Christopher Biggins meets Ralph Hutter. Those were my initial impressions when I came across Stefan Betke one night in Edinburgh. A big loveable bear of a man. I've always been a fan of his expert experiments in hazed out glitchy dub and watching him play was like watching someone mend a clock. All intricate movement with bits sprawled out everywhere. Here is his first release on his new label, the magnificently named Pole. If you've heard his music before you won't get any horrible suprises but what you will get is some expertly fashioned crackly dub oozing a lovely warm feel that makes me feel all excited inside. The B side is an even sprightlier composition that nods towards the dancefloor with an almost reggae vibe. Its great to have the old chap back and this is a superb release.
* As the next step in his evolution as a legendary producer, Stefan Betke is founding a new artist label named “Pole.” Made for the music of Pole, this new imprint will keep Betke’s large back catalogue available, as well as give his forthcoming releases an autonomous structure for experimentation and creativity.
* For over a decade, Stefan Betke has been working as a label owner, publisher and mastering engineer, contributing his experience to the development of electronic music. *The artist label “Pole” is intended to create a place where Pole ́s original and unique sound can be developed further, and combined with new production methods and ideas.In the second half of 2011, pole will re-release his full back catalogue digitally, including classical records such as “1,2,3,” “Steingarten” and “Steingarten remixes,” as well as his new music on a series of 12 inches released on vinyl and digital.
* As Pole puts it: “My new music will sound very warm, has a lot of bass and stands in a strong relation to my musical history.”
