byetone s new record symeta opens with a combined track - a transit - since topas and telegramm could be seen as one single piece. both tracks convey the atmosphere of a live session rather than the character of a studio production. the tracks are quite long and deal with repetition, layers of sounds, density and energy, more than melodic and engineering finesse. the whole album follows this approach, as it was fashioned within the context of live performances during the last two years. neuschnee Ð the third track Ð has an obviously reduced tempo, creating a wide landscape of sound with an intimate aura, which works as a counter draft to the other tracks of the record. with opal, the tempo speeds up again, a polyrhythmic phrase whirls around a straight beat, filters are turned, all that evokes the impression of early-90s minimal techno. byetone is basically interested in remembering, in a way to preserve, in citing rock/pop styles, without getting stuck in the past, whereas non of the tracks really fit into a specific genre. seen from this perspective, helix opens the final, more rocky block of the album. here, the tracks are offensive and rude and sound like a band in a rehearsal room. this part peaks with black peace in a high speed heavy metal session. finally, golden elegy closes symeta and a band-like situation occurs. the track ends with a wired lament, presented by jan kummer in the tenor of chemnitz, hometown of both artists. in former gdr-times, they started their musical activity with the brilliant-dilettantish ag geige, together with frank bretschneider (komet). symeta , the title of the album, appears mysterious. this synthetic word arouses associations with symmetry, synthesis or (meta-)structures. it doesn t stand for a definite object, there isn t any solution, and that is the reason why the title has been chosen. byetone s music tries to create such associations without really fulfilling these expectations. in this sense, symeta consequently follows death of a typographer (r-n92), the well received predecessor.

wenn zwei titanen aufeinander treffen, entsteht nicht selten ein geborener klassiker. wie in diesem fall, wenn marcel dettmann, der ende der 90er im berghain-vorgŠnger ostgut anfing und bis heute diesem signifikanten berliner clubkollektiv treu blieb, der fabric-serie in ihrer 77. ausgabe seinen stempel aufdrŸckt. wie hšren eine ausbalancierte selektion aus purem techno. mit unveršffentlichten tracks seines eigenen mdr labels, raren und ungehšrten marcel dettmann remixes und top-protagonisten wie terence fixmer und robert hood. straight wie kaltes, klares wasser. und dennoch werden die lebendigkeit, die wŸrze und die reichweite dieses meisterlichen mixsets viele hšrer positiv Ÿberraschen.
