Lawrence: Jill EP

Minimalism always edges a little too close to self-parody when it becomes too austere and technology-obsessed. Think of the New Media prof with the shaved head and really expensive square frames or one of those lame nine million dollar LED watches that look like something Tom Cruise would wear in Minority Report, and you’ll get the drift.

Luckily, German Deep House producer Lawrence does minimalism right. His tracks are sparse, yes, but they are also deep, soulful and warm. His latest EP for Dial Records, entitled “Jill”, keeps threatening to stay on my turntable until I wear it out to the bone. Thank God for digital media.
