During his 25-year career, the experimental drummer has collaborated with the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Laurie Anderson and Oren Ambarchi, and only now finds himself in the driving seat with his debut record, MUSIC FOR LOVERS.
Naturally featuring a wide range of percussive instruments, alongside synths, keyboards and sound effects, the album is a playful mix of jazz ambience and electronics, which pays homage to the minimal techno scene that helped forge Berlin’s club community. Deep, reflective, and equally mesmerising, Rohrer’s debut shares some similarities with Nils Frahm’s work but is still unique.
It’s a jazz jamboree of moods, feelings and textures made for (music) lovers by a man who loves music. Roher’s debut is a spectacle and true blessing to the city’s scene. ★★★★★
