Gerd – Frame Shift [FOM020]

Gerd returns to his own Frame Of Mind imprint with another fine selection of tracks. The breakbeat-driven groove of “Brave New Era” aside, all tracks offer different perspectives on early Motor City techno and house. Gerd is showcasing his love for metallic FM-synthesis driven sounds once again. Deep, moody and uplifting.

Gerd – Kosmos Tour [FOM015]

Frame Of Mind present the latest from Dutch producer Gerd. The EP it’s launches with the metallic drum chatter, analogue aesthetics and cosmic house bump of ‘Kosmos Tour’ before exploring lovely lazy deep house on ‘Red Girl’, dancefloor darkness on ‘Videophonic’ old school Virgo-esque Chicago sounds on ‘Fractalz’. Beautiful early Detroit-inspired House and Techno tracks. Yet another timeless EP from this master.

It’s Thinking – Afterglow [FOM002]

Frame Of Mind is back with another re-issue of a 25 year old record. Gerd’s very first house release called Afterglow, produced under the alias of It’s Thinking together with two of his (highschool) friends Mark and Dirk-Jan, was picked up by John Acquaviva for release on the short lived Plus 8 subsidiary called Malego back in 1992. The EP features five warm and atmospheric house tracks recorded at a dark attic room somewhere in the west of Holland in 1991. These days Afterglow is quite a sought after record that rarely turns up cheap on discogs.
