While most people were sleeping Wednesday night/Thursday morning here on the East Coast of the USA, Speicher – the sub-label of Cologne, Germany-based Kompakt Records that is dedicated to putting out quality DJ-friendly techno – uploaded snippets from Patrice Bäumel’s new two-sided EP, Speicher 85. Patrice Bäumel is a Dutch DJ/Producer who describes his sound as “techno music for grown-ups.”
“Lowrider” has an effected sound that changes as the track progresses. This is definitely the weirder of the two tracks, but that’s just how we like it here at Blisspop:

“The Vanishing” takes an effected atmospheric vocal sample and pairs it beautifully with a powerful bass line progression and percussion to ground the track. Listen below:

Though the Speicher 85 EP snippet was uploaded in the middle of the night, don’t sleep on it! Expect both of these tracks to be played out at techno shows this Spring/Summer. The Speicher 85 EP will be released on May 3.
