Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiles a series of incredibly immersive 10-inch singles produced by Berlin minimal techno pioneers Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus, featuring deeply resonant vocal contributions from Tikiman. The recordings masterfully isolate the spatial, tape-delay aesthetics of classic Jamaican dub, pairing them with the precise, repetitive mechanics of German electronica. It effectively birthed an entirely new, highly influential subgenre of electronic music.
