Finnish techno veteran Orion returns to the controls of his own imprint Absence of Facts with ‘Particles’, a masterclass in textural sound design and monochromatic functionalism.
With its roots firmly in the relentless techno of the ’90s, Absence of Facts presents modern analog-inspired tracks that have been handcrafted and carefully selected in Berlin, Germany.
Orion’s three-track ‘Particles’ EP explores the hazy intersection between driving rhythm and atmospheric density, delivering precision tools for the darker hours of the floor.
Opening the EP, ‘Dust’ establishes a propulsive momentum, layering opaque, billowing chords over a tight, rolling low-end foundation. The energy shifts into a grittier terrain with ‘Smoke’, where granular distortion and static-laden percussion create a raw, cyclical groove that remains fiercely hypnotic. Closing the release, ‘Mist’ offers a vaporous, dub-infused interpretation, utilizing subtle modulations and deep-focus spatial effects to drift over a relentless, skeletal kick drum.
We are presenting ‘Smoke’.
‘Particles’ EP will be available after December 9th HERE.
