Speicher 86

Berlin-based producer Re. You (Keinemusik, collaborator with Rampa) delivers the latest installment of Speicher, a worthy addition it's heritage of forward-looking, club-ready techno. The hypnotic Fantasy, grinding it's synth teeth and brimming with foreboding atmosphere, is a particularly enigmatic stomper that pairs it's compositional relentlessness with a small, hand-picked sound-palette, tailored to perfection for an adventurous crowd. The uncanny Robot starts out as a somewhat relaxed groover embedded in what sounds like an animatronic zoo, but builds up a sizeable amount of nail-biting tension thanks to a single rising drone that is joined by mysterious voice snippets and a stoic baseline.
