Man muss einen Schritt zurücktreten, um erkennen zu können, worum es geht. Skugge arbeitet nach dem Motto: weniger ist mehr « Loop [D] ---------- » Auf insgesamt 10 Tracks liefert er ganz frischen Tech_house Stuff, der enorm clubtauglich ist. « Raveline [D] ---------- » Vor allem die Vocaltracks des jungen Schweden zeugen dabei von einer Intensität, die zeigt, dass ein klassisches Songwriterherz durchaus elektronisch schlagen kann « Stadtmagazin [D] ---------- » Manchmal blitzt es zwischen den High Tech Beats auf wie ein Zitat, etwa, wenn in einem Break allein ein ungreifbarer Bass herumwabert und sich im Hall verliert « Arno Raffeiner, Intro [D] ---------- » ..verführerische Grooves.. « Daniel Straub, laut.de [D] ---------- » CD-Tip « Berliner Morgenpost [D] ---------- » Es gibt ein Leben nach Luomo und Clicks & Cuts! « CJ, De:Bug [D] ---------- » „Volume“ ist trocken und sonnig, doch weit entfernt von der schroffen Minimal-Techno-Ästhetik. Und gerade dadurch so herrlich « Tonspion [D] ---------- » ..elegant and meticulously constructed dance music forays. « Ron Schepper, Textura [CA] ---------- » ..echoes with the ghosts of Disco.. « Music For Robots [US] ---------- » ..this album has a very advisable and attractive formula.. « Guillermo Escudero, LOOP [CL] ---------- » Review in Polish « Pawel Gzyl, Gaz-Eta [PL] ---------- » no 1, Headspace Ten 01/24/05 « Headspace/ KXLU 88.9 FM, Los Angeles [US] ---------- » ..Basic Channel-style techno fans and house music heads alike will take pleasure in this first surprisingly sharp release of 2005. « Gary Suarez, Brainwashed [US] ---------- »ett av årets finaste svenska släpp« 4/5 - Stefan Thungren, Svenska Dagbladet [SE] ---------- »Volume är dansmusik 2004 när den är som bäst« 8/10 - Billy Rimgard, The Cricket [SE] ---------- »Så jäkla bra« 7/10 - Ola Andersson, Dagens Skiva [SE] ---------- »Utan överdrift skulle jag vilja påstå att ‘Volume’ nog är bland det mest intressanta, om inte det bästa, denna genre frambringat« 8/10 - Martin Engström, Metica [SE] Resources ---------- Metica [SE] Interview in swedish Groove [SE] Interview in swedish ---------- check out our new Johan Skugge feat.
