about

"A way to find the day" is the first full-length album of Mapstation and it comes along as a flamboyant soulful piece of music. While the previous release 12" "New direction" (staubgold 24) managed to raise high expectations, "A way to find the day" picks up the tension and gives way to 43 minutes of attentive and curious dynamics, rhythmic irrealities and gently warm disorder - including two stunning collaborations with reggae singer Ras Donovan.

Mapstation is the imprint of Stefan Schneider (To Rococo Rot). His music is closer to minimalist techno but brings the euphoria of the genre together with charming slow-downs of pace and bpm.

“To Rococo Rot's Stefan Schneider is ‘Mapstation’, the solo project in which the bassist focuses more on the layering of electro sounds and textures. At times minimalist in approach, this third disc continues in the direction of an interesting compositional style. The introduction of what at first appears as simple sounding ideas are subtly built upon using various rhythms, synth patches and digital found sounds until they have formed a beautiful soundscape.

Each of the disc's eleven tracks has a unique development and outcome. ‘Two Landscapes’ opens with deep and lilting synth tones which act as a percussive element while various patches drift in and out stating a general melody and motif. ‘More People Than Two’ is comprised of a lullaby-sounding repetitive keyboard with a bassline that weaves nicely into the mix of ethereal chords and distant pulses. Reggae singer Ras Donovan guests on the tracks "New Direction" (released as a 12") and "Wake Up," which could be seen as minimalist dub, maintaining the rhythmic keyboard of the style. This is definitely one for the headphones.” (Gord Fynes, Brainwashed)
