Album review: Tiefschwarz – ‘Chocolate’ (Souvenir)

Vorsprung durch musik

A German duo whose third album is also their first for five years, [a]Tiefschwarz[/a]’s reputation as the discerning modernist house buff’s choice is reflected in their own, very particular, approach to their craft. ‘Chocolate’ is sleek and gleaming enough to invite overused analogies about Teutonic precision engineering and suchlike – not quite minimal, not quite deep house, but possessing a similar ability to spin hypnotic gold from deceptively simple electronics. Rarely if ever do they turn away from the dancefloor, either – a refreshing change to the screeds of bloated ‘artist albums’ the world has suffered through in the name of dance music auteurs.
