The Cologne duo of Christopher Bleckmann and Hannes Wenner have been bubbling under for almost a decade, inserting their deliciously formed brand of minimal techno mostly into the M_nus discography since 2001. As evidenced by their Bipolar album from earlier in the year, minimal techno long players don’t necessarily equate to a cobbled together clutch of dance floor ennui. Their second album showed layers of depth and a penchant for subtle but striking melodies. Today our download comes courtesy of the the first remix package from the album, with “Normalnull” getting extra attention from Oliver Ho under his Raudive guise. He treats the track to a sparse but gleaming makeover, polishing its raw edges to twinkle menacingly as notes reverberate throughout the room. Our thanks to Mr Ho and Niederflur for the remix.
