Obergman operates somewhere in the space between deep electronics, Detroit-influenced machine music and late-night dancefloor hypnosis. Since the mid 90’s, his unique explorations in sound and groove has seen him release on such esteemed labels as Skam, Börft, Abstract Forms and most recently Craigie Knowes and Orson Records. For his debut release on Cyphon Recordings, Obergman delivers four cuts of atmospheric, machine-driven music under the suitably cosmic title Periodic Motion.
Kirk Degiorgio’s influence on electronic music cannot be overstated, having been responsible for producing some of the most emotive and soulful machine music dating right back to the early 90’s. His connection with Cyphon co-founder Jamie Odell also dates back to the turn of the millennium when Kirk invited Jamie to play keys on his 21st Century Soul LP released on Ubiquity and subsequently releasing an EP together under the name Super Aloof on Exceptional. With Cyphon’s inspiration being indebted so heavily to the influence of Kirk’s music, the label presents the follow up to last year’s Frayed Edge EP here on the Elate EP. Rolling, acidic house, filtering pads, percussive groove and a bubbling 303 are all here to create a classic sound which will create just the right energy on a big system and help transition from deeper house to Detroit techno.
Cyphon Recordings presents a three-tracks electronic journey showcasing exactly why Kirk Degiorgio has sustained the level he has for so long. A melodic richness and tactile makeup, whereby Kirk’s tracks more than move your limbs, but rather meld directly to your heart.
