This is the first full-length release by Bremen-based producer, Stephan Bodzin, label-head of Herzblut. Bodzin has spent many years as the man behind the scenes who has helped countless techno artists to launch their successful careers. He released his first 12"s in 2006 and founded his label, which roughly translates to "blood from the heart," or "commitment." The euphoria that his first tracks caused has been widespread and the list of top-notch DJs who have freaked out to his music is endless. Stephan Bodzin has created his very own and unique electronic sound, which combines club-functionality and deep musical emotion in a very special and surprising way. Keen melodies and an embossed and sometimes histrionic beauty stand next to rumbling basses and fey dissonance. There is no way to pigeonhole the Bodzin sound into one of those well-worn musical genres. That's why Bodzin himself describes his debut album Liebe Ist... ("Love Is...") as "...an album of tones and melodies, an atmospheric musical approach, which isn't shackled by the Zeitgeist." The 11 tracks on this album, which is also released on a self-confident triple-vinyl set, were produced within 6 months. Liebe Ist... is the next logical step for Bodzin, who is now concentrating on his own career for a change. And on listening to this great album, you'll definitely want to congratulate him on this decision.
