Chain Reaction is one of the keystone labels in the development in deep / experimental techno music.
A Sub-label of the infamous; 'Basic Channel' from Berlin, it was an outlet for artists expanding on the deep, crackling, chord-driven blueprint set by it's parent label.
Chain Reaction has become a benchmark for the sound some call 'dub-techno' but it is much more than this.
The epic chordscapes and swirling textures cover a range of moods, from contemplative ambiance to pulsing, sub-aquatic techno.
We have set one of our Selector's to mixing a showcase which highlights some of the best music this epic label has to offer.
Many thanks to Chain Reaction / Basic Channel / Berlin ; for giving us us such ethereal and forward thinking music.
