The first Musik For Autobahns was a delight: softly-softly ambient and subtle cuts from the likes of Move D, Suzanne Kraft, Roman Flügel and plenty more besides. Even amongst Rush Hour’s bounty that year, it stood proudly out. A ripple of excitement went through BR HQ upon finding out Gerd Janson was lining up a second, with no shortage of marquee signings all coming correct with their A game.

A number of heads come together to translate these thoughts into sound – from Fort Romeau’s Drive-esque “Seleno” joyride through to the propulsive “Melancholy” of Disco Nihilist. Perhaps none elicit as many feels as the enveloping opener from Leon Vynehall though.

As well as being a mesmeric mimic of accelerating down Bundesautobahn 5 at daybreak, “Midnight on Rainbow Road” got our Debut nod for three main reasons: firstly, it kicked off last year’s sublime set from Gerd & Ata (so, about time); second, it’s a welcome return for Mr Vynehall after a richly deserved breakout year; third, dude’s got previous with N64 titling. And that’s something we can all get behind.
