This stylistically assured border crosser brings together "the DJ aesthetic, electronic music, and improvised fragments of tradition", his individual and inspired sounds are influenced by Steve Reich, Stevie Wonder, Radiohead, and Weather Report and by Johannes Enders' experience of performing with The Notwist, Billy Hart, Roy Hargrove, Marsmobil, and Fauna Flash. Hotel Alba is the remarkable third, entirely new album in this electro-authentic playing style, still "gently avant-garde".
