One of the most noteworthy producers to recently emerge from Berlin's sprawling techno scene is Mike Dehnert, DJ, producer and owner of the increasingly well known Fachwerk label. Striking a balance between deep dub-techno elements and the raw energy typical for Berlin's Tresor-style techno, Dehnert's releases for Clone or 6ONE6 have been gratefully received as a breath of fresh air amidst an abundance of soulless and overproduced dance-floor productions.

nice 4-tracker, pure dehnert techno-quality.
This EP is featured in Update #069:
Dexter, Mike Dehnert, 2562, Marcel Dettmann
Here comes a quick run-down of excellent releases that don't fall into a single genre, yet should appeal to anyone with a taste for cutting-edge dance music using elements of Detroit techno, Chicago house and UK dubstep.
This is what we feel futuristic more...

Oblique
(Track 02 on this EP)
zero" exclusive! Four raw and gritty jams by Berlin's Mike Dehnert, but roughly hewn as they are these tracks comprise some of his best material to date, fusing melancholic dub chords with stumbling grooves and a rumbling low end. Title track 'Oblique' is our particular favourite. Don't miss.
