Johannes Bernardus Verhoef was still in Ireland when we wrote about his previous release, but he has now ended up in Germany. I guessed that this explained the title of his fourth album under the moniker of Magnatech, Herr Magnatech Bittet Zum Tanz, but it turns out there is more to it: “It’s a journey that will lead you from the US to the UK, Netherlands, Germany, France and back to the Netherlands again.” Anyway, expect sixteen short instrumentals, as always a mix of surf-pop and Indo-rock influences. There are stompers and twist tunes as well as ballads and soundscapes, all original, cinematic and kind of danceable.
Herr Magnatech Bittet Zum Tanz is out now digitally and on CD through Sharawaji Records.

Thank you so much Dennis for reviewing my 4th album! Indeed, whilst I wrote and recorded this album in Ireland, when it was done, I knew I was moving to Germany for work, so to commemorate or to celebrate that fact I gave it a German title. Thanks again, really appreciated!
