Christopher Ledger - Access Denied EP

Format : LP

Label : Another Place

Catalog # : ANP003

Genre : House Techno

Following in the sublime wake of releases from Ronan and Ocean Stirs, Christopher Ledger is the latest to make Another Place his home.

Splitting time between Berlin and Rome, ‘Access Denied’ is the latest addition to a back catalogue paying no mind to shifting trends. Timeless, ultra-refined deepness flush with wide-eyed wonder and positively utopian NRG.

We’re effortlessly transcending genre boundaries, and where ‘Access Denied’ is built in the model of classic UK bleep & bass, ‘Nala’s Groove’ leans into widescreen house dramatixxx. Then, all dappled euphoria and boundless warmth, ‘From Above’ comes thru with the rolling, half-time breaks.

Bit of a departure on the flip-side as ‘Enigma’s ruffneck rave revivalism recalls Crème Organization’s anonymous R-Zone series or Klasse Wrecks founder Luca Lozano at his finest. That said, it still retains the same sense of expansive, heady exploration, as is the case with both tunneling, fractal torque of closing number ‘File Inspectors’.

Last up, and more sofa-bound than its predecessors, digital bonus ‘A Sweet Memory of Nothingness’ ends proceedings with some sweeping IDM pointillism.

Three AP releases deep and it seems we might have entered a prolific period for purveyors of crystalline, exploratory dance music.
