Back to Basics by Heanig is a minimalist voyage that distills the essence of techno and house into its purest form. With an unwavering focus on rhythm and subtle tonal shifts, Heanig crafts a track that feels both timeless and fresh. The intro introduces a deep, resonating kick drum, setting the tone with a steady pulse. Sparse percussive elements slowly build, bringing in sharp claps and light hi-hat patterns, while a throbbing bassline anchors the composition. A filtered synth line glides in and out, adding texture without overwhelming the atmosphere. There’s an infectious groove that drives the track forward, creating an almost hypnotic effect. With every beat and bar, Back to Basics emphasizes the beauty of simplicity, making it a true ode to the roots of minimalism in electronic music.

The Lossless Self EP is a two- track pack heavily influenced by dark and tribal sonic aesthetics. The output is a result of resampling organic drums, layered low ends, washed out highs, and a focus on telling simple yet concise rhythmic stories. 

The goal was to create juxtapositional compositions where there is a clear contrast between gritty/distorted elements and softer elements such as the synthesized pads in Generative Chase.

Depphaus - Joost 'Immortale' vanderMeer edit

The Absent Doubt EP packages two tracks anchored around shapeshifting bass from the future. Digressed pushes an emotional narrative through aggressive sonic language, whilst DOBFONK takes a functional stand designed for the modern dance-floor. Absent Doubts is carefully crafted, messy yet concise, mind-bending, and on the right side of wonky.
