_ I don't prescribe any longing. Which does not mean that there is no longing to find in my music. But please find it yourself _ Uniquely effective and contrary, the music of Lump200 has a way of going absolutely nowhere in a way that still keeps you involved, bearing repeated listening. It willfully fucks around with dancefloor music formats and sound snippets from all styles, letting the machines do the talking. And boy, do they blabber off. Lump200 feeds them with samples, filtering the world of sound through his thirtysomething (y)ears that include training in multiple instruments and a solid new jazz background, composing and performing with writers for stage plays and radio work. Not exactly your average teen-age raver. If the result sounds close to what you hear on minimal house and experimental labels such as Perlon and Areal, all the better. It's just the way some fine music makers and their tools are sounding today in Germany and Switzerland. However, Lump200 's directionless universe leads you back to yourself : make your own path, choose your own grooves. It takes a high level of musicianship and a strong sense of detachment to achieve this, because it's so tempting to use the tools just to make the aforementioned raver lose his nuts. _ A sound ranging between house and broken beats, vocal and instrumental. Funk. To flow and to stumble _. René Desalmand provides us with a useful description of his output, with Mental Groove Records boss Oliver adding countless details such as bassy , psychedelic , crispy , fragile , fresh , microfunk , dirty and jazzy . This writer would also say things like glitchy , dubby and even motorik _ which is so 2003 (not to mention 1971). So here's a full album of all that and much, much more. For some reason Lump200 is often charted by female DJs, which is a hell of a compliment indicating both a refined sensibility and dancefloor potential : ladies always dance first. So thank you Indigo, Magda, Mo, Sylvie, Sonja, Cio _ and Luke Slater for using no less than two (!) Lump200 tunes on his Fear & Loathing 2 mix compilation.
