Wonderfully minimalistic beats, pleasantly, lulling vocals and stomach-kneadingly-warm bass lines exploit the sexiness of pop but deliver a punch at the same time. School Of Zuversicht make use of these ruptures to make clear that criticism of the general state of things, enhanced by beautiful music, is especially effective. The pieces describe a completely atomized world without cohesion, where everything has to be re-negotiated from scratch. School Of Zuversicht is not a band, but a collective reference-system based around DJ Patex, who doesn't appear as the lead, but who gathers energies. "In her first solo album, DJ Patex has come up with a little stroke of electro genius: she combines minimal club-beats and ecstatic pop-moments with unprecedented electro-sounds to create a unique sound."
