Heinrich Dressel - Drowned At 77th Floor (2022)

The second release on Dungeon Module is ‘Drowned At 77th Floor’ by Heinrich Dressel. A pseudonym of Valerio Lombardozzi, who over the years has released on labels such as Strange Life, Mannequin, Frustrated Funk as well as his own MinimalRome. On ‘Drowned At 77th Floor’ we find him in classic style, mixing exploitation movie soundtracks with techno and electro. There is a strong feeling of narrative that runs throughout the album, a soundtrack to some Ballardian high rise nightmare, or mysterious drownings in a newly built tower block on recently reclaimed swampland. There is an emotion in Valerio’s music that sets him apart from many other producers in the scene. The opener ‘Death Willow’ acts like the main theme, before the ‘Reemerged From The Swamp’ sets up the story. Available on 100 cassettes and digital.
