Akte 001 [12" Vinyl]

Philipp Stoffel - Akte 001 [12" Vinyl]

Akte is a series of events at the renowned Club Gewolbe to keep the vision of timeless ambient, minimal, and techno in Cologne alive and is now expanding to develop a record label. The first release is a 12'' EP by founder Philipp Stoffel featuring four originals and a remix by living legend .VRIL. A modern interpretation of techno with strong dub influences, produced in different styles and put together to form a meaningful listening journey. Akte pursues an EP concept away from pure techno tools towards the idea of packing the diverse listening experience of an LP into an EP, striving for a texturally cohesive aural aesthetic. Mastering engineer Stefan Betke, also known as Pole, gave the record its sonic polish. The EP is rounded off by the grainy cover design by Berlin-based artist Friedrich Breidenich, which visually captures the sonic aesthetic and translates the listening experience into a striking visual form.
