Synopsis

Album Description

Berlin based producer and DJ Thomas Schumacher has a special position in the German music scene. In a career spanning over 20 years, he has managed to avoid being pigeonholed into one musical genre. After a classic 80s musical education (Electro, Funk, Rap, New Wave), he soon found himself a part of the first wave of techno. In 1998 he created the label Spielzeug Schallplatten, which has progressed alongside him and his CD mix series Perlen; now reaching its fifth chapter. Having honed his style playing clubs and festivals all over the world for so many years, Thomas' mixing style is charged, sincere and consistent. The tracklisting of Perlen 5 reads like a "Who's Who" of today's hottest producers: Audion aka Matthew Dear, M.A.N.D.Y., Booka Shade, Audiofly, The Knife and Axel Bartsch to name a few. Let us also not forget Herr Schumacher himself who brings forth fresh sounds and a visionary approach.

CD Reviews

I'm blown away by this techno shocker!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Unfortunately for US fans, to this day, the stunning, continuously mixed artist album by Thomas Schumacher titled Home is not available here on Amazon. It was released over a year ago in June of 2006 Schumacher's own Spiel-Zeug Schallplatten label out of Germany. It's a sin that it's not out over here, as it's one of the all time best techno artist albums. Fortunately his new mix CD has made it to these shores, in the 5th installment of this series. You do get two tracks from Home, but I highly suggest seeking out the entire album. Now, onto this mix review:

I felt sort of like a contestant on Name That Tune, because after only 5 notes of the first track, I new instantly that this was going to be one hot mix. Nothing really prepared me for the shock of track 3, however, when I was dumbfounded by what I heard on Thomas's new track Rising. A mindbending bassline came out of nowhere, and at such a slow pace, it seemed like forever for the next wave to hit, which left me thinking what the hell was that I just heard come through the speaker? The drawn out bassline in this track is nothing short of genius, and just another high quality track to add to his repertoire.

It's all high energy techno through the first part of the mix, and only slows down slightly in the middle, before swooshing through the latter half with Schumacher's electro-fied techno courtesy of his own stuff, along with tracks from his group Elektrochemie, and fellow collaborator Stephan Bodzin.

This is a deliciously innovative mix from Schumacher, proving that there's still lots of surprises and new twists to be had in the techno genre. A very high energy pace, not unlike his artist album I mentioned earlier. Easily, one of the best techno mixes of the year and not to be missed."
