Lennard Poschmann returns to Die Orakel with a brand-new EP under his O-Wells alias. 'Ebecs' showcases the Robert Johnson resident's subtle, distinct approach to Detroit-ish, IDM & ambient-influenced electronic music.

Opening track 'Ectid' is a free-floating introduction revealing a glorious acid undercurrent. ‘Bbmore’ demonstrates a different kind of approach with the same wistful ingredients, unravelling a tightly wound drum structure from the inside. On 'Exolite', the inverse unfolds, as Wells blends experimental textures and introduces stabs of cathartic and deep bass.

Introducing the other half of the release, 'Culling Virus' is Wells' take on simmering, paranoid electro. On the pairing of 'LL0P 1' and 'LL0P 2', he provides an intermission with two tense locked grooves before concluding the release with the cascading and dense 'Shnuck', a psychedelic transmission of complex layered sound design.

Die Orakel is a Frankfurt based music platform run by Oliver Hafenbauer.

Die Orakel (Engl. the oracles) might not know it all but has the capacity to observe and sense it: Oliver Hafenbauer's imprint operates as an experimental field for electronic music on the playfully indecisive end where it exceeds genre-specificity to focus on tunes that function beyond. This is not to say that there are no four-to-the-floor productions. The Frankfurt-based label features contributions by artists like Reptant, Poly Chain, Edward, Roman Flügel, upsammy or O-Wells, all known as dance floor doyens. The releases yet encompass what can slip the attention on a traditional dance label. Uplifting and downtempo appear here as two categories that do not exclude each other. The visual representation of the venture is undertaken by Stefan Haag and label boss Oliver Hafenbauer himself, who have a clear approach to communicating Die Orakel’s standards.
