105

Barcode: 880319867217 Adding to previous 12šes on Ostgut Ton and his own RK label fellow Neuköllner and Berghain resident Kobosil offers four new uncompromising Techno club tools. While all cuts on the 105 release share filthy, stone-cold, elemental rhythms  pounding, energetic and hypnotic 4/4 kick drum slaps  the devil is, like with all Kobosil productions, in the aesthetic details. š40000 L› uses gargling synth patterns and howling horns to dramatic effect; šBei Nacht H (178)› contrasts the kick with a harsh, tinny drumbeat and menacing melody pad, creating a nightmarish vibe. šBackmask N› on B1 offers heavily alienated vocal samples alongside rave-reminiscing synth stabs and staggered hi-hat percussion. šDerange› closes this four-tracker with grainy drone echoes and throbbing, sizzling synth pulses. Adding to Kobosil™s full-floor-focussed sonic repertoire 105 shows him from his darkest and most vigorous side yet  this 12š is a brute, in the most positive sense. 01 40000 L 02 Bei Nacht H (178) 03 Backmask N 04 Derange
