G.DUBS02 || Lars Hemmerling – Dark Woods
G.DUBS02 features Lars Hemmerling, an artist deeply rooted in Berlin’s underground history, delivering a three-track journey that dissolves the boundaries between Techno, Drum ‘n’ Bass, and Dub. Dark Woods is a testament to Hemmerling’s mastery of analog synthesis, resulting in a sound that is as innovative as it is evocative of the city’s electronic heritage.
The EP is defined by its nuanced sound design and rich, textured soundscapes. Hemmerling expertly weaves together subtle minimal breaks, tribal influences, and complex polyrhythmic patterns, all anchored by a formidable low-end presence. This combination creates a hypnotic, “unconventional” atmosphere that has already earned high praise from a diverse range of tastemakers, including Dasha Rush, Electric Indigo, dBridge, and Darwin. Complemented by the surrealist cover art of Zeke Clough, Dark Woods stands as a definitive exploration of modern, bass-heavy tribalism.
