This is Dirk Leyers on an edge closer to his Nerk collaborations yet still using that stripped down melodic sense that he displayed so well on the Wellen release for Kompakt. Not a producer that has been on everyone's lips but with this release, and his small but faultless catalogue, it seems that he should deservedly gain a reputation. All three tracks are sparse groovy techno. The A-side (Azul) being the most driving of the tracks. The title track (Alma) is a spacey piece of Detroit style techno. Though a short track it has all its pieces in the right place. This release would fit as well with the Gigolo crowd as with the Kompakt collective. In fact, it combines the best of both: danceable without sacrificing musicality. A wonderful release from a wonderful producer.
