Label: Dial ‎– dial CD 12, Dial ‎– dial CD12. Would Lawrence by any other name sound just as sweet? With Sten's THE ESSENCE, the answer is definitely yes. On "Daylight," he fully embraces the rhythm, laying out the atmospherics atop the driving beat, while "Unknown Faces" gets more askew with its melodies. This is a Lawrence who's finally decided to go clubbing: listen to the tribal-type drums that kick off "The Gate" or the Detroitian electro of "Squares.

Sten - The Essence Peter M. Kersten's productions as Lawrence are the archetypal darlings of Dial, the label he founded with Carsten Jost and Turner's Paul Kominek. Mixing solid house rhythms with exposed weepy melodies, Lawrence tracks readily conform to album-length "home-listening" requirements, qualities that reputedly have convinced many a rock jock of the joys of dance music. Sten's second album The Essence comprises recent singles, b-sides and new material and, at least until track six, flows as smoothly as anything Kersten's ever released. Layering blunt, frequently unwavering drum patterns over moody, vintage synth pads, this suite of tracks establishes an enthralling, dystopian atmosphere perfect for dark, late night journeys.

Though most house aficionados will be familiar with his work under the Lawrence moniker, he has released two superb LPs under the name Sten. ESSENCE, his second release as Sten, features pulsating rhythms, vintage synth textures, and tracks that evince a subtle understanding of unorthodox song structures and musical dynamics.

Sten - The Essence From Galaxy to Galaxy  . It is no secret how much the Dial label co-founder loves the classic emanations of the Motor City, and with ’The Essence’ he proves once again, how good he is at adding his own melancholic twist to Detroit’s legacy. Customers also bought.

LP (12" album, 33 rpm). lawrence) Format: Vinyl. Two decades of inspiration from house music and techno has brought him to The Essence. Kersten launched the Dial label in 2000 together with his flat mate and DJ friend Carsten Jost. After his Lawrence releases on Ghostly International, Cocoon, Mule Electronics, Kompakt and Sender, it is the Sten moniker which reduces Kersten's musicality to the magic moments on a minimal dancefloor. His deep and functional Detroitish minimal techno has been the DJ's choice from the first 12" to Sten's album Leaving the Frantic, released in 2004 on Dial.
