What is minimal? It is about the sounds between the notes, the "space between" beats, and stripped-down arrangements. Here at Ektoplazm we mainly use "minimal" to designate techno releases with the aforementioned approach.

02 - Inflation (127 BPM)

From calculating mechanical grooves to warm waves of bass, Søren outlines the contours of his emerging style with a wide range of approaches. All tracks written and produced by Søren Nordström. Mixing and mastering by Dan Driscoll. Additional editing and artwork by Alexander Synaptic.

Point (Martin Marian) returns to Digital Diamonds with Waveform, the rapid follow-up to Deepending, released earlier this year. Drawing on a deep reserve of minimal grooves and sweeping atmospheres, this album flows through slick dance floor techno bombs into smooth, soothing downtempo excursions and back again. Open your heart and feel the hidden emotionality of German electronics craftsmanship! Artwork by Sonic with photography by Antal.
