After a visit to Rainer Trüby's fabled dancefloor jazz night of the same name, Richard Dorfmeister's other half was moved to document the experience in musical form – and what a job he did. Rootdown is the first piece ever recorded by Peter Kruder under his own name and will be coming out on a limited one-sided pressing in late May but, facts and figures aside, it's the music that matters. Bounding along at house tempo, this track is full of dense percussion and subtle melody offset by a deep, dark atmosphere reminiscent of seedy basement clubs and a few too many tequilas. Halfway in, woozily shuffling rhythms complement filthy, rumbling bass tones along broadly Latin lines, building up to a mood that falls somewhere between scary, sexy and sassy but always danceable and idiosyncratic.
