Ⓣexture No.7 invites you to dive deeper into the hazy sphere of distorted, piercing, tenderly rattling and rumbling lo-fi sounds. Deejay Astral, Raär and Ozel AB will illuminate this realm with opalescent acoustic shades, expressing their vision of raw and rough-edged contemporary House Music. Each intrinsic in his personal approach and spectrum, the three joining forces promises a compelling encounter. Our residents I/O and Zulian can’t wait to start the nightly trip: an acid-fuelled, bumpy ride to a hidden place underground where sonic love-affairs neither need control nor mastering.

♞ Deejay Astral

Over the past year, Samuel Walker has moved from the bassy, blustering garage house bombs he released as Palace on DJ Haus’ imprints UTTU and Hot Haus towards a more reduced aesthetic and a deep, slow-paced feel. Under his new moniker Deejay Astral, the young Englishman still highlights complex, absorbing basslines and a characteristic rhythmic shakiness, ensnared by hissed, stretched or reverberating vocal samples - all of this coming along expertly furnished with a rough and fringy sound design. However, in his newest works on Steel City Dance Discs or Who Knows these elements are built around a magnetic center made out of a finessed substance which takes shape both as an introspective, emotive excursion and as an unstoppable force to move your butty. No less has to be expected from his beloved, tightly balanced DJ sets.

♞ Raär

Raär has managed to become a valid stand out artist in the field of modern lo-fi-focused House Music. Alongside a consistent string of releases on labels like House Plants, GASP or Who’s Susan, Soundcloud offers a lot more material not lacking in what makes the Frenchman’s approach prominent and immune to the danger of formulaicity in a rapidly growing scene: it’s pervasively intimate, restless and extensive. There’s a demanding pressure dominating it. Kick drums tremble, basslines bend over backwards, crystalline hi-hats seem to divide and unify in an omnipresent longing. Yet the emotive and narrative content of Raär’s tracks is neither random nor rudimentary. His works feel well-thought through and its heavy, shattering sound design is luckily accompanied by a songwriting as intricate as precise. It’s Raär’s first gig in Germany. We’re excited.

♞ Ozel AB

Ozel AB from London has released two striking records on the infamous Lobster Theremin imprint - both diverse, playful and pretty electrifying. There’s something remarkably vivid operating in those tracks - a feathery urge and excitement, like the allurement of innocent, juvenile crimes, reckless and dreamy yet fully present. Yes, you can hear Acid, rough and square-edged basslines, rattling snares, frenetic hi-hats and quite a bit of noise. However, nothing here is simply efficient or works as a useable, neatly crafted lo-fi tool. No break or drop is foreseeable. These tracks take turns, crash, mutate, change color, pulse and dynamics or - like it’s the case with the magnificent „Needler“ - explode in a driving 60 second long outro that would be worth at least another full side of the record. Ozel AB plays live, which undoubtedly feels like the best way to present this audacious music.
