Reboot

Reboot, aka Frank Heinrich, the 30-year-old Frankfurt musician takes a dramatic step forward as Reboot, an alias dedicated to grooves both darkly emphatic and dazzlingly polyrhythmic. Launched only a year ago, Heinrich's Reboot project is so far responsible for the well-received ''Charlotte'' for Frankfurt's Below label as well as a recent remix for Greek duo Lemos & Kreon, on Be-Chosen. Where ''Charlotte'' was suffused with sweetness and light and tentative time-keeping, Reboot's debut EP for Cadenza Records is considerably darker.
