SPEICHER 99

Brothers Wolfgang and Reinhard Voigt are rightly considered main initiators of Kompakt's aesthetic, with the prolific output ranging from anti-beat science to richly layered ambient studies or dry-witted techno anthems. As a duo, Voigt & Voigt have been responsible for some of Kompakt's most notorious releases. For Speicher 99, they present crisp belter Sanfte Grusse, embroidering a stoic shuffle with mysterious, pitch-happy synth motives. On the flipside lives the post-industrial Durchdringung, a pulsating soundscape reveling in metallic noises and hypnotic feedback loops. These cuts serve as a powerful reminder of the series' roots in rough-and-ready techno with a twist. - A1. Sanfte Grusse?B1. Durchdringung
