So there. Having first pricked the electronic bubble back in 1996, Rachmad has since set about carving a deep and satisfying niche that drafts in grand strings, distinct melodies and funk/soul clippings - rolling them into wholesome earfuls of varied sound that stick to a schematic without becoming formulaic. The second full length on Sino, 'Neo Classica' has grand ambitions from the name down - as Rachmad weaves a relaxed but hard-boiled shell around the techno beating heart. With the likes of 'My Tikkie Tik', 'West Point' and 'Arigato' all stomping classics that texture their chrome surface with moments of real nuance and poignancy, Rachmad has once again proven himself to be a producer of vast stature and creative splendour. Class act." Available in CD Album format, Double Pack Vinyl, and Limited 5
