dj stingray: kern vol 4

ltd repress. To feel the future is to feel the fall into time. For the fourth instalment in Tresor's Kern mix series, DJ Stingray (Urban Tribe/Drexciya) presents a device for decoding time in all directions, a sonic prism that refracts our senses into auxiliary components of a total future-rush. With a far-reaching selection that has been worked into his own unique form, DJ Stingray wraps the listener's vertigo around a gritty pneumatic bump with high-velocity swing. His mixing style, prepared for hostile engagements as it is, throttles techno into counter-gravity forces. Wading through a specialized cross-section of Detroit's own dancefloor contagions as well as the contaminated feedback signals from across the global aqua plains, the mix can be summed up in just one word: hectic. Raw, caustic, synthetic rhythm-code pumps frenzy itself through a cascading geothermal fog. Never giving away the cryptographic keys, DJ Stingray works you harder than your heart, adapting your biology to a fractal timeline of viscous systems. Discovery, or uncovering, has to do with what already exists actually or virtually; it is therefore certain to happen sooner or later with enough sweat in the club. And as Kern Vol. 4 attests to, DJ Stingray has the access codes and the stealth sense to make a place of a space, and to let it fall into time. Seven more key titles of the covert assault make up this vinyl edition. Double LP version comes in a gatefold sleeve and features: NRSB-11, Dynarec, Professor X, Herva, A-F-X, Gesloten Cirkel, Anna Meredith, LoneLady, and Syncom Data.
