Anders Blickmann - Taktzeit
"Taktzeit" by Anders Blickmann is Con+ainer's return to Techno music releases in 2016. Anders Blickmann, born André Tejo, is a portuguese musician, radio host and journalist currently living in Berlin. Deeply inspired by nordic culture (Anders is a Scandinavian name), this release somewhat reflects that: cold, industrial sounds echoing on top of grooving, mutating but simple beats. It's definitely a minimal approach to Techno, cutting the fat and keeping the essential elements that already have a life of their own. Remixing "Tatkzeit" is Non Gravity Area, Klipar's abstract Techno moniker and Con+ainer's own boss Ludovic who spent the last two years releasing only as Cloche and Umbra. NGA turns Taktzeit into a broken-beat driven track, pushing the main hook to the background and engulfing it in delays to create this eerie track's atmosphere. Groove alert! Ludovic on the other hand recreates a denser "Taktzeit" and divides it into three main parts: the two minutes-long intro, the kick and punch bit in the middle and the dreamy outro with a long sustain pad. A track perfect to be the first one on your sets or the one to reset an audience's mood. The release is now available on all main digital stores including Juno, Beatport, DJTunes and many others. You can also preview the EP on our Soundcloud.
