Bleep

Marking the fourth instalment of the limited edition five-part Retrospektiv series, released throughout 2018 and 2019, Thomas Brinkmann reminds techno fans everywhere why he’s one of the greats — not that anyone needed reminding. Both ‘Dyr Bul Scyl’ and ‘Drops’ are truly menacing slices of buzzsaw dance music, while ‘Walk With Me’ and ‘Blackhill’ glean jazzier tones without ditching the electronic passages. ‘Tilt’ is a feat of minimal brilliance, magically finding the groove in the kind of visceral sound you hear when cleaning your ears.
