Dance floor taskmaster REINHARD VOIGT is at it again, dropping a new set of raw, willful techno cuts that follow his much-acclaimed solo release REISEN & SPEISEN (KOMPAKT 338) and a stirring split EP effort with Michael Mayer on TIME IS RUNNING (KOMPAKT 328). He even found time in his busy Kompakt schedule to throw in a rare remix for El_Txef_A on rising underground imprint Forbidden Colours. Voigtâ„¢s latest outing KONTRASTE fits snugly in the artistâ„¢s tradition of powerful, minimalistic techno with a headbanging twist: oscillating between pure movement, and monolithic, abstract riff, the a sideâ„¢s THE SINGING SAW interweaves several rugged synth motives around a stoic, empowering bassdrum, while b side jam TRUST takes the scenic route, building its simple, yet highly effective lead sounds up into a towering grinder with a touch of silkiness. As weâ„¢ve grown to expect from REINHARD VOIGT, the whole is always greater than the sums of its parts, with these new recordings again proving his mastery of all things banging.
