Benjamin Shock

Fresh dub techno from Benjamin Shock on Watermellow Music's second release. Four tracks of stripped-back, spatial production that sits comfortably in that sweet spot between dubstep's low-end precision and techno's hypnotic repetition.

Shock works with reverb and delay as primary tools here, letting sounds breathe and dissolve into themselves across these four pieces. There's restraint at play - nothing feels rushed or overcrowded. The tracks build through layering rather than sudden shifts, creating that immersive, almost meditative quality that defines dub techno at its best.

Watermellow Music is establishing itself as a label worth watching. This second release confirms they're interested in proper studio work and considered sound design rather than trend-chasing. Interstellar Echoes rewards close listening on a decent system.
