Mindcast.21 || Karsten Pflum
With KARSTEN PFLUM‘s third contribution to Mindcast we’re happy to celebrate his new upcoming album and the fact that he is by now the most-released artist in our still young series. Pflum has been writing eclectic music for over ten years, and his mixes are widely known in the left-field. His influences extend to 1980s synth pop, Detroit techno, Nordic folk music and beyond, which help guide his surrealist soundscaping.
Karsten’s music sometimes portrays a constant, pure progression intertwined with an eclectic, adventurously eerie, dissonant and deep industrial movement. One moment he is assembling wobbled bass lines into broken dubstep, the next he transitions the listener into a funky, upbeat, fidgeted glitch Goliath: precisely technical and peculiar, with rhythmic mastery embedded in distant emotional beauty. Pflum has traveled and performed all over the world, and many remixes and EPs fill his discography. His 7th studio album, “DODE”, will be released on 18 June via Hymen Records. (Volterock)
