New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Rooted in classic House and Techno, Amsterdam-based Brazilian producer 2Mau brings „Proost' to you, a Kraftwerkesque ode to the transference of spirit from the body to the machine, a musical expression of technological spirituality. The tracks on „Proost' sound like technology, and not technology that sounds like music, as we so often come across in this genre. Well done! With 2Mau techno is in good hands.
Born and bred in Brazil 2MAU is strongly influenced by the exotic tunes of South America as well as the clean progressive psytrance which he smoothly combines with more upbeat influences from the eighties. (Don’t be surprised to find a little Donna Summer in his tunes.)
Intense and intuitive; this describes Proost - his debut album - in nutshell. 2MAU managed to create his own eccentric and totally unique world, inspired by the Netherlands, where he currently works and lives.
He lets his audience drift away in a world where it’s all about enjoying life and not taking life too seriously.
Therefore most tracks are positive and fun in their complex mixture of unique sounds and effects. All created and designed by 2MAU himself.
Tracks like Mother Flower (a word which 2MAU often uses jokingly instead of motherfucker) and Grapje, make the audience drift away in a world of craziness and 80’s synthesized beats.
The album is interspersed with 8 minutes of dirty bass lines with the dark low fi in the track named Digital Eighties.
With a total of nine tracks, Proost ends with Amsterdam Bourbon Rules; a crazy, complex and profound ending inspired by the intense strangeness that can unfold itself during the nightly hours in Amsterdam. With Proost it’s not hard to create this unique atmosphere.
