Spanning 70 minutes and 27 tracks, Context’s new mix CD,"Unravelled," showcases six years and 16 adventurous releases, many of which have only been available on vinyl until now. The mix features Cali-techno heroes Sutekh (founder of Context), Safety Scissors, Twerk, Kit Clayton, and Dave Aju as well as international talents Portable (South Africa/UK), Ben Nevile (Canada), Murcof (Mexico), Klunder (Australia), and Wang Inc. (Italy).
“Unravelled” works the myriad of production techniques and cultural references unique to each Context artist into a gripping, beat-driven narrative. Shifting from the spacious, orchestral soundscapes of Murcof to the silky dub-house gymnastics of Ben Nevile, and from the razor-sharp, algorithmically crafted techno of Twerk to the African-inflected rhythms of Portable, “Unravelled” draws out the signature sounds and styles found in Context’s repertoire. Known for their inventiveness and attention to detail, Context artists make use of the most advanced digital techniques without sacrificing the funk. With this mix, Sutekh traces a common line between these artists, providing a much-needed retrospective of one of America's most bold and experimental techno labels.
