Slovenian producer Umek will release a new studio album in February.
Uroš Umek has been one of Eastern Europe's biggest electronic music success stories over the past decade, showing listeners that techno is a language that transcends national borders. And he will once again offer up a collection of tracks intended to prove just that early next year with Responding to Dynamic, a new full-length on his own 1605 imprint. According to the press release, the album will not deviate much from Umek's formula of "precise, gut-rumbling techno" and we can't help but agree if "Slap" and "Individual Breath," two early singles, are any indication. The only big change in Responding to Dynamic from previous work? He's jettisoned the analog sound of the past for newer means of production. Says Umek, "I used to have 40 analog synths and every compressor you can imagine. I was doing music with Atari Cubase and such, but I'm totally digital now. I'm using really cool Apogee sound cards and a super powerful Mac computer. That's everything I need."
