Shed - Shedding The Past (2008)

Looking for more Berlin (or US versions of...), dubby techno sounds, I stumbled upon Shed's 2008 album, Shedding The Past. It is true techno music. Apparently, Shed was originally an East German product of 90s techno culture after the Wall came down. although it wasn't until 2008 that he put out this debut album.

For me, It still sounds fresh three years later. More lively than his more repetitive Berlin counterparts, Shed's beats manage to be funky within a strict 4 to the floor framework.

Lots of good racks on this album, but my favourite is the intriguingly titled 'Estrange'.

Interesting fact...Rod Modell ceremoniously gave up the master cut of this album "to the murky depths of an Amsterdam canal as an act of gratitude to the city@ - for inspiring this music. Here is the video of this unusual and beautiful act...
