Bolth 'Absence of Mind' on Awen Records
On his release 'Absence of Mind', Bolth layers airy pads across a rolling, well-packed rhythm. The track is more chord than drum, but its percussion remains busy throughout, with a subtle give under its peaks and an open, bright top end. The result is melodic techno that stays loose, lit by sound design that feels less linear and more like a conversation between the analog and digital.
Awen Records describe the work as drawing "inspiration from the rock of the 70s and 80s as well as the melodic tendencies of House Music, Bolth ingeniously merges the roots of Techno into a creative and organic sound. His music is rich in groove, sound design, analog synths, and a digital complexity. Bolth is not just a producer and DJ, but also a multi-instrumentalist who lives and breathes music daily."
The 126 BPM cut has earned a spot in Massano's Guest Curator chart, coming in at 11th of 18 on 14 Nov. It's a considered track from a producer whose range takes in instruments as much as machines, making for a subtly human take on the genre.
