You might recognize Berliner Fritz Kalkbrenner from his numerous features on early-aughts Sascha Funke records on BPitch, though many of those were officially uncredited. Kalkbrenner appears to have had a very healthy career since then, though mostly in a more progressive and mainstream vocal house and techno space than I tend to enjoy. Nonetheless, he’s current with a song that steps wholeheartedly into the warmer side of German house traditions, evocative somewhat of an older Henrik Schwartz record. That’s high praise from me.

No bandcamp for this, but you can find it on all the usual streaming outlets. Or if you want to play it out, grab the file on beatport.
