Tilman - Tales and Reactions (2019)

Fine are very pleased to present Tales And Reactions, the inaugural long player on the imprint by label co-owner Tilman. Alongside his partner Johannes Albert, the guys have put together an impressive string of releases so far on Fine, focussing on their own material. But this sees them moving into the extended format for the first time and with magnificent results.

Tilman has a long track record of putting out deep, excellently produced house music, but on Tales And Reactions he really comes into his own. The album is all about mood and feel, and each track is set up with a rich mix of samples and loose drum grooves to create warm and hazy vibes. The focus is on deep and spacious house cuts, weaving lazy pianos and half heard vocals. There are, however, plenty of dancefloor moments on the LP, with the chunky rhythms and disco strings of “Broken Dreams” or the filtered funk of “Chasing Rainbows”. The result is an album that takes you on a journey through different shades of house music, from a superb producer.
