Ostgut Ton reissues Zehn / Drei with original tracks by Function and Substance alongside Len Faki's remix of L.B. Dub Corp. It's a characteristically sharp compilation from the Berlin imprint, capturing that precise moment when minimal techno was shedding its excesses and tightening into something leaner and more architecturally rigorous.

Function and Substance deliver the originals with the kind of stripped-back precision Ostgut Ton built its reputation on - drums that breathe, synths that cut without cluttering. Len Faki's rework of L.B. Dub Corp refocuses the material through a different lens, adding his particular approach to depth and movement. This is techno that trusts space as much as sound.

A solid mid-2010s reissue from one of Berlin's most consistently uncompromising labels. Essential for anyone still paying attention to how the city's underground actually sounds rather than how it's marketed.
