Ben Lukas Boysen's 'Alta Ripa' on Erased Tapes marks an exciting fusion of his signature ambient and orchestral style with techno elements. The result is a captivating, genre-blending experience. 'Ours' opens the EP with atmospheric, minimal techno, evolving slowly into a melodic builder that combines deep, pulsing rhythms with lush, expansive soundscapes. It's an evocative journey, showcasing Boysen's knack for layering emotion into his work. Other highlights include 'Mass', which ups the drama with cascading melodies and a seamless blend of ambient textures and deep beats, creating a cinematic feel. The track builds tension while remaining grounded in its rhythmic pulse. 'Nox' brings a strong, straightforward techno beat, injecting energy into the EP with its driving force and steady momentum. 'Mere' concludes the EP with a return to Boysen's orchestral roots, intertwining grand, cinematic sounds with his refined ambient style, closing the album on a sweeping, powerful note. 'Alta Ripa' demonstrates Boysen's mastery of combining genres, resulting in a highly detailed techno experience.
