Collection: Techno / Electronic

Berlin's heroic selector Hunee has started his own imprint named Lifetones, and it's inaugural release is the Archipelago EP by Hydromantic: a collaboration between Junior Boys' Matthew Didemus and German producer Martin Maischein (Sandbenders) that combines 'fourth-world acoustic rhythms with divergent techno futurism' to explore timbre, rhythm and space. From the tropical electro funk of the title track on the A side, to the hypnotic polyrhythmic minimalism of B side cut "Paranormalisation", which is followed by even more reductionist fare in the form of the off-kilter effort "Drip By Drip" - this is an impressive debut and we very much anticipate what the label has in store next.
