As a kid, Gerressen always drawn to making mixtapes and fiddling around with the old records in the attic, but never realizing he’d be ending up creating music and playing records. His passion for movies and hiphop kept him occupied. It took a giant (first) rave on his 18th birthday to see the real potential of house music and his objective was clear. In the years following he got the chance to warm up crowds on a regular basis at the legendary Planet Rose clubnights, which made his hometown Nijmegen an excellent place to develop his skills as a warm up DJ and to obtain a broad taste in music. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGerressen's previous album, 2017's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/search?q=vendor:Sushitech\u0026amp;type=product,page\u0026amp;options[unavailable_products]=hide\u0026amp;options[prefix]=none\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSushitech\u003c\/a\u003e-released \"Monoaware\", did a fine job in delivering atmospheric slabs of dancefloor hypnotism that were variously inspired by tech-house, dub techno and the deeper end of the European techno sound.\u003cem\u003e Heading In A Backwards Direction\u003c\/em\u003e feels like a more open and expansive take on the same basic blueprint, with Gerressen quietly slipping between beat-free dub techno soundscapes (blissful opener \"Fragil (Dub)\"), sun-kissed tech-house\/dub techno fusion (the ear-pleasing \"Draxis\"), deep house inspired dancefloor warmth (\"Cerendipity\"), heavier peak-time workouts (bass-heavy tech-house jack track \"Don't Be Neutron\"), crackling minimalism (\"Continued Momentum\") and hushed, sub-heavy goodness (closing cut \"Holding Thoughts\"). It all adds up to another impressively atmospheric excursion. — via Label\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6ZdpLpkDCXBH9PhPbaswm7?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Yoyaku\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 x Vinyl, 12\", 33 ⅓ RPM, Album\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2019\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Deep House, Dub Techno, Minimal, Techno\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: House \/ Electro \/ Techno\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoyaku","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45073039065246,"sku":"YOYAKU003LP","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/CS754174-01A-BIG.jpg?v=1738916101","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/roger-gerressen-heading-in-a-backwards-direction","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
