The Gatekeeper

by Milton

supported by

Mubla Na Thguob I really really really hope this is put on wax someday. Favorite track: From Tongues And Lungs (feat. Phlocalyst).

Christoph Bachmann So happy I have stumbled upon this album. Trip Hop at its best, love almost all tracks. This genre is still alive. Looking forward to Miltons second album, but take your time, quality over quantity! Favorite track: Cognition.

Cosmatik Firstly, second the sentiment of KBOX wholeheartedly. This is a masterpiece. The attention to detail and countless revisits are appreciated and acknowledged. What you have landed on here is nothing short of spectacular. One of the most amazingly composed, compelling and enthralling albums in this style I have come across. This is an instant classic for me. If a Vinyl ever becomes available I would through money at it in a heartbeat. Thank-you so much for your wonderful work. Favorite track: One For Sabrina (feat. Foksu).

/\\/ateK This is probably one of the best albums I've ever heard. Favorite track: The Journey.

KBOX Good grief Milton. This is a masterpiece. Front to back. Thanks for taking your time and thanks for sharing it with us. In the course of day you have singlehandedly reignited my love for music that I didnt even know was really lacking. It was only when I heard this beautiful album that my heart told me...."this was it all along". Why does every song sound so familiar to my soul? Were they my favs in a previous lifetime?!
Fav song is the outro cuz I get to start the whole album over when it ends. Favorite track: Farewell (Outro).

about

The Gatekeeper is the debut album from German Trip-Hop producer Milton. After years of digging and countless revisits his first full length album is ready, combining old-school break beats and sample techniques with modern sound design and arrangements. Milton creates his own world with large sounds and countless samples and influences per track. It’s a love letter to the past and to the producers who shaped his taste in music - inspired by great artists such as Neroche, Gramatik, Kognitif, mononome, Vanilla, and Dj Shadow just to name a few. The album also features his close friends Mr.Fables, Phlocalyst, and Foksu who contributed their magic to this project years ago.

Special thanks to:

Sammy Bauer who bought me the MK1 and convinced me to learn producing - without him I would probably never had started this journey, love you mate.

Mr.Fables who joined me on this adventure early on and was always there for inspiration and feedback. I'm very glad to have him as feature on this project and as the one who mixed the mess of stems I sent him.

Frenic for the great mastering that took me too long to give feedback on.

Paddy Besser who convinced me to release this album properly.

Additional thanks to Julian Convex, Fab Beat, Phlocalyst, Foksu, Niklas Lütjeharms, Miriam Kuhn, Funky Fella, LESKY, Korey Wade, Foeniks, and Antoine Manesse. Also thanks to my Family and my former roommates who had to listen to unfinished stuff or me slaughtering the pads in the middle of the night.

Also a big thanks to all the great artists who contributed to the remix album which will be released shortly after this album.
