Review: Prepare for an exhilarating techno experience with Speicher 125, the highly anticipated split EP featuring the exceptional talents of German producers and DJs Barnt and Michael Mayer. This release is a part of the renowned Speicher series, which stands as one of Kompakt's impressive V/A serials. Designed to ignite the peaktime dancefloor, the EP showcases two mesmerizing tracks: 'Teller' and 'Duration'. Both compositions exude a minimal and intense energy, reminiscent of the captivating style found in later DJ Koze tracks and evoking elements of film soundtrack techno. In "Teller," Barnt and Mayer unleash a synth-driven storm that builds tension and thrill. As percussion layers up against an incessant buzz, the track takes an immersive turn, immersing listeners in waves of dense texturology. 'Duration' surprises listeners with an enchanting blend of organic bells and captivating beats, delivering an irresistible sonic experience.
If She Says She Is A Healer, She Is A Healer - (9:16) 125 BPM
Review: Off the back that recent appearance for the illustrious Hinge Finger label run by Joy Orbison and Will Bankhead, techno deviant Barnt returns with a magnetic, and inimitably loose, EP for the imperceptible Holger imprint. We love the material that these guys put out, and this EP from Barnt feels like exactly the right territory for the label to explore. "A-Seite 1-5" opts for the beatless approach, immersing us into an open-world of minimalistic pads shifting and moulding into one another in a subtle sort of trance - excellent. The more representative Barnt flex comes through via "If She Says She Is a Healer, She Is A Healer", a cold, mesmerising techno bullet with a strange, twisted armoury of explorative synths recalling the Middle East. That's what it sounds like to us, anyway, but that's exactly what Barnt's music does; its vibe is ever-shifting, always in a state of flux and, of course, highly recommended.
