Speicher 139

Description

“It’s been on my wishlist for a while that the incredibly talented Julienne Dessagne
does a techno EP for us,” Michael Mayer says. You can hear why, straight up, on
Speicher 139, as Dessagne’s project FantasCc Twins is finally let loose on
Kompakt’s storied series.

The key words: psychedelic acid trax. “False Index” is peeled back to core: a
fearsome rhythm, with an endlessly helixing synth pagern twisCng around your skull,
crinkling like cellophane and warping like burnt plasCc, while Dessagne’s
SprechsCmme floats above everything – detached but effortlessly percepCve.
“New Systems” is a new kind of Europe Endless – hypnoCc and lush, its deep drones
pinpricked by sonar bleep. “Uninhibited” is catchy in a way that only Dessagne can
make possible, its vocal tagoo burnt into your mind as it echoes through massive
architectures, tones dropping from scaffold and splashing at your feet as glitch-work
burrows its way up through the floor, directly into your earholes. Uninhibited?
Everything here’s simultaneously under control, all under the watchful, guiding eye of
Dessagne, and playfully, wildly out of control, ligle arrangements of phenomena let
loose to build new worlds. Organised chaos, and chaoCc organisaCon.
