Clandestine techno/house imprint, Meanwhile records reveals a one-off opus from two highly respected techno producers, Niels Luinenberg (Delta Funktionen) and Samuel van Dijk (Mohlao). The deeply mystical >Inward Content< session represents the Leuwarden sound of their native north Holland (also former home to another master of hypnotic repetition ((of the graphic type)), M.C. Escher) with an elegant, classically informed and deeply refined brand of 4/4 also identified on celebrated 12inches for Ann Aimee and Delsin. The albums six tracks use an economical production palette, but we wouldnt call them minimal. The emphasis is on subtly monotone melodic shades, from the rippling black masses of bass which power each track, to the bluest hued pads and unfathomably expansive atmospheres which lend them their spectral grace. Listening to this album is almost a mystical experience, like hearing the results of a seance conducted in low-lit surroundings calling upon the spirits of Basic Channel, Convextion and The Black Dog circa 1995. >Inward Content< took over two years to assemble and techno connoisseurs can clearly discern why.
