Album
The next full-length from techno tastemakers Delsin is co-released by the man who made it, Morphosis (born Rabih Beaini), on his own Morphine Records, as well as by close associate M>O>S. Entitled "What Have We Learned", the Lebanese-born producer’s album is due in April 2011. Keen followers of techno will already have heard some of the offerings from this album, as both "Androids Among Us" and "Dirty Matter" were remixed by T++ and Newworldaquarium for a limited edition white label late last year. The excitement surrounding that release was palpable enough, but get lost in a full-length Morphosis experience and you enter a whole new world of techno excellence… Kicking off with the Redshape-channelling, misty, slo-techno march and buried percussive clatter of "Silent Screamer", the album builds through a plethora of grainy landscapes. They're sometimes dense with a dusty static, sometimes lit up by a female vocal or occasionally paired with a roundhouse kick, but always sound rooted in some real (albeit far off and desolate) world. The hum and buzz of Beaini’s bottom ends have instruments and synths spiralling round as the only reference points in an otherwise engulfing sonic fog. Churning the listener round and round with his confident, assertive grooves, Morphosis’ dark and long house and techno fusions explore - like few others can - engaging new ground with their every subtle turn. Influences range from krautrock via new wave but, importantly, all are digested by M
