Anthony Rother – Grid Stripper / Ape Machine

Review: Grid Stripper embodies Anthony Rother’s moderntronic aesthetic: a machine‑like precision, a hypnotic vocal presence, and spacious minimalism that unfolds over a slow-burning groove. It’s contemplative, atmospheric, with subtle lyrical textures. Ape Machine, in contrast, is more functional club electro: energizing, rhythmic, textured, and dancefloor-ready. It bridges electro‑funk with techno discipline and is more overtly catchy. Together, these tracks showcase Rother’s dual strengths: the cerebral, avant-garde side in Grid Stripper and the dance floor propulsion of Ape Machine.
