Monoloc Debuts on Hotflush With “TrySome,” A Slice of Intoxicatingly Ethereal Dub Techno

German techno producer, Monoloc, has shared “TrySome,” a track off of his debut record for British artist Scuba‘s Hotflush imprint. The Another Thing EP marks a rare departure for Monoloc, AKA Sascha Borchardt, from Frankfurt-based techno veteran Chris Liebing‘s label CLR, on which he has released one album and six EPs in the last six years.

With “Try Some,” we find Borchardt exploring an intoxicatingly claustrophobic terrain of ethereal atmospherics, insistently unresolved chords, and a pitched-down vocal sample rendered indecipherable by cut-and-paste manipulation. Once the mood is set with an extended intro, things subtly pick up steam with the introduction of a distantly reverberating industrial creak alongside punchy, greyscale dub techno stabs. Check out the track below, be sure to pick up your copy of Another Thing (out now), and stay tuned for more exciting work from Monoloc in the coming weeks.
