repress 2017 ! uk-born producer luke standing aka blue hour has made a considerable impact since his emergence in 2013. a move from bristol to berlin precipitated a run of stellar self-released eps that immediately won him an ardent following among techno s most revered djs for a sound that offered a fresh take on classic techno and electronica, while always maintaining a supreme dancefloor functionality. among those fans was function, who included an exclusive track from standing in his berghain 07 mix and part i of its accompanying 12-inches. now standing s self-titled outlet launches a new remix series, calling on some of those aforementioned fans to offer their own takes on a trio of the standout tracks from his label s first five releases. ostgut resident answer code request applies the driving hybrid techno-bass approach that has made him one of berghain s brightest stars to blue hour 002 title cut axis motive, paris-based tresor resident marcelus offers an ethereal take that focuses on blue hour 003 s reference 97 s more hypnotic elements, and ostgut ton s steffi is perfectly matched to the third ep s moments, employing her signature sound that similarly offers a timeless anthemic quality to the original...

classy, & highly effective breakbeats tinged idm techno / electro hybrids

classy, twisted grooving, uplifting blend of fresh uk & detroit techno vibes

answer code request’s 2014 debut lp code was an exciting moment for electronic music in berlin – one that offered a break from the eternal hall and monolithic 4/4 kicks that ruled the city’s club landscape. as a hybrid gesture, the album’s spirit recalled an especially fruitful era in the german capital from the mid-90s to early 2000s, when dub and pad- driven detroit techno cross-pollinated with berlin’s industrial aesthetic to create one of the city’s most exciting musical chapters.

skilfully balanced, necessary techno boom w/ early 1990s uk leftfield techno vibes

answer code request picks up where he left off with his album (code, ostgut ton, 2014) and 12“ (calm down, mdr, 2015): with the neume ep the berghain resident offers three new tracks, meandering between restrained club contexts and brittle break beats, machinery and futurist soulfulness. the eponymous track “neume” starts off on a with shuffling rhythms atop a heavy kick, soon caught up by first surging then predominant drone motifs, flashing bleeps and piercing strobe sounds. “meta” on b1 clocks in instantly without any build-up: its rhythm section sets the tone with broken beats while acr slowly carves out more musical detail and textures: subtle command vocals from the machine room, swelling synth pads and other chilling, athmospheric means are subsequently being added until the track’s break where the emphasis shifts towards the kick, pads and synth melodies until the track’s sustained, smooth outro. “vis” on b2 is the ep’s most protruding track: classic uk garage shuffle rhythms and amen breaks are contrasted by a funky kick and dreamful pads, intertwined with additional sparse percusion, layered with what in the first instance sounds like chirping birds but then like sparking wires. answer code request continues what he does best: combining the warm human touch with chilled alienated aesthetics.
