Fresh from his much lauded co-productions on DJ Hells ubiquitiously receieved Teufleswerk album our protaganists follows in the footsteps of Peter Kruder before him and delivers a stunning 12 for Gigolo records.
Like its name sake suggests Hot Chocalate in the Milky Way is a journey through a melodic sound scape of beats and open chords recalling the work of John Carpanter, the inspiration to Rothers formative work.
