Hailing from Landshut in Southern Germany, Christopher Rau moved to Hamburg some time ago, since it seemed the perfect city for the young producer's enigmatic deep house sound. Releasing his music on the esteemed Smallville label, also as part of collaboration project Bon & Rau, he has further founded the highly promising Dérive imprint.

Christopher Rau, Isolée, H.O.S.H.
Germany's harbour city has long been famous as a hotbed for hip-hop as well as for its 'Hamburg school' of German indie rock. For the past decade however the city has become synonymous with quite a different sound: That of cutting edge house music, from the more...

Originally hailing from the southern parts of Germany, it is no wonder that Christopher Rau has chosen Hamburg as his city of residence. His deep and fragile productions are a perfect fit with the style commonly identified as the house music sound of Germany's harbour city and championed by labels such as Dial or Smallville.
It is the latter that has picked up Christopher Rau's debut album, 'Asper Clouds', after releasing the young producer's previous collaborations with Jaques Bon, 'Cloverleaf Days,' and with Smallville's own Smallpeople group on the recent 'Meadows EP'.
Not unlike John Roberts on his recent album debut for Dial, Christopher Rau bases 'Asper Clouds' on samples of piano loops and jazz brass, around which he constructs his introspective and highly personal house music tracks.
From the playfully bleepy 'Ping To You', the slightly tongue-in-cheek cool jazz tribute 'The Cool World', to the melancholic minimal swing of the album's closing track, 'Talk', 'Asper Clouds' is a truly accomplished album from a producer we're eager to hear more of.
