CMU Approved
Approved: Cristian Vogel
By Paul Vig | Published on Monday 12 September 2016
Cristian Vogel’s third LP for the Shitkatapult label – ‘The Assistenz’ – finds him on top form. Indeed, the Chilean born musician, who formed Super Collider with Jamie Lidell before the turn of the millennium, throws us a large slice of cerebral tech.
The latest addition to a vast array of output – which has included a number of collaborations with choreographer Gilles Jobin and plenty of remixing and production projects, in addition to his own impressive stack of records – ‘The Assistenz’ is not instantly accessible, but the soundscapes are well worth sticking with.
From beatsy to minimal but with an undercurrent of brooding darkness, it’s a record that reveals itself slowly. Listen to the fantastic ‘Cubic Haze’, which takes us to old skool electro pastures akin to Drexciya with a little mid-90s Carl Cox thrown in.
