MOHN

[Wolfgang Voigt & Jörg Burger]

Reunion of two masterminds of the german electronic music continuum over the last two decades, Mohn signals the complicity between Wolfgang Voigt and Jörg Burger, almost 20 years after the historic 'Las Vegas' - released as Burger/Ink – and with some discreet EP's released as Burger/Voigt in-between. Voigt has been an influential and active figure at the forefront of the german scene, either as one of Kompakt Records’ bosses, or through such relevant projects as Mike Ink, M:I:5 or, most importantly, GAS – four records making an essential discography. Burger has been spreading out an overwhelming number of aliases, with The Bionaut and The Modernist as some of the most cherished and well known. Based in Cologne, and taking great responsibility in shaping what became known as the sound of that city, they both share a similar background in techno, all the while mutating its core signifiers into something that defies categorization and touches on a myriad of electronic languages along the way. As Mohn, the duo sinks into darker territories, navigating through a thick fog of ominous beats, populated by spectral echoes and ethereal synths.
