Crossing A Frozen Sea vinyl

Belgian label Testoon score a coup in a debut release from Leuven based compatriot and celebrated producer Red Stars Over Tokyo, whose releases on his own Hot Hair label have helped establish a reputation for hypnotic, pulsing lo fi techno. The Crossing A Frozen Sea 12" sees Jeroen Lauwers adopt a long form approach to his "no arty theories" brand of techno experimentalism; this Extended All Night Version of "Crossing A Frozen Sea" draws out some twenty minutes of free flowing looping ambient expression that seemingly references everything from The Residents to 80s Industrial music and the classic 1980s BBC documentary Threads. The Cologne collective Magazine is a sublime choice to rework the track, retaining and adding to the duration whilst adding a notable element of crystalline, other worldly momentum.
