Kreidler are a group that I've never fully immersed myself in although the bits I've heard over the years I've thought were just kind of okay. I must say though that after listening to their new album 'Mosaik 2014' I was really getting into some of the groovy rhythms that have a kind of tribal meets Kraut thing happening. A lot of the tracks are loop based but never too repetitive. There are some delicious synthesizer sounds and the overall feel is of an organic techno record which I guess is probably a contradiction but that is how it feels to me. The production is solid throughout and some of the tracks are really quite funky, with big basslines. The emphasis is really on rhythm with the drums/ percussion sounding superb and on occasion simultaneously hypnotic and ass shaking. Out on Italic and really a lot of fun.* Early in 1994 KREIDLER was founded by Thomas Klein, Andreas Reihse, Detlef Weinrich and Stefan Schneider on bass guitar who was to leave KREIDLER some years later to form To Rococo Rot; his place was taken by Alex Paulick (now of Coloma) up until 2001.
* KREIDLER ’s album Riva was released in 1994 on a small Parisian label. This was to be the first of 16 releases to date, with the last being Eve Future Recall (2004).
* Among the artists to have been remixed by Kreidler are such names as Faust, Einsturzende Neubauten, and Depeche Mode .
* On the new studio album Mosaik 2014 KREIDLER champion a kind of Godardian futurism in which the 20th and 22nd centuries merge. Science fiction and modernity. This record has more rhythm, drums, percussion. More keyboards, better yet synthesizers, more off-kilter loops and more electrical storms.
