Staffan Linzatti - The Rationale (2021)

Linzatti follows his 2017 debut album, The Dynamic Dispatch, with this collection of dynamic club tracks. The moody, understated tones and pulses of "A Rush Of Reason" provide a hypnotic introduction, while on "Revolving Worlds" and "Not Alone", steely percussion and angular rhythms prevail. Linzatti's production approach is measured throughout his second artist album - and is best exemplified by the rolling, throbbing groove of "The Simplifying Man" and the layered tribal tech of "The Fly". That said, he also knows how to craft peak-time bangers as the tough drums of "Seconds" and the visceral kicks and eerie bleeps of "A Ripple In Time" so effortlessly demonstrate.
