Bleep

Martin Enke comes through with the first Lake People release of 2019. Once again, In One Place finds Enke blending various house and techno styles together while flushing the mix with evocative synths and wistful textures. Highlights like ‘Captured By The Bars’ and ‘Love Gyration’ recall Steffi and Butch, their chunky tech-house grooves bolstered by off-kilter melodies and dreamy, halcyon-glow production. ‘Trip To Amherst’ also finds Enke tripping down an electro path. Venturing beyond the standout dance tracks he produced on Uncanny Valley, Permanent Vacation and Mule Musiq, Martin Enke — aka Lake People — strikes pure techno gold on emerging label Remote Scope with In One Place. Enke’s runaway success with this release rises from his undeniable gyrator sense and healthy distrust for risk-aversion; ‘Purity’ and ‘Trip To Amherst’ slap, to be sure, and their off-kilter build makes the feat all the more impressive.
