Obtuse Swamp's second ecosystem "Hadal Biocenosis" is the result of two years of sonic exploration by Leipzig-based artist Kontinum. Moving from conventional techno to a more bass-oriented sound, he left his comfort zone and experimented with unusual grooves and textures for this release. The EP is rounded off by two remixes from french dub expert Són du Maquís and fellow Leipzig producer Esgeem.

English, Ecuadorian record collector and DJ based in London. Organiser of the Climate Controlla climate fundraiser events and founder of Bit'a Summat. Previously radio host at AAJA and Keakie music. 

Fascinated by fast, hypnotic and dark sounds from across the bpm and genre spectrum, with focus on 90s/00s psy, trance and techno with progressive arrangements, and contemporary IDM infused, ritualistic te-ch/k-no.

Always down to craft something interesting for your mix series or radio shows!

Dreams&feelings expressed thru imagined landscapes, breathable sound design and none existing living organism. All crafted on the steady spine of techno and inspired from dub, trance worlds.
