KNWN 2.5, the latest release from the Berlin-based label and artist Knowone, is a stunning exploration of atmospheric techno and ambient soundscapery. Deep dubby Basic Channel inspired techno tracks.

The mysterious Knowone imprint presents a collection of dusty, smoked out, dub techno journeys. This is the real deal; for those of you who aren’t familiar, this label is highly recommended for fans of Basic Channel, Echospace or Meanwhile. Enough said, right? This collection comes in a limited edition, handmade wooden box with 5 x 12″s and 2 CDs. It’s hard to pick a highlight from here because all the tracks on here are so damn good. But we do particularly enjoy the glacial and cavernous vibes of Track 3, the hypnotic and dubby deep house on “Track 5” while “Track 8” sounds like Jeff Mills and Stephen Hitchell going on a stoned UFO journey over the Arctic.

The second Knowone album 3x12Inch with a slightly change of sound that moves away from the smokey dubby tracks to more melodic Detroit influenced tracks.

First Longplayer on Knowone with dub techno, downbeat, ambient tracks, each track got one side to tell his own story. Six tracks with more than 70 min playtime.
