bright sounds marks its fourth release by unearthing a hidden late-nineties techno gem: having been a long term fixture of kennedy smith s record bag, the bright sounds label owner leapt at the opportunity to reissue swedish producer henrik johansson s 1997 plug research ep as smyglyssna. carrying all the hallmarks of the dense, cerebral techno that has established the bright sounds catalogue so far, the reappearance of the dold ep on the label makes perfect sense as it continues to cement its place among the most exciting techno labels to emerge in the past 18 months. vinyl only release

following on from march s shlømo remix package featuring donato dozzy, bambounou, shlømo and label boss kennedy smith, bright sound s second release of 2016 will new a brand new ep from sweden s andreas tilliander. with his releases on his own repeatle imprint and his tm404 alias s hardware-driven techno featuring on skudge white and kontra-musik, tilliander is among sweden s most versatile talents working right now. his arrival on bright sounds is of a piece with bsrx 004, last year s reissue of fellow swede henrik johansson s 1997 ep as smyglyssna. as with johansson s record, tilliander s stettin libau ep explores slower tempo techno, locating the moments of space and energy in between its rhythmic structures. this search is most keenly observed in knapp ledsyn , with its ever-shifting sonic landscape melting away at various points to reveal its unusual, skeletal beats and hidden melodic details, while the ep title track and nybliven lots apply that approach to what might at first be a traditional dub techno template, yet still offering further small moments of off-beat character. completing the release is a detox operation remix of knapp ledsyn from nonplace records chief burnt friedman, in which the german veteran strips things down to a gentle patter of drums overlaid with suggestive flashes of the original s rich atmospheric elements.
