Through a string of impressive releases on Intec, Bush Records, MB Elektronics, Complexed Records and KMS, Düsseldorf’s Drumcomplex have gained the valuable support of techno greats – Carl Cox, Adam Beyer, Slam, Paco Osuna, Joseph Capriati, Danny Tenaglia, Marco Carola and The Advent, to name just a few, regularly feature tracks from the duo in their sets. Brothers Arnd and Daniel Reichow, who form Drumcomplex are now set to release their debut album Perfection Is In Imperfection on Complexed Ltd.
Perfection Is In Imperfection is inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, a world view whose focus lies in the appreciation of imperfection, of that which is simple, rough or incomplete. Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.
This ancient concept of revering graceful imperfections finds its interpretation in the music of Drumcomplex by ways of its apparent candor and its simple effectiveness. From the moody chords of opening track Venus to the samba funk of Medusa, through the conjurations of If You Can Be Mine (a collaboration with Border Community’s Misstress Barbara), and the big room euphoria of album closer Aphrodite – the tracks all suggest an opportunity to see the manifest beauty behind the battering walls of sound and the unassuming grace behind the heaviness of the beats.
The sound of Drumcomplex takes its cues from the heyday of German techno – bold, powerful but with a distinct contemporary flair. While Arnd assumes the public face of the project and mans the decks, Daniel applies his expertise in the studio. An increasingly busy touring schedule has seen Drumcomplex hit the decks on a worldwide scale with recent debuts in Australia, UAE and India and a soon to be summer highlight when Drumcomplex debut in Ibiza on the legendary terrace of Space, playing alongside Carl Cox for the Intec boss’ final season on the White Island.
Drumcomplex will release Perfection Is In Imperfection on their Complexed Ltd imprint, October 7th 2016.
