Emptyset is a Bristol based production project formed by James Ginzburg, a.k.a. Ginz, boss of the Multiverse network of labels, and Paul Purgas, a longstanding electronic dj/collector and curator of this year's 'We Can Elude Control' compilation. Their collective agenda has been exploring techno music's diverse influences and compiling them to a studio template focused on tight production and detailed sound design. Inspired by the city's culture of bass lead production as well as the global resurgence of electronic music, the sound has been described as techno meets dubstep folded back onto techno again, a description which is perhaps the most insightful to date. The project owes credit to the classic releases of M-Plant, Sähko and Chain Reaction as well as more recent producers such as Alva Noto, Deathprod and Burial. Emptyset acts as a research project connecting the ideas of a modern dancefloor with experimental approaches to music and its design.
