We couldn\u2019t be any more delighted about \u201eSkyrunner\u201c, the debut album by Max Jahn. Why? Because it actually isn\u2019t a debut in the stricter sense: Max, in fact, is one of our longtime Broque-companions who has released under his Maxx Cavalerra-moniker since the end of the 90s, on Broque as well as labels such as Karmarouge. After a decade of high productivity, a few years ago Max felt that it\u2019s time to pull the plug. The reasons were plenty: on the one hand, there\u2019s been a general feeling of being overwhelmed by mediocre music, releases and DJ\u2019s, on the other hand, there\u2019s been a crucial change in his personal life, that is, the birth of his daughter. That all led to a deliberately chosen break, which gave him time to reflect and to gather new strength as well as formulate new ambitions. Under his real name Max Jahn, he started again to release electrifying techno tracks which appeal to both your emotions and your body. Skyrunner\u2019s ten new tracks explore a newly discovered pleasure in club music, working their charms on the dancefloor with percussive rhythms and at the same time, take you on a ride with atmospheric vibes and a touch of melancholic romanticism. This comes together particularly nicely in three of the center pieces of the album, namely \u201cHappy Little Droid\u201d, \u201cMelotronic\u201d and \u201cBasics in Blue\u201d, which will embrace you with their pulsating mixture of dub, techno, melodies and a healthy dose of pathos. \u201cBells of Life\u201d, on the other hand, takes a step back and even brings back fond memories of the great Boards Of Canada, while tracks like \u201cIntergalactic Wildfire\u201d, \u201cSweat Tool\u201d or \u201cMajor Rumble\u201d do exactly what they promise, that is, they are mercilessly heating up the dancefloor. \u201cSkyrunner\u201d is an album which sounds both like a start of something new as well as a beloved story of the past, more precisely, of 20 years of club music.<\/p>\n
