German producer Thomas Burkhardt delivers a six-track EP of contemporary modular techno on the LIN/LOG imprint, aptly titled «Weiter». Drawing inspiration from the sounds of Cristian Vogel, Atom TM, and Sven Väth, Burkhardt’s production is an ode to the music he grew up with, but also looks forward to the future. The EP is a call to action for listeners to remember their spiritual roots and fight their inner demons, rather than sacrificing their inner thoughts to algorithms in search of redemption and peace.

The tracks on «Weiter» showcase Burkhardt’s impressive command of his modular gear, with each track seamlessly flowing into the next. The opening track «Veränderung» sets the tone with glitched shutter percussion and hypnotic textural elements, while «Fluchttier» brings in sharper percussion and a unique drumsbass combination. «Sonne» is a standout track, with its moody atmosphere and intricate shuffling percussion, while «Echo Echo» is a more stripped-back affair with a heavy swing and sci-fi sound effects. «Wach auf» is a perfect interlude, with its eerie atmospherics and twisted samples, before the EP’s title track «Weiter» brings the EP to a close with its driving beats and more upfront nature.

«Weiter» is a well-crafted and thought-provoking EP that will satisfy fans of modular techno and experimental electronic music. Burkhardt’s dedication to analog gear shines through in the intricate production and attention to detail, making this release a must-listen for anyone looking for something fresh and unique in the techno landscape.
