Hendrik Weber, the acclaimed German producer of minimal techno, expanded his affinity with shoegaze towards the most challenging corners of today’s dream-pop under his Pantha Du Prince moniker and offered one of the most accomplished crossover records of the year; one that has made his audience notoriously grow. Panda Bear brought his psychedelic loops to ‘Stick To My Side’ and in ‘Im Bann’ he reached a moment of uniquely hypnotic beauty; to mention just two of the album’s many standout moments.
