SCANNER starts of with "INTERREUM", a slowly building track originally composed for a movie and installation about trains that was premiered in Leipzig by end of 2004 called "Soundtrain". By using string samples and industrial beats the track evolves to a fast paced train ride that originally coincided with images of related visual footage responding to the music. ONETHEMA ?s "MONOCARPIC" sets the pace back for some future instrumental HipHop explorations. As XLR8R once put it: "Another music revolution is being ushered in by producers like 20-year-old London resident Simon Petre (Onethema)". A totally stunning composition giving an insight in what future music can sound today. QUENCH aka the Funken Brothers from the Netherlands (also known as the producers of Shadowhuntaz or Funckarma) head back to classical Electronica/IDM structures with "SLICK" where splattered beatz meet up with gorgeous melodies to form a unique listening pleasure. ROD finishes this second installement of the series with the track "SANTAS FACTORY". Industrial beats evoke a dramatic, melancholy feel that one would not have expected from Rod who is known for his beautiful melodic compositions from the "All My Love" EP released earlier this year. This time he heads straight to head nodding repetitive beat explorations and focuses on heavy drums and bass instead of sparkling melodies.
