substance - mixmag 05.12.02

following up from his mix Cd on the same label, tristan is back with a collection of his own studio creations. the sound is bold, clean and punchy, with a pleasing spectrum of tempos, ranging from the 'fleetwood mac-esque' 'sapphire eyes' to the fast and furious techno trance of 'fantasy eyeland'. 'dirty licker' is a tribute to filthy house, while 'brazilia psychedelia' is a 'rio carnival meets the muppet show' (in a good way!). these quirky diversions keep you guessing a bit, and nicely break up the prevailing vibe of solid, thumping dance floor ammunition.
