Known for his knack for crafting captivating and emotionally charged techno, Jonathan Kaspar finally returns to Cocoon Recordings with his third contribution, Twofold Split. One, yet two releases that once again showcase his extraordinary talent through condensed techno with a hint of trance, weaving driving rhythms and atmospheric textures in a way that feels innovatively progressive.
Hypnotically floating, this might be the most fitting way to describe what Jonathan Kaspar unfolds before us here. Rolling percussive grooves seamlessly interlock with the spooky siren tone, gradually merging with the alchemy of “Yah” as it bursts into the mix. When the climax arrives, there's a raw intensity in the air - the track feels like it's bending and stretching, then piercing and twisting until it breaks, but never loses its purpose and remains anchored to its deep, pulsating groove. On the other hand, “Silver Lines” stands as a counterpart, offering a contrast in both sound and atmosphere. With its minimalistic arrangement, the track initially nestles in softly, lulling the listener into its world, only to tighten its grip as a synth sequence gradually opens its cutoff filter, cutting through the calm, penetrating the mind, and transforming the atmosphere from tranquil to tense.[info sheet from distribution]
