Pole: R


" Pole is Berlin-based producer and ~scape founder Stefan Betke. Central to the album are "Raum 1" and "Raum 2", two tracks produced in late 1996 and released by the ace Din label in 1998. R" stands for remix, but this to me is a proper album since the versions of these two "songs" sound different, and each one of these songs can be perceived as a different separate track. Maybe I'm a bit biased with this one because it was my first introduction to Pole.
Since then, I hold him to be one of my favourite artists within glitch genre. I remember, when David Byrne released his Bip Hop compilation on his own Luaka Bop label, guess who had the best song on it. In fact if my memory serves me well it was the only song I thought was any good on whole disc.

Give it a try.
