Sender once again draws its circle wider, welcoming two artists making their
first appearances on the label. Argentina's Barem and Berlin's Matt John each
tackle tracks by Benno Blome, putting their own unmistakable stamps on Benno's
dark, slightly sinister brand of techno. Having moved to Berlin recently, Barem
(Mauricio Barenbuem) has risen fast since he began releasing on the Unfoundsound
netlabel in 2005, developing a slinky, percussive style on releases for labels
like Foundsound and Minus. On his remix of Benno's "Rumburak" (Sender 075), he
goes deeper than usual, twisting the original into a weirdly funky low-end
monster, as gnarled as the branches of a haunted
tree. The LA singer Big Bully is the star of the show: what were merely whispers
in Benno's track have become a full-fledged assault of soulful growls and
croons. A huge, heaving bass line pushes the track forward as the soundfield
fills with dry, staccato drums and dubbed-out drones. Talk about a powerful slab
of funk. Benno, Barem and Bully, we like the way you move. On the flip, Matt
John takes on Benno's "Sarahtov Airlines" (Sender 065). Remaining faithful to
the contours of the original, Matt keeps the track's signature bleeps, folding
them into a long, spiraling groove. Clanging cymbals and crisp handclaps
reference an old-school vibe, but everything else comes straight out of Matt's
alternate universe: swirling voices, weird whoops and squeals, warped
percussion. Over nine minutes long, the track climbs and dives like an airplane
being tossed from gust to gust, but it's a smooth, hypnotic ride. Wherever
"Sarahtov Airlines" flies, it's guaranteed to take you far, far away.
