Markus Guentner continues his explorations of poppier tech-house sounds on his latest album 'Lovely Society', released this month on Mathias Schaffhäuser’s Ware label.
Hailing from the Bavarian province capital, Regensburg (also the title of one of his acclaimed EPs on Kompakt), Markus Guentner is perhaps best known as a producer of shimmering ambient tracks. His 2001 debut album “In Moll” is undoubtedly one of the finest full-lengths Kompakt has released and helped to draw up the blueprint for the label’s distinctive ambient sound.
On his new album 'Lovely Society', his fourth full-length (and second for the Ware label), Guentner continues his tech-house explorations, with just a dash of his trademark ambient textures thrown in, and comes up with a fine album indeed. The album will be released on both vinyl and CD with the vinyl package including two additional dancefloor-friendly tracks: 'Realize' and the Ziggy Kinder remix of 'Brickbuilder'.
