Some ideas are just so good, they deserve a second chapter. Like Christian Prommer’s Drumlesson Vol. 1 album, released in 2008, which featured instrumental jazz versions of legendary techno and electronic tracks including Derrick May’s Strings of Life, Kraftwerk’s Trans Europe Express and Josh Wink’s Higher State of Consciousness. Critics and audiences were united in their positive reactions to the album. “Makes you feel cool just listening to it,” gushed Mixmag’s four-star review, while Clash Magazine called it “an intriguing and successful outing. FlyGobalMusic claimed “this album is as near perfection as it is possible to be", and Properly Chilled conclude that “Christian Prommer’s Drumlesson will put a tap in your foot, a snap on your fingers, and a smile across your bohemian soul.” High praise indeed. Even more flattering, the artists themselves sent warm messages of support to Christian. “Nice work Mr. Prommer", said Derrick May. “It’s an honour to be covered in such a brilliant way,” agreed Patrick Pulsinger. Now the Munich-based drummer, DJ and producer returns with a second volume of inspired electro-organic cover versions. The musical mix remains ambitiously broad, from Carl Craig to Laurent Garnier, from Underground Resistance to Jean-Michel Jarre. Since the first album, the Drumlesson collective has grown from a studio concept to a fully working live band. Christian was also more directly involved in playing drums, piano and percussion alongside guitarist Uwe Karpa, keyboard player Roberto Di Gioia, percussionist Ernst Ströer, bass guitarist Christian Diener and drummer Matteo Scrimali. After the recording sessions, he also worked on each track in his studio, switching roles from live player to electronic producer. “On the last record, everything was played and performance oriented,” Christian explains. “This one was more produced and laid out like a concept. Normally when I do my electronic music, everything is programmed and very controlled.
