reviews:
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
The knarz title track should be neatly chopping the dancefloor. Very nice — Raveline

musik:
Holz is German for wood. Holz manufactures sequence techno and
fine electronica since 2003. It was raw at first, then came warmth
and organic nature. While the sound may seem harsh, it doesn't mean
agressiveness, but the spectacle of craftsmanship and environment.
Maximum pleasure without chrome. Holz is much about steadiness,
though. It doesn't break without interesting damage.
