various: zehn/sechs

Standalone edition of Zehn | Sechs, originally included as one of ten 12"s in the 2015 Ostgut Ton | Zehn box released for the Ostgut Ton label's 2015 ten-year anniversary. Barker & Baumecker's playful ten-minute gem "Love Is A Battlefield" is a gentle nod to Pat Benatar, with pop on the one hand and abstract UK breakbeat on the other. The title of "Stromlinien" by Uwe Schmidt aka Atom TM translates to "streamlines," which captures the essence of this reduced but cleverly evolving and pumping analog synth dub techno piece. Anthony Parasole's "Heartbeat" goes straight for a speedy, muscular kick at about 132 BPM.
