Christian Prommer - Rhythmique Nocturne

Producer, drummer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist Christian Prommer, best known for his work with Trüby Trio, Fauna Flash, Drumlesson, Voom:Voom (with Peter Kruder), Prommer & Barck (with Alex Barck) and as the producer of DJ Hell’s ‘Teufelswerk’, presents his new album, ‘Rhythmic Nocturne’, spanning spiritual deep house, jazz, balearic trip-hop and hypnotic rhythm explorations. A must for fans of St. Germain, Floating Points and refined grooves of all speeds.

This album distils ten years of Berlin into a twilight drift between order and abandon. Daytime studio sketches are pulled apart at night, reshaped by shifting perspectives
that swing between jazz harmony, textural experimentation and the heavy gravity of techno basslines and analogue drums.

Intimately close-microphoned piano, drums, percussion, cello and strings are constantly recontextualized - dropped into new rooms, resonances and imagined spaces - so their meaning keeps mutating. Room noise, human breath and accidental sounds are folded into the pulse, turning spill and imperfection into rhythm. Even a piano lid thudding shut on ‘Dark Matter’ is claimed as part of the beat, underscoring an album that embraces freedom, spontaneity and the beautiful lack of accountability that defines this city at night.

Christian Prommer continues to travel and to challenge the space between jazz, soul and electronic music, expanding a genre-bending practice where DJ culture fuses with jazz
vocabulary and where the supposed distance between a jazz club and a warehouse party is revealed as an illusion. 

2LP pressed onto Splatter vinyl with Silver Particles print and digital download card included.
