Stefan Braatz - Outlaw EP

Berlin underground authority Stefan Braatz returns to Nu Groove with a four-track EP showcasing his timeless House sound.

Opening the EP is the eponymous track ''Outlaw'', featuring vocals from Chicago house pioneer Harry Dennis - a contemporary of Ron Hardy, the late Frankie Knuckles and a member of Jungle Wonz alongside Marshall Jefferson. As Braatz's relentless synth energy powers through, Dennis's unmistakeable free flow guides the composition with ease. What follows are three solo tracks that summarise the Berlin expert's opposition to the genre restraints; ''Conversation'' opens a dialogue between synth strings and piano that loops in ecstasy, while ''Dingy Thoughts'' and ''One More Dream'' are darker club cuts that bubble with intensity in the lower registers.
