SPIRIT ZONE RECORDINGS proudly presents the second solo album by one of Germany's leading digital composers. The artist behind this project is none less than MICHAEL KOHLBECKER who himself is a leading figure in the German electronic music movement. With many chart ranking remixes to his credit (ie. Bob Marley, Anne Clark, Jam & Spoon), MICHAEL KOHLBECKER is with certainty the most versatile producers to have come out of Frankfurt. "NO PROMISES" is a comprehensive array of modern trance techno in FUENF D style delivered with the "Special K" note. This album consists of self explanatory sound in which MICHAEL KOHLBECKER's musical genious transports the listener through its stereoscopic dimensions, crossing the divide somewhere between underground classics and chart ranking status quo. Up for starters are some effortless groovy twists and turns ("It's Five D-B"). Spanking techno beats and clubby kicks ("Its hot") cross over into eastern sun shine trance. One of the highlights is the uplifting "Waporuppet" fusing old school trance sounds and and chosen ETERNAL BASEMENT elements into solid technogenic dancefloor chemistry. Smoothing the album in and out are 3 relaxing ambient to downbeat tracks, conveying MICHAEL KOHLBECKER's musical talent and compositional expertise. The album "NO PROMISES" entails a crisp selection of FUENF D's best tracks to date. Its an entire musical showcase expressing the artists clear musical direction and scene-defining production practices
