It seems that Uwe Zahn's City Centre Offices output is distinct from the DIN
releases, having a more percussive/ acoustic focus. The Arovane /Christian
Kleine split 7 "is a nice excursion into this different territory and is good
to see the Arovane sound having some degree of malleability, yet retaining a
robust sound.

I just had a feeling from the first release that this would be a label to
really look out for, and I've always been one to be extremely excited by it.
Just looking at the current and future roster is enough to get anyone's ears
drooling (if there's such a thing - a thing for me at least;`). And quite
diverse too. The first 2 Eps having a rather dubby/ monotone minimal
Rapaciolli feel followed by sheer lush ambience from Pub, with those amazing
remixes from Vladislav Delay, Arovane and Rapaciolli. With Kit Clayton to
follow anything can happen with this label from now.
