Klubnacht

As Dialog, Finnish duo Samuel van Dijk and Rasmus Hedlund use modular FM synthesis within a minimalist dub-techno framework. This month, Kynant releases Symbol of the Land, their decidedly beat-driven album based on live mixing. In its creation, they repeatedly re-recorded sounds, directly applied effects and translated digital processes into analog soundscapes. The smoky vocals of their regular collaborator, Jamaican singer Benji, meet the unmistakable voice of dub-techno pioneer Paul St. Hilaire aka Tikiman. Together, they let an interplay of rhythm, space and sound unfold, carried by warm, laid-back grooves. For this weekend's Klubnacht, Dialog and Benji will perform live at Säule. Under the pseudonym Ketiov, Wojciech “Voitek” Tarańczuk dedicates himself to a meticulous reconstruction of classic house forms. His musical upbringing in Szczecin, Poland, as well as his many years of work as part of the duo Catz ’N Dogz, form the basis of their production style, weaving influences from Chicago with organic sample textures and broken rhythms.
