Cementing their 25th release, Cologne-based record label Minimood gear up to issue the 7-track ‘Aeon’ EP from Vienna-based producer Tobias Oliver. In keeping with the occasion, the cover illustrates Tillman Lauterbach’s plate printing techniques on terrestrial limestones.
Having composed with his supergroup Datawelt and released dancefloor-ready armadas on Superdisko for several years, Tobias Oliver brings together a team of producers to remix ‘Aeon’, providing a fusion of moody ambient ballads and straight-edge techno to create a reverent tribute to the dub techno dynasty. Contributors include Bureau B’s regular Die Wilde Jagd, AU Cheek, Berlin-based producer Ray Okpara, JS, Kompakt’s Anton Kubikov and Bluetrain.
Our pick is Anton Kubikov‘s remix – a streamlined piece of dub techno ornamented with acid-infused bass and sluggish yet almost human-like modulation unsettling the atmosphere presided over by ultra-filtered kick drums. In a matter of seconds, Kubikov quietly pierces the unconscious mind with a dimly echoed pendulum of disembodied lethargy.
‘Aeon’ EP is scheduled for release on 7th June on Intimate Inanimate. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
