Review by Drex Sacueza

Grapefrucht by Steven Campodonico: A Deep Dive into Minimal Vibes Alright, let’s get one thing straight—Steven Campodonico’s Grapefrucht isn’t your run-of-the-mill electronic album. Released back in 2013 under the German label Frucht, this little gem dives headfirst into deep techno and minimal beats with a vibe so smooth it feels like sinking into a beanbag chair at 3 AM. If you’re into music that whispers secrets to your subconscious rather than screaming for attention, you’ll want to stick around. The tracklist is tight, no fluff here—just six tunes that take you on a sonic journey through shadowy corners and pulsating rhythms. Two tracks stood out to me more than the rest, kinda like when you find an extra fry at the bottom of the bag. Let’s talk about those. First up, Rea (Seq Remix). Oh man, this one hits different. It starts off all moody and brooding, like someone sulking in a dimly lit room—but then BAM! The beat kicks in, sharp and snappy, pulling you outta your seat before you even realize what’s happening. There’s something hypnotic about how the layers build up slowly, almost teasing you to keep listening. By the time it fully unfolds, you’re not just hearing it—you’re feeling it. Like, goosebumps-on-your-arms feeling. That remix tag? Totally earned. Then there’s Snale Ale. Yeah, yeah, I know—the name sounds like some kinda craft beer experiment gone wrong, but trust me, this track slaps. It’s got this quirky rhythm that wobbles between playful and industrial, like a robot trying to learn how to dance. The groove locks you in from the first bar, and suddenly you’re nodding along like “Oh yeah, we vibin’ now.” What makes it memorable is its unpredictability; just when you think you’ve got it figured out, it throws a curveball. Sneaky stuff. The other tracks—Optional Assignment, Worse Day, etc.—aren’t slouches either. They fill out the album nicely, keeping that minimal aesthetic alive without ever getting boring. But honestly, after hearing Rea (Seq Remix) and Snale Ale, the rest feel like supporting actors in a movie where these two are the stars. So, wrapping this up… Listening to Grapefrucht feels like stepping into another dimension, one where time slows down and everything glows faintly neon. It’s weirdly comforting, like old sneakers or burnt toast nostalgia. And hey, isn’t that what good music should do? Mess with your brain a bit while making you feel right at home? Oh, random thought: Did anyone else notice how the word “Frucht” means “fruit” in German? Because if grapefruit was a sound, this might be it—tangy, refreshing, and maybe a tiny bit bitter. Cheers to that.
