Harry Axt - Der Papageientaucher

Review by Tom Roozen

Der Papageientaucher, the latest album by Harry Axt, is a mesmerizing journey through the realms of techno and tech-house. The Berlin-based producer has crafted a collection of tracks that are both intricate and accessible, packed with intricate beats and infectious grooves.

From the opening track, "Der Papageientaucher," Axt sets the tone for the album with an insistent bassline and a series of hypnotic melodies. The following tracks, "Felsenpinguin" and "Klippenkrabbler," continue the momentum with their driving rhythms and intricate percussion.

The album's standout track, "Albatros," is a masterclass in techno production, with its pulsing bassline and soaring synth lines building to a euphoric climax. Other highlights include "Seelöwe" and "Tintenfisch," both of which showcase Axt's ability to create complex, layered tracks that still manage to be dancefloor-friendly.

Der Papageientaucher is a triumph for Harry Axt, showcasing his skills as a producer and his ability to create music that is both intelligent and fun. It's an album that will appeal to fans of techno and tech-house, as well as anyone who appreciates finely crafted electronic music. Highly recommended.
