Hailing from the German city of Cologne, producer Nikolaus Werther has been making waves with his unique style of minimal techno and electronic tracks under the moniker Pappelallee. Over the last few years he’s won over fans and tastemakers alike with his exploration of electronic soundscapes that journeys through the worlds of techno, house, EDM and progressive styles.
Citing influences such as Sascha Braemer, Anja Schneider, Wighnomy Brothers, Seven Doors, Stephan Bodzin, Solomun and Gregor Tresher, he’s been delivering musical magic veiled by his clubhouse mixed and mastered sound. Passionate about both music and technology, he combines the two in his creative output to craft moments of escapism and wonder that’s seen him go from strength to strength since 2018.
Dropping his debut EP in that year, he released the four-track Weird Dreams and has since shared a plethora of captivating music. Now he brings us one of his latest works with his new track with Sam Ho titled “Close to Me”.
Spinning a gripping dreamy sonic landscape, on “Close to Me” Pappelallee and Sam Ho lay down an immersive electronic pop outing. Driven by a steady beat and lifted by soulful lead vocals and a whirling array of synth textures, the latest release from the talented producer offers a fiercely grooving danceable energy that works just as well in the club as it does on a late night drive.
Showcasing Pappelallee’s impeccable sound design skills and his knack for creating memorable musical moments, “Close to Me” is yet another dazzling electronic cut from the sonic sensation from Cologne.
