Panoramabar resident and Klakson co-founder Steffi unveils her debut album, and as you'd expect from an Ostgut Ton release, it's an enjoyable collection of high-grade house. The Dutch DJ/producer is known for her love of quality analogue tackle (as anyone who has bought Klakson releases will confirm), and it's this jack-era ethos that's at the heart of Yours & Mine. "Arms", "Manic Moods" and "Mine" all throb to a Chi-town beat, with the latter's strings and percussion coming on like a lost TRAX flipside. Steffi also tries her hand at Motor City style machine soul, densely layered deepness and anthemic piano house - all with impressive results. It's notoriously hard to make a good quality house album that hangs together well, but with Yours Or Mine, Steffi has succeeded.
