recondite: hinterland

Hinterland is another step forward in Berlin-based producer Recondite's progression, maintaining a style all his own and acknowledging the finest moments in his previous releases. It's no small feat to incorporate one's observations of human nature against nature, and to lay it out in such a way that is cohesive, linear and sonically beautiful both up close and from a distance. "Characteristics of people's minds," he says. "Such as satisfied, frightened, calm, melancholic, sad, stoic, frustrated, strong, deep…they are captured in the sounds." Recondite's production career has only spanned a handful of years, but his versatility with electronic music as an expressive medium puts him beyond others with discographies twice as long. Lush, gorgeous, and vibrant are three words that can often describe his original productions, whether it's floating in a beatless ambience or driving a hard rhythm through the soundsystem of a nightclub or warehouse.
