You really have no excuse.
Lorenz Rhode makes no excuses and wrangles the FUNK out of that pitch wheel. This track gets real goooood around 1:45 with the synth guitar and just doesn’t stop. Watch the breakdown at 2:48 for some completely ridiculous keys and yes, that bassline is oh so necessary. WWWOOORRRRK IT.

Lorenz Rhode – Like a Player
Unfortunately, I don’t hear any actual Rhodes action in this track.
This second track I had to include because:
1. it’s a pretty big departure from his other stuff
2. it’s awesome
3. best track title of the month, possibly year.
It’s pretty minimal, but in all the right places. Not some fucking avant-minimal techno bullshit that has a barely detectable melody.

Lorenz Rhode – Telephone Helicopter Applause Gunshot
ALSO, be sure to cop his Motor Cortex EP which came out last year. It’s a necessary addition to everyone’s library.
ps: I’ve been facebooking, twittering, and tumbling a lot lately. xo <3

“avant-minimal techno bullshit”, you say? don’t try and convince me that Renaissance Man doesn’t shake your cheeks.
grizzlygrizz: you are absolutely correct, i won’t try and convince you because renaissance man is the shit. (fruit loop is my jaammmm)
but tell me this: have you seriously listened to some of this crap people are calling minimal? way too minimal anyone’s good. –a sad excuse for the lack of talent.
