Utility

by Barker

Operating entirely without kick drums, the Ostgut Ton resident crafts a fascinatingly buoyant and rhythmic exploration of ambient techno. By stripping away traditional club-music low-end, Sam Barker forces complex, intertwining synthesizer melodies and delays to carry the momentum, resulting in an incredibly uplifting, weightless electronic record.
