The Gatekeeper by Milton
The Gatekeeper is the debut album from German Trip-Hop producer Milton. After years of digging and countless revisits his first full length album is ready, combining old-school break beats and sample techniques with modern sound design and arrangements. Milton creates his own world with large sounds and countless samples and influences per track. It’s a love letter to the past and to the producers who shaped his taste in music - inspired by great artists such as Neroche, Gramatik, Kognitif, mononome, Vanilla, and Dj Shadow just to name a few. The album also features his close friends Mr.Fables, Phlocalyst, and Foksu who contributed their magic to this project years ago.

Special thanks to:
Sammy Bauer who bought me the MK1 and convinced me to learn producing - without him I would probably never had started this journey, love you mate.
Mr.Fables who joined me on this adventure early on and was always there for inspiration and feedback. I'm very glad to have him as feature on this project and as the one who mixed the mess of stems I sent him.
Frenic for the great mastering that took me too long to give feedback on.
Paddy Besser who convinced me to release this album properly.
