Mirror mirror on the wall, who's one of the most overlooked of them all? DJ and record producer Evan Bartholomew is fairly underrated within the electronic music scene, and he has what it takes to match up to the ultimate personages. Under the Bluetech moniker, he released Prima Materia in 2003 - and man, what a solid record his debut offering turned out to be. Sporting 11 tracks in all, the album's downtempo atmosphere often merges with psychedelic and classical sounds in a nice attempt at generating an overall fresh, entertaining affair which shouldn't go unappreciated. There exists a sense of warmth and detail to Prima Materia that just makes the whole thing fun to journey through time and time again. Bartholomew's method of fusing organic influences with the relatively digital side may not be unheard of, although it's arousing nonetheless.
