Ginger

Speedy J gives Rotterdam techno a soft center on Ginger. Harder rhythmic surfaces sit beside warm melody and headphone detail without either side taking over, so the record can move a room while still rewarding attention to its smaller turns. Louder records took the attention on either side of it; the Artificial Intelligence series produced nothing warmer.

Rotterdam bluntness with an unusually light touch. Sits between the armchair and the floor and refuses to choose.
