DJ Koze and his psychedelic techno

Been really enjoying DJ Koze's 'Reincarnations', collected remixes on Get Physical. I think it's a lot stronger than his collections of original stuff.

He tends to do stuff with pitch-bent or unstable sounds, a lot of sped up or slowed down voices, reversed bits and a distinctive mix of synthetic and sampled sounds. It's all stuff that I think gives his music a psychedelic feel. Sometimes the palette makes me think of all the good stuff I've heard about Boards of Canada, but applied to techno instead of sorta hip-hop tempi / feels.

So, uh, I'd recommend his stuff if any of that sounds appealing. Also keen to hear any other suggestions of things you reckon tread similar ground... or at least add up to a similar feeling?

on the psychedelic techno tip, i'm big into Kyle Hall at the moment - 18 year old detroit techno genius. he had a record out on FXHE last year which was just mental - sounded like three different tracks winding round each other. his stuff sounds very broken up...both ultra-techy and organic.

i love this mix he's done recently;

some of it sounds like Philly soul acts being eaten by machines. yum.

Kyle Hall in that Fact interview said:
Yep. I’m working on a remix for Hyperdub of a track called 'Aidy's Girl Is A Computer' by Darkstar.
Errrrr what? How did I not know about this?
