Semblance is Matt Cavender (The Missing Link) and Jacob Todd (Whitespace). Can you have too much gear? Semblance doesn't think so. From vintage units like Roland's Juno 60 and Korg's Mono/Poly to classics in the making like Moog's Sub 37 and Elektron's RYTM, Semblance puts them all to good use. What does any self respecting techno producer want to do on his birthday? That's right, have a jam session. Rumple was recorded on Matt's birthday and Behindsight was recorded on Jacob's birthday. These songs are each single takes recorded in a day and represent pure techno improvisation.

German duo Oemtilde (Finn Fahrenkrug and Daniel Menke) make their debut on Emote with a sound best described as post minimal. Clean percussion and quirky melodies are the basis for these young producer's music. Whitespace deconstructs Allicanto with the help of some guitar pedals and a few too many saturators. Komprezzor gives Tunnelblick a nose ring, some detuned melodies and sticks it in the middle of a labyrinth.

EM056 : Oemtilde - Allicanto (Original Mix)

Emote Music's Whitespace has created three examples of modern techno ranging from the straight forward truculence of Postic, to the poly rhythmic evolution of Aleatory, to the broken beats and plucky melodies of Pry. While all of the songs are aggressive, they each have a central melodic theme that defines Whitespace's sound.

Colombian DJ and producer Aleja Sanchez has been busy spreading her smokey and hypnotic brand of techno. Aleja's talent is on full display with her version of Postic.

EM057 : Whitespace - Postic (Aleja Sanchez Remix)

EM057 : Whitespace - Postic (Original Mix)

There were doughnuts and later there was Thai food. In between was a mess of cables and synthesizers. What started as an analog jam session ended as some random stems but no song. Ilkhausen (Doug Cavender), The Missing Link (Matt Cavender), and Whitespace (Jacob Todd) each went back to their studios to create a song from the chaos. The results were so drastically different that it only made sense for each to be an original song.

EM058 : Whitespace - A Savage Tale (Original Mix)

EM058 : The Missing Link - Peripheral Motion (Original Mix)

EM058 : Ilkhausen - Closest Approach (Original Mix)

The Missing Link (Matt Cavender) is built from a carefully calculated mixture of doughnuts and kale. Much like his diet, his music is filled with contrasts and extremes. Matt has created four pieces of music that balance his improvisational style with his meticulous production. Deep, brimming with insight, and a healthy dose of funk we are once again honored to present The Missing Link.

Between dreams we live our lives. For Semblance (Jacob Todd and Matt Cavender) that means creating music. There was no plan to write an album but after a year of live jam sessions we had one. In a world awash with music we hope this contributes some modicum of originality. A small wave in the river of music rushing through our lives.
