With an enormous palette of instruments and influences, GLF succeed at carving out their own sound without settling into categorization.

„Frequencies“ grabs with a spiky cosmic synth pulse, peppered with nagging guitar riffs. But what‘s this?! Cold Teutonic automata appear to have taken over, and shifted the emphasis to something like an organic post-industrial electro tip... Warbling, malfunctioning electronics threatening to dismantle the core.

In opener „Akshak“ assorted elements form, float, decay and mutate over the base of the loping time signature. Insistent guitar layers yield to a temporary synth wash, and we drift along in psychedelia... before everything recedes into a primitive funk-driven breakdown.

Harnessing some pretty rough and raw live energy is the key to DPT’s sound, refusing as they do to allow overdubs, along with a completely uncompromising approach to song structure and making no concessions to what they or anyone else might consider fashionable.

Beginning with the unusually catchy ‘Count the Clock’ – a pulsating motorik affair with offbeat electronic syncopations and dreamy synths – we quickly arrive at ‘Hiritoto Shikitsch’ where a whole welter of other potential references and influences come to mind, with none of them coming close to capturing just what is going on here. At times we could be listening to some unholy mash of Add N to X, Cabaret Voltaire and Holy Fuck, with elements of Maurice Fulton’s Syclops project thrown in for good measure. Super tight drums keep a handle on barely-contained synth overload... there is a lightness of touch, hard (and live, remember?!) internal edits, a broad palette of sounds being employed using a relatively constrained set of instruments.

Hepp Live Set 2017

SPEZIALMATERIAL (SM) formierte sich in den späten Neunzigerjahren in einem organischen Prozess zu einem Label für elektronische Musik. Bis anhin releaste das Zürcher Label 51 nationale und internationale Acts mit über dreissig veröffentlichten Tonträgern. Mit innovativen Klangwelten und technischer Raffinesse gewann SM nicht nur zahlreiche Förderpreise, sondern machte sich auch in der internationalen Fachpresse einen Namen. Durch akustisch und visuell gleichermassen beeindruckende Live-Präsentationen des Materials, markante Grafiken und visionäre Bookings avancierte das Label darüber zu einem Gütesiegel für anspruchsvolle Liebhaber. Längst erweiterte das Label sein Spektrum über die Elektronische Musik hinzu genreübergreifenden, akustischen Songprojekten.

SPEZIALMATERIAL (SM) formed in an organic process in the late nineties. So far, the Zurich based Label has released the works of 51 national and international acts on more than 30 records. With innovative sound scapes and technical savvy, Spezialmaterial artists have not only won numerous prizes but also made themselves a favourite in the specialized international press. The acoustically and visually impressive live presentations, the outstanding graphic design and visionary booking made the label a seal of quality for the sophisticated. Long ago Spezialmaterial has widened its spectrum beyond electronic music to include genre-crossing, acoustic song projects.
