3rd life in patterns release with 3 euphoric originals from ferdinger, remixed by raär and trudge. the vinyl ep includes a download code.

building on the mission statement that was ferdinger’s debut album “gelände”, comes “abbild”, a 4 track ep and the second release on his life in patterns label. the tempos are tweaked up and the sounds are honed and angled for maximum effect. “gegendämmerung” is straightforward but manages a lyrical tilt, while “spiegelreflex” oscillates between moments of dry precision and epic dreaminess. with “abglanz” the newly paris based producer brings things back to the geological strata that characterized “gelände” - but now with a rawer edge and more reflective surface. glos’ remix of “gegendämmerung” provides ambient and analogue textures, finishing the ep on a more introverted and melancholic note whilst maintaining the mechanistic drive of the other pieces.

in an era where electronic music increasingly favours rhythmic patterns and sound textures over classical harmonies, it is with a musician’s sensibility and a sound engineer’s technical skill that cologne-based producer and dj ferdinand grätz aka ferdinger embraces the zeitgeist and pushes beyond the boundaries of contemporary techno.

life in patterns welcomes dj physical.
