limited repress! perfect and mega hypnotic groovin romanian minimalism. diminutive s story continues with the >one more< chapter, featuring ztrl and sylphe as the main heroes of this arc. a 3rd tracker ep meant to teleport you to a >lost< dimension driven by ztrl s hypnotic sound and sylphe s dubby rework.

ztrl continues our journey with the warping of frequency and a magic touch. his productions invite you to dive from high up in the spectrum and into the lowest depths. take a breath below the wave as you brush against the texture and rhythms he creates, as though you are invisible and central in the sound. soft harmonies tickle and sneak around the core, holding you in fascination and thought.

baertaub’s newest release wolke welcomes you with bazalt, a very tight and sharply shaped minimal techno track designed to awake your senses one by one from head to toe with small noisey cuts and bits that show their faces at certain times to draw a sonic geometrical map. next up is a relatively darker track rather than rain which again features those alien bits and is enriched with an unexpected and grande synth melody that somehow fits perfectly with the dark mood and alienating sound of the track. b side opens with the ztrl remix of bazalt which focuses on that witty geometrical face of the track and lifts it to an upper level with slowly building beats and hypnotizing loops. the ep closes off with the title track, wolke, which follows a very interesting trajectory: a tense sounding chord line is softened by a groovy bass and dubby touches and percussive samples which in the end provides an unexpectedly feel good ending to a positively minimal ep.

castanea records presents its fourth release. the ep includes 2 original tracks by ztrl and 1 remix by odd
