OAKE 'Paysage Dépaysé' (Stroboscopic Artefacts)
OAKE are German duo Eric Goldstein and Konstanze Bathseba Zippora, and their remit is techno that stretches out beyond the dancefloor to explore a more experimental side to the music. ‘Paysage Dépaysé’ is a potent mix of scintillating atmospherics that will send shivers down your spine alongside typically tough beats and a haunting vocal. The voice alone is bound to stay with you for a while afterwards; you may even end up hearing it in your sleep. This is an impressive piece that epitomises what OAKE are all about: the juxtaposition between humanity and technology, cold yet soulful.
