201

as a mark of dedication to his home city, tur has named his first full-length '0201', which is the area code of essen. those expecting a collection of dance floor-geared house tracks akin to his recent solo singles may be surprised to know that tur has produced the album with home-listening in mind, with downtempo and abstract cuts sitting alongside broken beat-infused deep house and filtered french disco. speaking about the album, tur states that it was "made up from samples that i've been collecting for almost 10 years now and that i've put together like a jigsaw or 'patchwork,' as is the title of the first track." there are even a smattering of vocals spread throughout, with alexander east lending his soulful voice to forthcoming single 'will be mine,' and shaboom boss mark 'blakkat' bell (whom tur cites as one of his major influences) taking mic duties on golden complexion.'
