For its 6th release, Berlin-based Klangkuenstler returns to his Outworld imprint with the Weltschmerz EP – an ode to a world in turmoil, prophesying that there's light at the end of a pitch-black tunnel. For there's a fire of passion burning brightly within the depth of these two monstrous new tracks. Make no mistake, this is brutal, floor-shaking techno, yet, despite the sheer force, Klangkuenstler captures the emotional essence of our Zeitgeist, shape-shifting moods between raging anger, deep-blue melancholia and glimpses of hope. The EP's title-track 'Weltschmerz' kicks off mercilessly at the light-speed-tempo Klangkuenstler has become synonymous with. As a muscular kick thuds below slashing hats and rust-covered atmospherics, a venomous lead snakes through this airtight framework, unfolding into a moment of unadulterated ecstasy. 'Untergang', meanwhile, bursts of pure energy in tired times, thundering violently towards a bittersweet peak of warehouse-sized euphoria. To put it in a nutshell: Klangkuenstler rings in the end and we're going out with a bang. Though cooked-up for carnage, it's Klangkuenslter's intuition for existentialist contrasts that let the Weltschmerz EP transcend its design purpose to grow into something altogether bigger – touching body, mind and soul alike. The outside world may have ground to halt, but Outworld continues to move.

OUTWORLD Hard Techno

Es ist kalt, doch die Welt brennt ich suche halt, der mich auffangt es ergeht, jedem einzeln, von uns gleich, wenn wir allein sind Es ist kalt, doch die Welt brennt Wolken Schwarz, bis Dir auffallt es ergeht, jedem einzeln, so viel leichter, wenn wir zu zweit sind

Klangkuenstler presents 'Fight Club Vol. 1', Outworld's 7th release and second split EP, assembling ve fast-punching belters by an international roster of artists, who collectively sound like the Project Mayhem army ready for the end of days. Leading them into the ring is the man himself: On 'In Ketten Gelegt', Klangkuenstler juxtaposes a message of liberation with the pitchblack darkness of his trademark sound, crafting a merciless march towards the edge of oblivion in the process. Next up, Exil der Schatten's bloodthirsty synths and impressive energy-shifts mark out 'Dystopian Warfare' as the perfect club driller. Whatever's left standing is trampled down by the devil's thumping gabber kicks on DLV's 'Der Teufel' (Gazometer '98 Mix), before getting ground to dust by BLICZ's nervously jacking, tough-as- nails groove of 'Still in Hell'. Absolution, struggling against the high-speed framework on GEERSON's 'Expect of Something', closes the EP and brings the words of Tyler Durden to mind, ringing ever more true in 2021: 'Only after disaster can we be resurrected.'
