Philipp Priebe has been steadily making his mark on the contemporary deep hazy house and leftfield electronica scene over the past few years with a series of releases on his own Stlar imprint. Hedelivers the inaugural long player on his own imprint entitled Movements In An Empty Department Store and comprising eight original compositions from the German artist. In the words of the label founder himself “this is the first album on Stlar, a collaboration with Jules and Valentin, who are in charge of the artwork (Jules) and the Logo (Valentin). This LP is about a kids dream – one night alone in an empty department store. A dream come true for lots of children and adults, as it gives you the opportunity to do what you want, try everything without the side eye of employees, snack through the entire food and sweets section and have a night off without thinking about consequences. This can become great, a nightmare or a feverish dream these eight tracks are your soundtrack to this adventure.”

Throughout the album, Priebe further showcases his ability to craft, raw, cinematic and often mystical deep house music that acts as a cossetting sonic blanket for the listener throughout. From the swelling bass lines, dubby echoes and ethereal textures found in tracks like Marble, Porcelain, Drenched In Dust and Fever Dreams, through tomore rugged percussion driven dance floor tools like title-cut Movements In An Empty Department Store, Cedar and Clouds Floating In A Haze Of Light or the pensive, haunting closer On The Way Out, Philipp Priebe once again proves himself as a remarkable composer with a striking ear for detail and depth.
