For over a decade,
reclusive Berliners Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald have published a distinctive style of minimalist techno through
Basic Channel and several other labels based out of
their record store. In 1996, they expanded into dub with
Burial Mix, a series of 10"s featuring long-lost reggae vocalists. (They've also begun reissuing out-of-print releases by NYC's
Wackies.) Although their vinyl-centric releases have always been relatively underground, they may soon be reaching a wider audience thanks to a domestic (US) release of their latest CD comp by
Asphodel. Also see the latest issue of
The Wire for a new quasi-interview.
