Abstract Division - Nightfall - Dynamic Reflection [PREMIERE]

Dynamic Reflection
DREF045
Abstract Division
Midnight Ensemble LP

When two musicians intensively work together for a period of time, at some point the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. If Paul Boex and Dave Miller hadn’t already reached that status under their Abstract Division moniker, they certainly have now, with the release of Midnight Ensemble, their first full length album.

Those who have followed the duo since their early days of playing dj-sets together, know that it’s hard to define their style anywhere beyond techno or even electronic music, as it is ever evolving and always dependent on the time of the day or night. When listening to this album, the resemblance between their unpredictable selection behind the decks and the eclectic range of subgenres on this album is more obvious than ever before.

Midnight Ensemble could be interpreted as an ode to nightlife; a reminiscence of all that happens between dusk and dawn, captured and compressed into about one hour of music. An hour in which they so delicately time their changing of styles and tempos, always reading the room and always being one step ahead of the crowd.

This album is a reflection of that skill, starting its journey with soothing, mood-setting ambient, followed by timeless pieces of Detroit and dubtechno. A daring electro cut provide a refreshing break from the four to the floor tradition, only to be followed by the stripped down sound the duo is so comfortable with.

The final minutes consist of experimental breaks, one last banger to pull out the last bits of energy that is left and a beautiful outro, which concludes the all-nighter vibe. There are no open endings, it doesn’t make you want to stay in the dark forever. Rather it makes you want to close your eyes one last time before walking outside to see the sun come up again before going home, overwhelmed and satisfied.

Abstract Division - Open Your Soul [Artaphine Premiere]

Aquellos que han seguido al dúo Abstract Division desde sus primeros días tocando juntos como djs, saben que es difícil definir su estilo más allá del techno o incluso de la música electrónica, ya que están en constante evolución y siempre depende de la hora del día o de la noche. Al escuchar este álbum, el parecido entre su imprevisible selección tras los platos y la ecléctica gama de subgéneros de este disco es más evidente que nunca.

A Surreal Odyssey

Premiere: Abstract Division "A Surreal Odyssey (Fixeer Remix) - Dynamic Reflection

Enjoy the Mix? Click the [Repost] 🔁 button so more people can hear it!

We recorded this podcast in a way we love to start most of our sets. Beginning with the deeper side of techno, slowly moving to more groovy and energetic techno, trying to mix it as a nice story for the listener. We always try to pay attention to dynamic changes in the kick and groove while focusing on hypnotic and spacey sounds that elevate during the set.

We just released a double pack of remixes from our Midnight Ensemble album, and we are celebrating 15 years of Dynamic Reflection this summer. This will be celebrated by a series of 5 vinyl EPs with 20 tracks from label resident artists and new upcoming talents. For us, this is a big milestone we achieved with the label.
