He’s really getting comfortable on the road to success, considering that 2013 was quite a successful year for the Italian musician Donato Dozzy. As a DJ and a performer, he got more and more popular and his interpretation of Bee Mask’s »Vaporware« excited both fans and critics. Then he came back into the spot light with Voices From The Lake, a project together with Neel, making this year start out with a fantastic EP. In the meantime, Dozzy started digging up his old collab-work together with Nuel (no typo – Neel and Nuel are different people). Teamed up with Tin Man, he then provided one of the strongest pieces for the »Acid Test«-series on Absurd Recordings, while debuting with rumbly techno on Stroboscopic Artefacts. And as if that wasn’t enough, Further Records decided to re-release »K«, the actual debut of the Rome-born musician. About time, really, considering that the prices for the long-out-of-stock-record have been going through the roof in the last four years. One of the reasons was the strict limitation of the record release, but then again the album is just plain awesome, really: There are seven tracks with more than 50 minutes of playing time, on which Dozzy makes every single facet of the genre shine, the renaissance of which he helped initiate with Voices From The Lake. »K« is an exemplary etude of dub-techno, but it even reaches far beyond. Because it’s crisper, more rhythmic, more playful and headed towards the future; it opens up to a variety of stylistic experiments and has clever grooves roll all over the place. The re-release of Donato Dozzy’s »K« proves why he is being praised everywhere at the moment – hence it’s important to highlight the fact that this edition is strictly limited, once again.
