colored vinyl version - Recondite’s Dwell is a moving, meditative affair. The Berlin artist has very successfully ridden the wave of melodic techno at its crest, helping to push it into different spaces. He was one of the more consistent producers over the past decade, putting out a new project almost every year. Now to kick off the 2020’s he returns to Ghostly for this album Dwell, following his 2013 record Hinterland on the same label and the fit couldn’t be better. Delicate, shimmering melodies play out over crisp, propulsive beats. A tightly-coiled urgency unwinds over murky electronics. Woven throughout all this are ultra-subtle field recordings and hip-hop influenced beats. Dwell is as big on moody atmospherics as it is on toe-tapping beats. Recondite does not disappoint and fans of smart, organic techno will find lots to love here.
