its deep and hypnotic vibe.
