Reclaim Your City 569 | Albert van Abbe

 A leading figure of vanguard electronics for well over the past two decades, Albert van Abbe is the epitome of a tireless, innovation-craving trailblazer, continually seeking to open new windows for the sound he loves. From early hardcore blasts to institutional commissions, evidence says there’s no right or wrong way to explore one’s own continuum, just paths to clear and visions to have. Percolating that motto through two hours of absolutely mind-boggling rushes and U-turns, the Eindhoven-based sound builder treats us to an impeccably laid-down parade of hi-NRG old school shuffle, spiralling modular excavations and future-facing dance floor experiments halfway heavy-traction machine talk and synth-heavy sci-fi-ism.
