Georg Levin – Everything Must Change [BBE Records]

8 years after his first vinyl release, Georg Levin can already be described as a long-time yet unlikely member of Berlin’s electronic music scene. With both his solo project and his production outfit Wahoo, he is definitely too much on the soulful side to be a typical representative of the techno and rock sound the city is known for. However, it may be this supposedly alien surrounding that gives his compositions and productions a distinctive blend. To his credit Georg also had a no.1 on Traxsource in late 2009 as a precursor to the release of this, his debut album.

Georg’s name isn’t household by any means, but this poetic master of music is quickly, and firmly, finding his spot in the today’s music scene, where one rarely only wears one hat. This singer, songwriter, producer has been busy in the studio, and his fruits are finally here to enjoy by all.  Well, almost all, the album lands in stores in late March 2010, but till then, you can enjoy my review and the highlight samples I’ve included.

Read on past the break for my full review of this genre melting album, and be sure to sample the tracks for yourself, don’t just take my word for it!
