Matt Gatt (): “Drunken Divine is a great piece of work. Demonstrates the brilliance of Lucidfow as a whole in how they bring the swing within a genre which can be generally conformed to productions which are too calculated and constrained. This track is deep and low slung. Perfect warm up material Deep Invitation using its off kilter percussive arrangement and melancholic chords provides a great ride throughout. Structure is fantastic,creating passages where you can mix and layer effortlessly which is essential quality I look for in all productions Paul Lorraine showcases an absolute corker of a remix. Low slung locked grooves marinated in bubbling fx and bass stabbs. Paul has been a great signing to the Lucidflow stable, and he certainly demonstrates why here Nadja’s remix definitely focuses on the marriage between dark and light passage of sounds. Crazy dark bongo styled rhythms begin this journey until the breakdown which opens up to blissful tones and great spoken word samples and carries on throughout the whole track CDT’s take on drunken divine would have to be the most stripped back affair out of the lot at first. Then out of nowhere he creates a broken beat masterpiece with juggling drum patterns and swirling melodies. Great work here. I think they are all equally great productions, but if I had to pick one track that would have to be Drunken Divine. Thanks again Lucidflow for consistently providing great music time and time again cheers Matt ” (will chart)

Whilst we usually find him releasing on Lucidflow as one of half of Klartraum, alongside fellow label head Nadja Lind, today Helmut Ebritsch takes centre stage himself, flying solo with his “Drunken Divine” Ep. Having produced electronic music since the mid ’90’s, Helmut has moved from one genre to another with an enviable ease, always keeping an air of elegant deepness to his music. Under his Hatikvah moniker, alongside Florian Schirmacher, he has released music with Morris Audio, Suol and at the back of end 2010, a debut artist album “Synchronicity” on Soma Recordings. Helmut’s “Drunken Divine” Ep is yet another example of the Lucidflow chief’s innate skill for creating beautifully melodic and impressively structured productions. The title track, built upon the weightiest of basslines, broken drum pattern and deeply penetrating synth stabs is impressive to say the least. “Deep Invitation” opens with a pounding kick drum, the backbone of the track. Throbbing synth chords are playfully teased by a rhodes melody and an elongated percussive break adds to the power of the track. “Deep Invitation” is the cut that finds itself at the mercy of the remixers and Lucidflow invite three to give present their vision. CDT are, at their own behest, illusive in character. Their remix adds, as if it were possible, an extra layer of bass and beats. New Lucidflow signing and Barcelona resident Paul Loraine injects some glitchy-edged house feeling, whilst Nadja Lind brings her bongos and creates a somewhat cinematic feel on her rework.
