I have very fond memories of playing Marius Sommerfeldt's "Neste Stopp Morra Di" production under his Sommerstad alias years ago during my brief stint as a DJ.

I was blown away by the collision of the organic and the synthetic on the debut album from toechter. I suppose that's to be expected when the instrumentation was recorded at Saal 3 at Funkhaus Berlin and then the electronic bits were shaped in the studio of Apparat.
