Paranoid Funk

• Track Listing

Berlin's Alex Niggemann is one of an exciting new run of artists to arrive on Steve Bug's Poker Flat Recordings, bringing fresh, high quality house music to the world's dancefloors. In his own words, Alex set out to "create an album which is different to typical club or listening albums... where songs fit together (even when having different styles) without being too similar." And so, Paranoid Funk is a brilliant debut album and a great achievement for this up-and-coming producer. The confidant, retro-meets-nu-school grooves of Niggemann's 11-track debut album Paranoid Funk fit perfectly to the man behind the beats. A classically-trained pianist who gave up the ivory keys for a more technological dream, the young 26 year-old producer joins a new wave of artists enjoying a steady resurgence in deep, groovy and indeed sexy house music. It's a mature, well-considered achievement that will no-doubt find favor with club DJs and avid home listeners alike. Features contributions from artists such as Daniel Solar, Florian Schirmacher, Benji and Daniel John Rydell.
