diamond version craft music that is somehow simultaneously futuristic and archaic. on the surface, its static effervescence and mechanistic precision evoke the march of technology and the sinister detachment of late capitalist society. but it affects listeners on a more instinctive level, interfacing directly with the nervous system and rendering the polyphonic chatter of the bodys impulses crisp and cold. there is something oddly permanent about they rhythms they unearth, as though theyare simply tapping into a deeper pulse that has always been present within their circuitry. diamond version is a collaborative project between two of the most groundbreaking, experimental and forward thinking operators in modern music, olaf bender and carsten nicolai. as joint heads of the berlin-based label raster-noton and with solo projects alva noto (nicolai) and byetone (bender), for over a decade they have been releasing work that spectacularly blurs the lines between the visceral and the conceptual, bridging the gap between gallery and dancefloor. diamond version release the latest instalment in their series of eps leading up to an album in summer 2013.
