Interview

SHDW & Obscure Shape - Augen Der Nacht

After his joining with Ostgut Booking in 2015, his contribution to the Ostgut Ton | Zehn compilation and two 12“es on Ben Klock’s Klockworks label, Ukraine-born, now Berlin-based producer and DJ Etapp Kyle debuts on Unterton.

As with his previous releases Etapp Kyle captures his playful, multi-layered Techno endeavours with single-word track titles: Continuum EP starts off with “Opto”, an atmospheric track with fazing bleeps, ensouled synths and subdued claps – a prime example of his great feel for musical detail. “Ahora” builds upon this vibe with more asynchronous drum patterns, well placed drips of melody, distant pulses, mesmerizing pads and hints of rattles amongst other percussion.

The EPs title track “Continuum” is distinctive through its use of industrial hammer jabs and reduced, puzzling synth pads that are counteracted by a more dominant, steady and stubborn kick drum. “Limb” contrasts unconventional pulsating, hypnotic synth tones with sharp claps and snare sounds, and rounds off this 12“ of all new, puristic and futurist Techno, catering as much to the darker corners as to the brightest spots of the dance floor.

Appearing on the 20 year anniversary compilation from Drumcode, Truncate remixed "Miss You" off of my album, "Monoliths." Most remixes these days are completely different tracks from the original with almost zero material from the original. However, I think David did a great job of basically using only the source material actually 'remix' into it a completely new techno banger. People have been asking for this one for over a year, and it now it will finally be available.

Miss You (Truncate Remix)

From Another Mind, the techno party and label from southern Germany, is putting out a pair of remix EPs in February. 

Version 004.1 and Version 004.2 are made of reworks of material that From Another Mind bosses SHDW and Obscure Shape have released across three EPs since launching the label in 2015. The lineup of remixers includes some of the biggest names in the business. Rødhåd leads off the first set, which also features James Ruskin, Dax J and Shlømo. Meanwhile, the second EP opens with a joint rework from Tale Of Us and Mind Against, with Inland, Ryan James Ford and Konstantin Sibold contributing as well. 

Both EPs will come on vinyl and digital formats, with separate cover artwork that's designed to sit next to each other.

Having initially released a pair of collaborative white labels featuring Lucy and Alex.Do over the last couple of years, Rødhåd’s imprint WSNWG notches up the pace with a vengeance in lieu of third instalment, foreshadowing another trio of joint EPs to be released throughout 2020 and including co-ops with Ø [Phase] (June), Daniel Avery (September) and Rene Wise (November). 

This also comes with the opening of a new chapter in Rødhåd’s career, as he will be starting to tour live in addition to his DJ sets, including dates at Berghain, Re-Textured Festival in London, Awakenings in Amsterdam; also joining forces with Sebastian Mullaert’s as part of his Circle Of Live project.

Borderless by essence, WSNWG’s aim is simple: showcase collaborations between Rødhåd and a variety of like-minded artists from various horizons, all recorded in the warm creative environment of his Berlin studio. ‘WSNWG003′ is the result of three sessions French techno stalwart Antigone and Rødhåd had in 2018 and 2019, with each of the tracks’ titles referring to the particular date it was made and recorded – understand ‘180702’ as 2nd of July 2018.

The journey starts off with the nostalgia-soaked, rolling punch of ‘180702.1’ – a number that justly epitomises both artists’ idiosyncrasies through a fine-tuned blender of near-classical emotional stir and gridlocked floor dynamics on a dubby tip. Delving further deep into post-industrial murk, its ‘.2’ counterpart casts a spell of veiled menace upon dancers and ravers through clanky assemblies of rattling drums, mirroring signals and brooding droney flights.
Flip it over and here’s ‘190709’ shifting the focus to breaks-heavy traction in powerful fashion. Riddled with mangled pep-talk samples, raucous machine howling and stuttering junglisms, the track spins in and out of orbit to entice the listener into a much physically demanding workout. Last but not least, no-nonsense floor-shredder ‘190904’ treats us to a brain-melting trip of fast-rotation synth loops, bleepy subs and fevered hi-hats that shall fit just right in the middle of any climactic buildup worthy of the name.
