och: first contact

Berlin-based vinyl-only label Dreiklang presents its first release, Londoner OCH's First Contact. Each Dreiklang release presents three contrasting takes on the same source material, juxtaposing and unifying three particular sub-currents of electronic music. "First Contact" takes a simple keyboard line into menacing territory, steering the dancefloor toward the grittier ends of tech-house. Italian producer Hydergine's remix is a smart dub-techno rework with mind-numbing kicks inciting an atmospheric joyride through the deeper ends of narcosis. Kelovolt's immersive remix sets drone-heavy soundscapes at center-stage for a delicately hypnotic finale. Artwork by Berlin artist Nils Altland. 180gm.
