Today the musical vision offered by Berghain resident @AnswerCodeRequest, real name Patrick Gräser, has proved far-sighted. While at first glance electronic music in 2018 seems increasingly balkanized, borders between genres have once again become fuzzier. Now, on his follow up LP ‘Gens’, Gräser looks beyond the bass euphoria of his debut album ‘Code’ (Ostgut Ton, 2014) toward darker horizons and a desolate atmosphere befitting of current global circumstances.

Your thoughts pause as your attention draws to this moment. You begin to wonder... 'where am I, what was I doing?'.

A sense of frustration passes as a wave of tranquillity washes over you. Riding this feeling, you begin to drift into a state of intense thought. Places, faces and emotions surround you, passing by at the speed of light. It's as if your entire existence was inhaled by the vacuum of your focus. There is now little but a presence of darkness, yet somehow you feel at peace.

Suddenly, your mind blossoms like a flower and a rush of energy passes through you. It pulsates your very being, at a rate that feels so right, so content. Messages sing themselves into your imagination painting pictures of beauty. You're surrounded by lifeforms that creep closer with playfulness. You descend deeper, in awe of all that is before you.

The thought arises, is this real? And suddenly, all of what you have just experienced begins to float, just out of reach. A snapshot of this very instance is stored in your conscience forever. It is this moment that you will ponder for the rest of your waking life.

Groov Mekanik aims to seize these moments and store them as vibrational data that evoke wonder. Breathe deep, move fast and enjoy the ride.
