LAWRENCE

After seven albums under his various production aliases, Lawrence now continues the perfection of his sound vision as a DJ. "Timeless" is far away from the dictate of the obligation to be as current as possible that DJs face nowadays. Instead it celebrates electronic dance music as a timeless sensual component. With instinctive certainty, Kersten covers 16 years of living club history without ever losing the sight of 'here and now' or even becoming the slightest bit nostalgic.

Instead, under his guidance, milestones of minimal & deep house like "Forever Monna" by Chez Damier, Ron Trent and Stacey Pullen (1995) or the 1999 club hit "Overcome by Thomas Melchior/Baby Ford come together with contemporary hommages to Detroit Techno like Smallpeople & Rau’s "Life Aquatic", Delano Smith’s "My Life" or Pigon’s fantastic Dub Tech romance "Beatmatching". Besides that, the mix also features such well-known names as Aril Brikha, Isolée, the Ifach Collective and Robert Hood, before Roman Flügel sets a wistful final chord with "Brian Le Bon" and Plaid closing the mix with the crystalline "OI" from their classic album "Not For Threes". Lawrence’s mix literally breathes the serenity of a light-flooded Sunday morning somewhere between a modernist city and a wood glade.
