Dodi Palese is our newest member of the Connaisseur family, but defnitely no stranger to friends of sophisticated timeless techno. However, his Connaisseur debut is something different: A versatile affair, highlighting different aspects of Dodi's musical work.

"I've seen things you people would not believe. Attack ships on fre off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those... moments will be lost... in time, like tears... in rain. Time to die."
This famous phrase out of the legendary movie "Blade Runner" is the leitmotif of Dodi's "Orion EP".

The title tune "Orion" is a genuine set-opener or dancefoor resetter. Building up with mighty synths until at 2:40min the beat drops with unexpected strength. This track has a certain vibe reminiscent of Carl Craig's glory days. "Tannhäuser" can be seen as the main track of this release. An energy driven groove kicks it off straight from the beginning, guiding into a minimalist and trancy power track, strongly demanding and with a hands in the air guarantee. Due to its housey and summerish approach, "C-Beams" is the most unexpected track on this EP, halfway between classic and modern with a unique twist. Open-Air season calling!

Next to being a producer and also a fantastic DJ, Dodi Palese runs the imprints Engrave LTD and What Ever Not together with Musumeci and Dan Mela.
