  • Martin Stimming will release his debut full-length on the Diynamic label later this year. The Hamburg producer had a big 2008 with tracks on Buzzin' Fly, liebe*detail and Freerange, but he's set to return to his original home of Diynamic for the album, entitled Reflections. All of the eleven tracks featured are unreleased, so long-time fans will be able to enjoy the album as a discrete object without any prior connection to the tunes. Like much of his previous work, the album is full of field recordings that complement the colourful boompty grooves, but there are still quite a few shocks in store: On "The Loneliness" for example, Stimming indulges his passion for live instrumentation yet again as a harmonica makes an appearance to accompany a Tom Waits-esque vocal. Each and every track has a respective story behind it, which Stimming used to inspire the final music. With titles like "The Kiss" and "Song for Isabelle," you can guess that there's going to be a fair amount of techno-emoting on Reflections. Tracklist 01. Sunday Morning 02. After Eight 03. Song for Isabelle 04. Fruits of Life 05. Silver Surfer 06. One Weekend 07. The Loneliness 08. Tel Aviv Calling 09. The Beauty 10. Sleep On 11. The Kiss Diynamic will release Reflections on March 16, 2009.
