Wonderful, probably the best album of 2022...

For the nineteenth installment of the Reduct series I took inspiration from the initial series 1 through 9 with its extended hardware sessions, resulting in two 10+ minute dub techno tracks with a vintage flair.

"Ohrwert | NºXX II", from the album "NºXX", available at https://music.ohrwert.com/album/n-xx.

The ambiguous title "NºXX" refers to both the Latin writing for night and number twenty. Much as "Tenth" (Other Heights, 2010) was a closing album for the Reduct series 1 to 9, "NºXX" is a closing album for the Reduct series 11 to 19.

As the reference in the title to night suggests, the music is all about nocturnal dub vibes, weaving through moonlit ambient clouds.

NºXX

NºXX II [NºXX]

Advanced Dreams -  Neon Sky

Ghostly images drift through a dream state. Lo-fi textures and faint melodic fragments blur the line between memory and illusion. It’s as though a forgotten consciousness is replaying its own fading dreams on loop, slowly unraveling into silence.

Arjen Schat has been active in the field of electronic music under numerous monikers since the late ’90s. His much acclaimed “Reduct” series made him stand out as one of the top dub techno producers in the Netherlands, and he is still standing strong with a steady stream of releases and remixes on labels throughout the world. Besides dub techno, Arjen has been tailoring the ‘Berlin-school’ sound to his own unique sonic identity, alongside his ever expanding amount of ambient and meditative drone music.
