The emerging talent techno
producer and DJ named 01100110 (#zeroelevenzero) has released his
first EP, “Seaside Hollows.” It has been proudly published as an
independent release on his newborn record label “Elektroakustische
Tanzmusik.” Shadowy, vibrant, and electrifying, “Seaside Hollows”
showcases 01100110 as one of the most intriguingly dark techno
artists of the year so far and promises he has plenty more where that
came from.
Berlin's 01100110 cites as
main artistic influences dark ambient music from the 90's and 00's
and gothic-adjacent dance music such as the industrial, EBM, darkwave
and aggrotech subgenres. Compelled by the unique vibe of Berlins
techno scene, it was clear from the first moment that this is the
music he wants to make. 01100110's personal sound brings together
elements from each of these influences and adds something fresh and
unique for a result unlike anything today's techno fans have heard
before. With an emphasis on subtlety, emergent space and resonant
builds, “Seaside Hollows” by 01100110 is bound to stick in your
ear.
Asked about the underlying
concepts of his EP “Seaside Hollows,” 01100110 says, “This EP
is basically a study of sound and synesthesia. Sound, for me, is like
a fabric that you can touch and feel, or a texture that you can look
at. With this EP I want to invite my listeners to a journey and evoke
a world of imagination.”
As a DJ, 01100110 has been
developing for himself a sound that he would label as "Doom
Techno,” based on his roots in gothic music, far away from the
"oldschool" techno sound. Hence, his style can sometimes
get almost disturbingly dark, but always in a way that it feels
empowering to dance and moves with a strong driving force directed
towards the audience. “In data sciences, the numbers 0 and 1
resemble the states 'false' and 'true,' and there is nothing
in-between.“, he says, “This is reflected in the digital
capitalist society we are currently living in, as the individual is
often reduced to its capacity of reproducting capital. And there
seems to be no way out. But I want to give listeners and dancers a
moment of tranquility apart from their everyday lives.”
01100110 goes on to
explain that he uses his music to focus on what lies in-between
"true" and "false.
He considers this a space
of imagination. “With my productions and DJ-sets I am constantly
seeking new forms and ways to expand the scope of techno music by
seeking more complex rhythms, compositional forms, and sonic
landscapes. By deconstructing and expanding the forms of techno music
I want to inspire my audience to attentive listening, new ways of
dancing, and ultimately new ideas. I want to set in motion not only
the body, but also the mind.”

record label “Elektroakustische Tanzmusik,” as well as on
