Hot on the heels of the success of the Gas Nah und Fern box set last year, Kompakt have seen fit to follow up with another dip into Wolfgang Voigt's hefty back catalogue, this time focusing on his Studio 1 moniker and more specifically the self-titled CD that set out to compile some of the highlights from the vinyls. Prices for the original have steadily inflated over time as tends to be the case with high grade shit like this so get while the going's good! This stuff differs quite a lot from the leafy Gas project in sound, being far more your cold minimal techno sort of fare with heavy nods towards dub in the highly addictive basslines and even the name of the project itself. This sort of thing doesn't come much better and I'm left fully expecting more on the horizon.. Maybe Mike Ink'll be up next, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a reissue of Massstab 1:5 before too long.* Kompakt couldn’t be happier to announce the return of this long out of print CD collection from the famed STUDIO 1 series.
* Hot on the heels of the celebrated GAS box set release "NAH UND FERN" (KOMPAKT CD 66), this CD is an opportunity to glimpse into a legendary series that is celebrated for being the root and origin of German minimal techno.
* "STUDIO 1" comprises of edited highlights from the nameless colored STUDIO 1 vinyl series recorded by Wolfgang Voigt in the mid/late ’90’s. Cologne artist Wolfgang Voigt’s (aka GAS, MIKE INK, M:I:5, etc) most celebrated aliases, Studio 1 is not so much a title but rather a series of ten influential records.
* Beginning with the Green record in 1995, Voigt began releasing one Studio 1 record after another, with each untitled record bearing only a different color to differentiate it from its predecessor.
* The records featured a unique style of ultra-minimal techno, characterized by a palette of bouncy beats at varying frequencies, intricately arranged into a spacious yet complex multi-layered rhythm. This palette of bouncy beats owed more to warm dub bass beats than crisp percussive bass beats, instantly differentiating itself from the traditional sounds of techno.
