PANTHA DU PRINCE - THIS BLISS (IMPORT 2LP)

Panthu Du Prince This Bliss on Import 2LP

This is DJ, producer, composer and furniture maker Hendrik Weber's (aka Pantha Du Prince) second full-length release on Dial. Weber has always explored new worlds of sound under pseudonyms such as Panthel, Gluhen4 or as bassist of Hamburg-based group, Stella. 2006 was a fine, fine year for Pantha du Prince, his remixes for Depeche Mode and Phantom/Ghost plus the 12" single "Lichten/Walden" were all met with high acclaim.

The follow-up to all this, This Bliss is an album that aspires to push all boundaries from the heart of house and techno music. It was produced here and there, on trains, planes and automobiles while traveling between Hamburg, Berlin, New York and an old Parisian monastery. From Terry Riley to Wim Mertens, Robert Skempton to the mighty ski jumper Steiner, Pantha Du Prince takes inspiration from a varied and wondrous spectrum of composers and artists. 

This Bliss is one of the most harmonious and blissful audio journeys in dance music arguably heard in the past half decade. The clear origins and destinations his music takes you to and from are ever present but the true thread that seems to hermetically hold This Bliss together is a mood of exquisite melancholy that is inherent to each track. 2012 double LP repressing, originally released in 2007.
