B2 Memo

Sales Notes:

Gautham Garg brings some serious minimal 90s high energy Midwestern techno heat with his first vinyl release under his CRATAN alias. Gautham already has many loop techno releases under his DECODER alias, including an EP on JEFF MILLS’ AXIS RECORDS, that have earned him accolades from MATRIXXMAN, LUKE SLATER, and the like. He’s part of the new wave of young DJs and producers taking techno to its next no-bullshit crest. He runs ESP COLLECTIVE alongside MAX WATTS, tastefully curating their events and releases alike…techno fast, hard, and anxiously hypnotic.

On “Boulder” you’ll find two sides of minimal techno at its finest. On the A side you have “Secondary” and the title track “Boulder”. These two cuts of up-tempo, minimal hyphy techno a la 90s JEFF MILLS, JOEY BELTRAM, and ROBERT HOOD will really bring the stomp out. Switch to the B side, and “Paragon” brings the techno 4/4 speed with a cranked up reggaeton undercurrent. Then “Memo” closes out the EP with a hypnotic techno banger that would fit snug in a BEN KLOCK Berghain set.

Supported by Richie Hawtin, Philip Sherburne, Setaoc Mass, Nikki Nair, Pascaal, Golden Medusa, Vincent Neumann, and more!

Written, produced, and mixed by Gautham Garg.

Mastered by Dietrich Schoenemann.

Design by Nick Owen.
