There's some stripped and textured dub techno featuring Levon Vincent on "Can You See" and a jagged industrial experiment with fellow label mate Wincent Kunth on "Possible Step". Elsewhere, he dabbles in classic electro territory from Das Kombinat on "Waschmaschine", industrial proto-techno on Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia's "War Chant" (Marcel Dettmann edit) and some new exclusives from MDR HQ in the form of some interesting collaborations. The Berghain resident merges new takes on classics such as Cybersonik's "Technarchy" (Marcel Dettmann Third mix) and his remix of Infiniti's (aka Juan Atkins) "Skyway" alongside Mystic Bill's classic "U Won't C Me". Review: Berlin techno legend Marcel Dettmann is up next for !k7, compiling their latest edition of the esteemed DJ Kicks series. Oh, and did we mention every tune has been made for this collection?
Perhaps the most exciting part of this delightful aural sedative, though, is the inclusion of heads more associated with pounding club adventures, for example Helena Hauff. Then caps it all off by hiring none other than chill legend Mixmaster Morris to put the lot together into one seamless set (available on the DL you get for nothing with the physical compilation).Ī project of huge proportions, there are some very familiar names here to anyone with a penchant for contemplative ambience-creating tunes - Julianna Barwick, Sigur Los, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Suzanne Ciani, to list but a few.
Review: Ahead of Our Time, the original label Coldcut ran and now run alongside the ever-fantastic (in fact, never been better than it is right now) Ninja Tune, takes a dash of its sister imprint's artist roster, drafts a fine selection of external talent from the drone and ambient world, and unleashes an epic 29 track journey into the spiritual end of electronic music.
