RHYTHMOGENESIS features deep and dubby tech-house from MRI, a German (of course) duo. The Basic Channel influence on this release is undeniable, but so is the groove. Something about those long, drawn out tones on “To Be Honest” is ear-catching, and the robotic number-calling on “Nummern” give it an interesting texture. It’s all very smooth, very soothing, and if anything, that might be a drawback in the end. Perhaps it flows by a little too easily. That said, however, it’s a pleasing album in many ways (the darkness on “Kompression” or the warmth groove of “Out of the Daily Routine”)—that there’s no reason to overlook it.
