Spectral Sound Spectral Sound
Spectral Sound was founded in 2000, at a time when Spectral's parent label Ghostly International moved into a more experimental pop direction. Spectral has been dedicated to cutting edge techno music ever since and has become one of the leading labels in the field with its ground-breaking releases by artists like Audion, Osborne, James T. Cotton, Bodycode, and many, many others.

Detroit’s Ryan Elliott follows up his well-received Ostgut debut with a single for Spectral Sound. 'Kicking Up' is a bass-heavy piece of reduced techno, characterised by short organ and vocal stabs, which the mysterious Stablo project complements with a housier remix. Sweet.

'Document' intends to be nothing less than 'the ultimate Spectral Sound manifesto', and were happy to assert it lives up to the claim. Hieroglyphic Being, Lawrence & Kassem Mosse, Boycode, and James T. Cotton all deliever stand-out tracks, and fresh faces like Gadi Mizrahi don't disappoint either.

Sascha Dive cranks a creeping techno order into Matthew Dear's elasticated experimental disco title track, taken from his Black City album. Pepping it up with a solid 4/4 with its ritualistic elements ebbing and drifting, the wild warped feel of the original is brilliantly tailored for the dancefloor. Bravo!
