BK 011EP
|
Mehmet Irdel aka Løt.te (pronounced "loat-tey") follows his 2014 debut on The Bunker New York (Pressure Chant EP (BK 004EP)). "I'm interested in techno that feels both masculine and feminine at the same time... These days, most techno feels either very intricate and clean, or very noisy and macho" --Irdel. "History of Discipline," built on heavy, swinging kick drums and shuffling hi-hats, builds to an enormous climax before winding down into a rattle of metallic percussion. "A Mutable Constant" features a rubbery bassline and steadily building background percussion -- until a moody, longing synthesizer pad takes center stage.

BK 004EP
|
Løt.te is Mehmet Irdel, a Turkish-born artist who has been a friend of The Bunker for a long time. He's currently based in Brooklyn, where he co-runs Rote Productions, a company that releases music, graphic works, video compositions, and photography, and takes a strong stance against the concept of intellectual property. Irdel's early work consisted of soundscapes, noise, and power electronics. Now, he's trying his hand at techno, with incredible results. "Pressure Chant" has immense energy and a Surgeon-like shuffle. "Private Transgressions" juxtaposes a dark, cinematic mood with a dubby bass line and synth stabs.
