Oh the mystery of electronic funk!

"Rother first came to my attention by way of Danny Tenaglia's ATHENS double CD, in which Rother's "Red Light District" -- ominous orgasmic house music complete with distorted bass voices -- was featured at the end of the first CD. At full length, in this 9-track CD Rother presents a blend of dark orgasmic funk and light atmospheric ambient. It's strange to hear the two genres linked together in one jam, but no stranger, I suppose, than hearing high-flying Eurodisco voices overlaid on a deep house track by a VERY risk-taking DJ. Rother just might be that kind of DJ; Tenaglia certainly is. (Which is one big reason why I like both him and Rother)"

"anthony rother is not a DJ.. or at least not on record! all of his recordings are his own productions and complex re-workings of other artists' tracks.. also, his songs are NOT remotely near the HOUSE genre... if 'redlight district' even sounded that way in Tenaglia's CD, it is because Tenaglia mixed it to sound that way.this CD is filled with quality electro written and produced by rother himself from start to finish.. it is dark, deep, and filled with that tek-voice sound which serves almost like a tour guide through his slowly developing electro-funk beatscapes."
