The make of dance music Germany's Peter Kremeier produces as Losoul is a cross of the several strains of house he has been open to since a stripling during the recent '80s, all the patch adding a dollop of his possess playful innovation. While Kremeier's material has been thrown in with the residue of the typeset dubbed micro-house, his work doesn't fall victim to the pseudo-style's occasional tendency to pass into prissiness. After a series of six-spot singles for Playhouse scattered between 1996 and 2000, Kremeier released his first full-length with Belong. The record book was released the same year as his labelmate Isolée's Rest, which truly received a lot of attention in the entreat -- just alas, this possibly stole some of the thunder from Belong's greatness and overshadowed it. Kremeier, world Health Organization is frequently united by vocalizer Malte, has as well worked under the Don Disco false name.
