Dediction

Berlin native Florian Kruse, a key part of the underground house and tech house scene, finds a kindred spirit in German vocalist Hendrik Burkhard. As TheGround, the pair have crafted a killer new forthcoming album, Dediction. "Homeless Hearts" exemplifies the duo's effect on each other; the slick, nuanced, and space-y production gives way to a powerful groove. "Undercover" is a dancefloor killer, with Kruse's exceptional flair for programming meeting Burkhard's understated delivery. Co-written by Raphael Hofmann, "Silence" explores some melancholic terrain before finding it's way back to the floor. "Creature" features a thick growling bass and precise, arpeggiated synth lines.
