Rise And Shine

Rise And Shine sees Kuschnereit fusing his deep, industrial aesthetic as Substance with the resonant bass-heavy leanings of DJ Pete, as evidenced on the title track’s off-kilter metallic riddims and multiple, interlaced SH-101 and Prophet 5 melodies. From there, potential set-closer Countdown blasts off with relentlessly rattling, scraping breaks, hissing German vox and big chords. The compact explorations of Bird Cave and Distance offer a more atmospheric take on bass and rhythm, while EP closer Cruising re-explores the uncanny, Berlin deep techno cosmos Kuschnereit has helped define, this time in denser form.
