Both the album and track titles as well as the artwork by Arnim Tölke [Ectoplasma (Oderbruch)] reflect Pawlowitz’s deeply personal associations with the borderland’s marshy landscape, as well as enormous political and historical changes the region underwent as the last Eastern front during World War II – and, later, following the dissolution of the GDR. Nevertheless, \u003ci\u003eOderbruch \u003c\/i\u003eis not a concept album. Instead, it’s an ambivalent ode to the area in which Pawlowitz’s family has lived for generations. It’s a musical reflection on place and personal history: meeting up at the local gas station, a view to the water, techno rattling the closed windows of cars peeling out toward Berlin or the next local party, cruising along rural parkways flanked by trees with fruit ripe for picking, past weeping willows and abandoned factories where industry once thrived. Outside buzzes with the sounds of nature inextricably linked with childhood memories, but also a landscape defined by the bloody defeat of the Nazis at the Battle of Seelow, ushering in the fall of Berlin and with it, the entire fascist regime. The album’s nine tracks are inspired by the intertwined nature of the subjective and historical, which ring through Shed’s idiosyncratic take on breaks, bass, techno, symphonic ventures, ambient and hardcore. But unlike Shed’s previous records, \u003ci\u003eOderbruch\u003c\/i\u003e incorporates broad pastoral landscapes – left behind and returned to. Both fit Shed, who under various aliases (Head High, Hoover, Wax, The Higher, WK7, Equalized, The Traveller) has long influenced a number of dance music scenes in Berlin and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ostgut Ton","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50868429979979,"sku":"1078617","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/ce86d8c1-46ae-4bca-b6e4-331903e8e5bc_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1732129876"},{"product_id":"applications-ii","title":"Applications II","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCross Ball EFX Pounders\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ilian Tape","offers":[{"title":"12\" - Black","offer_id":56808847180107,"sku":"R2087-5353","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/ceb099cb-615c-472a-e123-106384b30556.jpg?v=1773655067"},{"product_id":"rave-echoes","title":"Rave Echoes","description":"\u003cp\u003eShed makes his first appearance on Dekmantel with \u003cem\u003eRave Echoes\u003c\/em\u003e — a supple, mesmerising album of angular techno caught between the heat of peak time and the time-blurred hours after the club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA combination of dreamlike atmospherics and rugged propulsion takes on many forms across the album.
