Blasting his way into our series this week, Dutch producer Robin
Kampschoer revs up the engines and lifts us off to higher spheres of
consciousness through two hours of chiselled post-industrial sound
engineering. Exploring the confines of techno, somewhere at the junction
of proper raw, steely rhythms and further elevated ambience-scaping,
the RKM boss and STOOR alum swings the pendulum betwixt full-blown
warehouse-ready assault and inward-gazing escapism effortlessly.
Elegantly brutalist, his approach is both one of nuance and impact,
exalting and pensive in equal measure, never flinching in its quest for
the sweet spot between raging horsepower and nostalgia-soaked harmonics.
