Ben Reymann is a Berlin-based techno producer. On his new “Straight Sight” EP out on Dstm, he lays out blistering ’90s style rave grooves. The producer’s single-minded focus and restrained palette are continually employed to kinetic ends across the collection’s four-tracks. Building percussive passages of hypnotic tension, only to melt them back down into pulsating ripples of sound, Reymann’s unrelenting kick always returns to push the groove into further ecstatic states. However, his ability to introduce subtle sonic variants into the mix stretch these tracks beyond the merely physical as they trigger deep echos of abstract emotion.
