quête:dotwav

Taking Under Black Helmet and TWR72 on board, KONFLKT presents its 3rd vinyl release 'Form Reality'. Two diverse vocal-driven originals by dotwav set the foundation. Under Black Helmet stomps his no-nonsense bassline over the title track while TWR72 shakes up 'Expecting You' into a siren-laced techno jam.

dotwav returns to their own KONFLKT imprint with Insanity. Both I/Y and Cadency aka Hector Oaks reshape the originals into individual sound concepts rounding off a complex four-track EP.

Heading straight towards peak time Insanity sets the pace. The raw yet punchy destination that follows on from a hypnotic synth exploration receives a deep tripped-out remix treatment from Berlin-based duo I/Y. Distance ventures into an emotive dimension that channels melancholy and anticipation into a compelling techno ballad. Charging the B-side with urgent heat, Cadency transforms dotwav's composition into a sustained power house for the floor.

The EP s driving force comes from the stripped-down approach that has become a trademark of Shkedul s sound. Contained in its components, it is the perfect layering of full kicks, liquid bleeps and spectral hats that elevate the originals to higher level. Label owners dotwav add the full stop to the record with an atmospheric remix.

For the third vinyl compilation on KONFLKT, dotwav invites renowned producers Elad Magdasi, Gonzalo MD and Kitkatone. The label is proud to present different artists with very distinct styles from all over the world.

For the first vinyl compilation this year, dotwav invites three techno heavyweights that need no further introduction: Kangding Ray, Denise Rabe and Mario Berger deliver their own version of a trippy peak time track. All the productions catapult us into the future and right onto the floor.

VA: various artists, various styles. Six artists tell six different stories. Music is not uniformity.
