DEFTR, the alias of Answer Code Request and Jan Wagner, the Ostgut Ton mixing engineer, pianist, and producer, will present an album on npm.
We’re told to expect “a captivating fusion of ambient and techno.”
In that way, the collaborative project marks a departure from Answer Code Request’s renowned 4/4 techno framework, venturing into expansive auditory realms enriched by Wagner’s classical expertise.
Having previously released three EPs, including Kreuzberg 05, that hinted at this direction, DEFTR solidifies their unique sonic identity with this Run Away.
The interplay between Answer Code Request’s intricate rhythms and Wagner’s ambient sensibilities creates “a dynamic tension, resulting in a listening experience that is both immersive and transformative.”
Spanning eight meticulously crafted tracks, the album explores a spectrum of blissful and resonant soundscapes,” we’re told.
