Title: Alternative Hypothesis EP
Artist: Ben Buitendijk
Label: Oblique Music
Cat Number: OBQ008
Genre: Techno
1: Contamination Zone
2: Stardust
3: Alternative Hypothesis
I had no idea who Ben Buitendijk is until I heard a track he did for Steve O’Sullivan a while back called ‘Promised Land’, which showed his dubbier side. He also did a splendid mix in the same vein for the Mosaic boss’s excellent mix series. (And I reviewed a past collaboration here). Well, in contrast to the Mosaic stuff, this release has a harder edge, but only really comes out all guns blazing on ‘Contamination Zone’. Both ‘Stardust’ and ‘Alternative Hypothesis’ are sparser, more minimally cosmic cuts, and owe a debt to Jeff Mills. All three tracks float on their own momentum and the production is top notch. Subtle and effective stuff.
