Judging by the accomplishments displayed on Connected, German DJ Timo Maas' first mix compilation for Perfecto Records, his fame is nothing if not well deserved; it was his remix of Azzido Da Bass' mighty "Waaap!" anthem "Doom's Night" that really shot the genre-mashing DJ into the international producer's big league. Maas began his career DJing in German clubs in the early 1980s, and it's honed his style to perfection: a seamless blend of progressive trance and death-to-cheese techno.

Judging by the accomplishments displayed on Connected, German DJ Timo Maas' first mix compilation for Perfecto Records, his fame is nothing if not well deserved; it was his remix of Azzido Da Bass' mighty "Waaap!" anthem "Doom's Night" that really shot the genre-mashing DJ into the international producer's big league. Maas began his career DJing in German clubs in the early 1980s, and it's honed his style to perfection: a seamless blend of progressive trance and death-to-cheese techno. Timo Maas: Connected revels in the sort of pared-down, hypnotic rhythm technology that the Europeans have elevated into an art form. While the first disc is unerringly deep and brooding, the second disc more adequately displays Maas' hand as an eclectic producer, opening with a flamboyant juggling of Underworld-esque keyboard riffs, dissecting Fatboy Slim's "Star 69" into the realms of abstract funk, and enlisting Dave Clarke's remix of Midfield General's "Coatnoise" to batter the tail-end of the disc into a climax of satisfyingly brutalist techno. He only really puts a foot wrong with his remix of angst-rock group Placebo's "Special K"; sadly, not even thumping production can turn Brian Molko's whiny lyrics into the work of a clubland diva. --Louis Pattison
