When the Aquaplano records were first released in 2008 and 2009, emerging out of
Hardwax with little fanfare, they were distinctly out of step with the way
techno appeared to be heading. The minimal detour was reaching its logical
endpoint, and producers were returning to the 1990s for inspiration, with
Berghain and Sandwell District at the vanguard of a new techno movement. What
the Aquaplano sessions shared in common were slower BPMs and finding inspiration
in the 1990s, but there they parted ways. The influences these Italians were
drawing on were rather different, returning to tribal rhythms and ambient
textures to sketch out a much more heady, psychedelic form of techno. The
results were a perfect balance of hypnotic beats and swirling atmosphere geared
for a broken-in dancefloor or the hazy afterhours. Across these two records
Dozzy and Nuel would go a long way towards creating the template for a brand of
deep, atmospheric techno that has become much more prominent in the years since.
And while many have sought to imitate this sound, few - if any - have matched
what first emerged from the Aquaplano sessions. After only being available in a
very limited run, it is fitting that the sonic blueprints provided by Dozzy and
Nuel are now available again - and much more widely - at a time when their
influence is as strong as it has ever been.
