While many techno producers can take months to put out even the most paltry 12” single, one man who’s had no such trouble generating material in the last two years has been producer Stefan Tretau. The German resident consistently released records on renowned labels such as Fortek and Sounderground. But with 2008’s much loved tune “Benin”, Tretau had the right momentum to hit his stride in 2009. Deep tech-house and techno album Bricks Collected Volume 1 capitalized on the enthusiasm surrounding his work and critical attention for a deft minimal touch. Here we have Tretau's second episode in the Bricks Collected Saga. With this top notch album we bring you even more Tretau remixes, tracks and exclusives. This album is a brave leap forward in either his own technique or production in general. Ridding itself of the responsibility of being a genre-bending breakthrough for tech-house, this 13-track, 86-minute album focuses on Tretau's functional dancefloor tracks and deeper techno smashers. This should be more than enough to tide listeners over until his next release and another new step forward.
