OSTGUT 116EP
|
After a seven-year hiatus, the longtime Berghain resident is back with four new tracks of deep, narcotic techno. A lawyer by trade, on Embodiment EP Norman Nodge reflects on decades of observing how dancers develop an intuitive relationship to music and process new sounds. "Tacit Knowing" is a nod to the feedback loop between the instincts of dancer and producer, combining bassline, breakbeats, and Detroit-like strings. In contrast, "Discipline" is aggressive, updated peak-time acid, packed with the sounds of metal and overdriven snares. "Gathering" is a bongo-heavy tribal groover, while "Embodiment" references a more halcyon Ostgut Ton aesthetic

OSTGUT 023CD
|
Berghain resident Norman Nodge presents the sixth installment in the club's mix series. Since 2005, Norman has played the Berghain floor once a month and has become an integral part of the Berghain crew. In the meantime, he has produced several releases under his own name on Marcel Dettmann's MDR Label and on Ostgut Ton. As a DJ, he combines classic Detroit and UK techno with Chicago house and a lot of new material, never afraid to go for the more unusual sounds, away from current trends and always putting a mixture of softer and harder styles into one set. Norman knows how to create a journey and so it's not surprising that his mix for Ostgut Ton is also built from many different elements. Classic tracks like Jeff Mills' "Keeping of the Kept" feature alongside the work of younger producers like Patrick Gräser. His "From Foreign Territories" is one of three exclusive unreleased tracks on this mix. Nodge also remembers that established artists like Keith Tenniswood as Radioactive Man are still producing powerful music today and includes a few recent tracks from such well-established names. Showing that his palette of taste goes far beyond what you might expect to be the typical Berghain sound, much lighter tracks like Legowelt's remix of the incredible "Rainy Day Juno Jam" by Xosar are also included. With probably the most varied tracklisting for a Berghain mix CD yet, Norman Nodge courageously convinces us to try new combinations. All in all, the mix, which was recorded live at Berghain, is a perfect reflection of the Norman Nodge way of DJing and also a document of what you can expect to hear from a resident at the club. Other artists include: BirdsTwoCage, Oni Ayhun, Mokira, Hauntologists, Staffan Linzatti, Silent Servant, DJ T-1000, The Nighttripper, Planetary Assault Systems, Charlton, Architectural, Mark Broom, Ctrls, Chancellor, Tim Taylor/DJ Slip, El Gato #9 and Monty Luke.
