Marcus Worgull and Danilo Plessow prepare new project Vermont for Kompakt

Hitting the shelves on March 17th, Vermont is the new ambient project from Innervisions' Marcus Worgull and Danilo Plessow of Motor City Drum Ensemble fame. With an artist roster as prolific and well-established as Kompakt's, we are especially happy to not only present Vermont's inaugurating full-length, but also introduce two distinguished producers to the fold that have built their impressive careers in our immediate vicinity, albeit appearing on the label for the very first time: both are floor familiars praised for their gripping club tunes that showcase a surprisingly unwound and novel side to their respective artist personas. Here, we see Marcus and Danilo submit a noticeably mature work that seems to come from a well attuned production duo, effectively concealing the fact that this is their first collaborative effort... and a decidedly informal one at that: these cuts were not conceived with specific aesthetic goals in mind, but emerged from a series of loose jam sessions disclosing the trespassing spirit of the sonic adventurer. It's in the sanctum of Danilo's former Cologne studio, surrounded by an armada of vintage analogue synthesizers, that the two music buffs somewhat inadvertently tapped into the city's collective subconsciousness and minted fourteen sleek soundscapes of almost krautrockish proportions.
