Esteemed German producer Recondite set to drop the ‘INDIFFERENT’ LP, which he will be launching with a release party hosted by NDSM at ADE on October 18th.
“The word INDIFFERENT reflects what I often felt in recent times. Not just a feeling but a desire for things less pointed. It seems to be a general zeitgeist phenomenon but as I am part of the electronic music scene, I reflect a lot about what is happening within this genre.
There has been an urge for either really hard, driving, fast and aggressive, or the extreme opposite. Catchy vocals with a pop music feel, very direct and relatable melodies, soft grooves, piano chords. Either way – it feels like it has to be very distinctive – aggressive or soft – as long as it is extreme. It seems to be a moment in time where in whatever you do – it HAS to be in your face.
All of this is fine of course – but never was my nature or personality. There is a reason why I chose the adjective Recondite as an artist name because I could identify with the meaning of it…hidden, obscure, not in the obvious.” – Recondite
‘INDIFFERENT’ opposes this Zeitgeist and represents driving techno with minimalistic melodic atmospheres, deep, haunting vibes, reserved yet strong and decisive within its own language, floating between melancholic desperation and hopefulness – music that lives right in between the hard and the soft… the aggressive and the neat… not black or white. Not separated but… INDIFFERENT!
You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Tide’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
