Studio Pankow Linienbusse

• Words: Dave Stenton
• Label: City Centre Offices

Studio Pankow marks the return of pioneering UK producers David Moufang and Jamie Hodge, alongside German artist Kai Kroker-the trio takes their name from Kroker‘s Berlin-based studio. Despite visiting the German capital three times to record Linienbusse, the Brits claim to have spent less than one hour in total outside the studio...and it shows. The majority of the dub-oriented tracks here are claustrophobic in the extreme and crackle with an all too rare intensity.
