Musicwise Theodor now settled in the deeper end of Techno & House minimalism, where harmony, texture and propulsive rhythms are the most important ingredients. Therefore the "Pastels 1-4" EP on Thinner is a prime example of a unique and modern approach to Minimalism, with new techniques and a very clean sound. Theodor manages to spice up his Minimal House outlets with sharp and concrete hisses, pops and bypassing pads. Zox effects a feeling that every oh-so-little sound is truly defined.
The four track EP starts with "Oker Motion", synth pads dripping from the ceiling that get framed in by unordinary basslines and tactical beat programming. "B.Script" is a dry and clean rocker - edited on every end with funky basslines and groovey stabs. A groover that makes your feet tap immediately. Zox doesn't need a delay hideout and also doesn't deorientate in wide hallrooms. His sound is very concentrated and can be fairly easy described being clever. "Deep Fog" is even more full with dry scatterplots and waving basslines. Smooth pads float by like clouds in the background. The fourth cut "Dawn In Blue" reflects Theodor's ambient origins with skillful floating pads. The glassy bassline and very versatile playful elements make this song a secure hit for warmer days.
Theodor Zox has releases upcoming on various other established labels, so you should take notice of him again shotly.

Die Netlabels reichen sich nach der Theorie des rationalen Handels die Künsler von Release zu Release. Das Ergebnis ist auch ein Gewinn für alle: Wir bekommen mehr Musik, Künstler mehr Support und die Labels Einflüsse, die vorantreiben. Mit dem neuen Release auf Thinner ist das auch so: Thedor Zox passt zwar in das Thinnerportfolio und setzt eine feine Note, die nicht ganz so trocken ist, wie sein Release auf Textone. Pastell trifft aber leider den Sound nicht richtig. Tiefer Techhouse, der ein bischen angewärmt, minimal rockt. Kleine Hände klatschen den Rhythmus zu sehr einfach gehaltenen Bassläufen. Die Räume unterscheiden sich von der Thinner Definition of Dub durch fast vollkommene Abwesenheit der Delays und riesiger Reverbplatten. Vordergründigster Release seit langem.
