Voices From The Lake CD

Voices From The Lake is the first full-length collaboration between Italian techno producers Donato Dozzy and Neel. The album was recorded last summer in Rome, before being previewed as a live show at a wooded mountainside festival in Japan. This detail is perhaps crucial. Throughout, Voices From The Lake feels surprisingly 'live', given its almost entirely electronic contents. There's a fluidity to the rhythms and a green, organic tinge to the musty, atmospheric sounds that flit between the speakers. It's minimal, yes, but there's a strange warmth to proceedings. It's not cold and icy - an accusation often leveled at atmospheric techno - but rather pleasingly cosy.
