Transsektoral

barker and baumecker release their first album together for ostgut ton. the two berlin-based musicians have collaborated before, namely on the 'candyflip' ep for ostgut ton and 'the murder of crows' ep on the same label earlier this year, which was actually two different remakes of the 'crows' that appears on this album. barker released a solo ep earlier this year on his own leisure system label, showcasing a sound leaning towards multi-genre bass music, and also produces techno under the name voltek, releasing for labels like tresor, while baumecker used to run the labels freu_nd and freundinnen. the two are also closely linked with berghain, the berlin clubbing institution from which osgut ton is run: barker runs a night there called leisure system, while baumecker is a resident dj who's also done booking at the club. 'transsektoral' packs in 11 previously unreleased tracks. tempos and styles vary according to their creators' diverse backgrounds - it travels across the entire electronic music spectrum... reflecting different iterations of techno from all angles.
