| Posted: 15 Dec 2008 05:30 AM CST Ben Klock has revealed details of his forthcoming debut artist album 'One', which will be released early next year through Ostgut Ton. The Berlin-based producer has assembled a 13 track offering of typically grand, Berghain-styled techno, that also makes reference to dubstep and ambient. “I haven’t had a prefab concept really." said Klock on the album. "All I wanted was to work on it as an album. The piece’s atmospheres in itself and in relation to each other were of greater concern than thoughts like ‘do I need another ambient track, or do I need a kick drum to make this work in a club?’ In principle, all of it’s techno, but I don’t see ‘One’ as a pure club album.” |
