It’s hard to believe, but Toinen is only the second full-length album by Berlin-by-way-of-Finland producer Sasse. Yet there is no sophomore slump to be found here, as Toinen is loaded with expertly produced house and techno sounds. Drifting away from his earlier flirtations with Italo- and space disco, Toinen is a controlled effort with a stronger eye toward the precision of Detroit techno. The veteran producer never lends the impression that anything is in danger of going off the rails, as even club tracks like “Clemens” and “Friday Sessionz” are tempered by a strong sense of order, not to mention bursts of white noise and tightly wound Kraftwerk-style synths.
