Reinhard Voigt 'Kontraste' (Kompakt Records)
Germany’s Kompakt Records has become a byword for consistency in the electronic music world. This month, the ever-dependable imprint welcomes back one of its most trusted producers, Reinhard Voigt. Having been with the label since the early 90s, anything he releases is usually a true reflection of its original ethos, and ‘Kontraste’ provides two cuts of bleeding-edge electro. ‘The Singing Saw’ is all fizzing synths and oscillating melodies as the producer delves deep into his subconscious, while B-side ‘Trust’ finds him going deeper and darker for some truly murky, dystopian electro that twists and turns in all the right places.
