Over the past few years Nina Kraviz has made her presence felt in the deephouse scene with releases on Rekids, Underground Quality and Naif. Herproductions typically take their time winding their way through rhythms andpatterns and are imbued with an immense sense of space. A poundingfoundation of 808s sits ready for her off-kilter vocals and melting pads todo their thing. The tracks that make up her eponymous full length trade offbetween subtle house bangers and out there ambient workouts. There’s acertain attention to detail that one may only find in Berlin, but theemotion is just as palpable. Whether she is spinning hypnotic lyrics aroundlead single “Ghetto Kraviz,” or getting a little closer to classic housewith “Taxi Talk,” you get the feeling that the tracks will prove theirmettle on the dance floor. And there is no doubt that this record is goingto be played till the needle falls off. Recommended.
