reviews:
Music that sounds as if a few fruit machines had waved their chip
shop goodbye and founded a band. — Crauss/Kritische Ausgabe
Maybe there is a worldwide circle of young people who distinguish
e.g. by a faible for left-hand side parts, short sleeve check shirts by
Gaultier and enervating loops of West European mini labels — Gabor Baksay/MOVIEbeta
Insects glow up when they get in contact with the metal of the
winding equipment — Florian Grünert/Benzol
From sexy shuffle to hypnotic groove — Jerry Bouthier/M8 Magazine

musik:
Holz is German for wood. Holz manufactures sequence techno and
fine electronica since 2003, raw & organic. Often harsh but never
harmful, the intention is chromeless pleasure. Holz is much about
steadiness, though. It doesn't break without interesting damage.

Renniac makes field recordings and related tones about themes that
should be cared of. Global industries, reasons and causes, early
morning torquise.
