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.

The Compilation Laid Compilation
was reviewed:
Dial sub-label Laid was always touted as a vinyl-only label, a perfect special outlet to Hamburg's house connoisseurs. Complementing Dial's steady growth since 2000, the formerly exclusive Laid imprint makes a leap into the digital and gives some killer tracks greater accessibility with this release.With Chicago's Rick Wade's 'Intelligence' maxi the first release in 2009, from which the epic 'Ricky's Groove' features here on the compilation, Laid made its mark for showcasing the strong US-house traditions amongst the artists, regardless of their geographical origins.
Pushing the rougher side are tracks like Black Jazz Consortium's 'Applied Vibes', Kassem Mosse bringing his usual raw edge and Marcello Napoletano's psychedelic touch, the smooth and deep is expertly catered for by Lawrence, John Roberts and Christopher Rau and lush jacking grooves are generously rolled out by RNDM and Smallpeople.
A stunning compilation which shows an admirable unity, despite the diversity of the artists it covers. Deep and soulful techno-house, which holds tradition as close to its core as it does a forward-thinking attitude.
