RHYTHM AND SOUND- With The Artists
Toiling away behind a smoky veil of virtual anonymity, Berlin's Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus have gradually built a formidable reputation among denizens of the mainland European electronica underground. Missives from their dusty, dusky netherworld have been appearing as minimally-labeled slabs of vinyl regularly for the past decade. First, as Basic Channel, they pioneered a much-copied style of static-swathed dub-techno. More recently, as Rhythm and Sound, the duo has extrapolated upon its early riddim theories, inventing a whole new digital reggae dialect in the process. The Artists features a shocking array of superb roots vocalists playing fast and loose over some of the warmest and most expansive low-end maneuvers we've born witness to in years. Righteous stuff.
